Based on the dog's average weight and exercise level, the optimal diet for most Duck Tolling Retrievers is 212 to 3 cups of high-quality dry food a day. 2.5 to 3 cups of high-quality dried food a day, split into two meals, is the recommended daily number. To keep your Toller well, count his food and serve him twice a day instead of tossing it out all the time. When you're not sure if he's overweight, give him the eye and hand checks.
While Tollers shed, they are low-maintenance dogs in terms of grooming. A frequent brush to avoid tangles and loose hairs, and a daily meeting in the spring and fall when the Toller sheds the most.
The Toller, like most other dog breeds, has a medium-length, water-repellent double coat that sheds all year. However, the Toller sheds more heavily in the spring and fall, necessitating more regular grooming.'
To keep their coat looking its best, Tollers need to be brushed once a week. Brushing regularly is recommended throughout the shedding season. Please pay particular attention to the coat above and under the ears, as it is smoother and more likely to tie in these regions. Since Tollers should be viewed as naturally as possible, only minor grooming is recommended, usually limited to tidying up around the ears and feet.
Excess hair between the pads of the feet should be removed with caution, as this will help your Toller retain traction on indoor surfaces. Trimming nails should be done, preferably regularly.
This little terrier can adapt to city life, but he prefers the countryside. They enjoy being outside and want nothing more than being able to dig for hours. A decent morning stroll is thus the bare minimum for a stable Norwich Terrier's fitness requirements. In addition to Earthdog tournaments, Norwich Terriers are becoming more common in Agility and Flyball competitions. The dogs were trained to be working terriers, but they need at least one hour of regular physical exercise, such as a healthy hike, race, or working session.
Tollers are a relatively stable breed, with a life expectancy of 12 - 14 years. Addison's disease is a health issue in the breed that can take years to occur because, by the time a diagnosis is made, the canine may have already had offspring. Attempts to develop a gene-marker test have so far been unsuccessful.
Tollers are also more prone to autoimmune diseases than other breeds. It's vital to double-check because the breed tends to have minor health issues. On the other hand, Breeders will have their stock screened for eye disease every year, and breeding stock will have their hips x-rayed for Hip Dysplasia before being used for breeding.
The Toller is an intelligent dog that loves going outside and gets along well with children. They are perfect for the active family who lives in the country. At a young age, they should be socialized. They are warm, eager to please, enthusiastic, and get along well with children.
They make excellent family dogs, but prospective owners should be aware of the physical and emotional effort needed to keep a Toller occupied during the decision-making process. Though Tollers are enthusiastic and outgoing around their owners and relatives, they are wary around outsiders due to their protective nature.
Tollers have an odd combination of stubbornness and softness in their personalities. They have the brain of a Chessie and the spirit of a spaniel at times. These traits will make training them difficult, and you never know whether they are ''putting one on over you.''
Reward-based programming works well for most Tollers. They want to see what's in it for them and are interested in ''learn to win'' opportunities. They like enjoyable teaching, so brief and active sessions are ideal. However, it is also essential to have repercussions for negative answers.
They get along well with other dogs, but they have a high prey instinct to chase cats or other small animals. If cats, for example, are introduced early in a Toller's life, their prey instinct can be stopped. Failure to socialize Tollers appropriately at a young age will lead to violent, disruptive, or timid behavior later in life.
