“Madison” our 2 year old female Toller

The NSDTR or “Toller” as they are better known, are still a fairly rare breed within Australia although they are rapidly gaining in popularity due to their wonderful natures and versatile abilities.

They are medium in size, have a low maintenance water resistant coat that only requires a quick brush through about once a week and adjust well to multi species pet households. They also are one of the most appealing looking dog breeds (not that we are in any biased here at Novastar) we think that it has a lot to do with that infectious big Toller grin that does it!

The Toller has a great sense of humour and fun and they love to be involved in any activity that engages either their minds or bodies. They are an extremely agile breed that enjoys being active, whether it is chasing a ball in the back yard or being involved in any dog related activities. Tollers are easy to train, they love to swim, compete or preform and have excelled in most of the dog related disciplines i.e. Obedience and Agility trials, fly ball and Frisbee comps as well as making outstanding dancing with dogs competitors and trick training too. In fact there really is not much that a Toller would not be unwilling to do for you as long you are willing to take the time to teach them, they are very fast learners and respond exceptionally well to positive reinforcement training methods.
