Another Day at the River...

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Last weekend we took Dance to a local river/park and she did pretty good, but didn't want much to do with the water and was a little timid with the people. We took her back today and she was much better! She leaped into the water with lots of enthusiasm and happily greeted anyone and anything that wanted to see her. Her socialization stuff is going extremely well. We had a wonderful day. The only thing I got tired of was the "what is she?" question, but I fully expect to hear that for as long as I have a Toller around. Anyway, here are the pictures. There are lots of them. I took over a hundred, but I managed to narrow it down to about 30 or so, give or take a few. I hope you enjoy them!

On the way..

Meeting another puppy, Benji. He reminded me of "our" Raven. His owner said he was a Lab/Whippet/Pit mix.










She doesn't believe in running - she pounces and leaps instead, lol:

That's all of them!

Joyce, if you happen to see these, sorry again for the lack of Tango pictures. I promise I'll get some new ones soon! Probably Sunday.

She is an absolute doll! She has such a cute little smile and I love her white feet. I like the ones of her in the water!

What fun! I love the pictures of Dance in the water. Do all Tollers have pink noses?

Dance, look at you! Happy and bouncy and having so much fun, fun, FUN! What a smiley little puppy you are. And lookey at you standing in the water up to your belly, ha ha ha.

Cute collar on her, I like htat with paws and bones. And the action pictures really make us feel like we were right there with you both! Thanks for posting, such fun.

Great pictures! She is so cute!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Thanks you guys!

Riptide, Tollers can have either flesh (pink) or black pigment. The flesh colour is most commonly seen though and is usually more desired. I personally much prefer flesh pigment over black on Tollers.

Awwww, Dance is soooooo pretty!!! It looks like she had a total ball at the River yesturday...how fun!

I don't think I've seen a Toller before, I'm going to go look them up. Wow, very pretty! Thanks for showing us her pictures.

EDIT: Just looked up the Tollers, (Actually, "Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever" and learned all about Dance's Breed.) so, how does she act around the critters around the river? I love how you said she leaps around instead of runs...so cute!!!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Thanks, Kelly.

She's still a pup so she's pretty unsure of different critters when she sees them. Yeserday there was a duck flying up and down the river that she was pretty interested in and wanted to chase, but most of the time she stares at the animal (be it a chipmunk, squirrel, bird, etc.) with curiosity but won't try to approach it.

She is so adorable! She looks so happy when she is sleeping on the way back home!
