Our Mission
 The NSDTRC (USA) is a breed club dedicated to the Nova
Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, or "Toller." The club was founded in 1984 with
our primary purpose being to encourage and promote the selective breeding of
purebred Tollers, emphasizing hunting ability, temperament, conformation, and
intelligence.
A secondary objective was to create a club wherein members
could have an outlet for information gathered regarding our "little red dogs."
Since our founding the objectives have been expanded and
can be found in the club's Bylaws.
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club (USA) is the
only national breed club for Tollers, and is the parent breed club recognized
by the American Kennel Club. The Board of Directors of The American
Kennel Club approved the admission of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
into the Miscellaneous Class at their June 2001 meeting. Tollers became
eligible to compete in the Miscellaneous Class, Obedience, Tracking, Agility
and Junior Showmanship at AKC events held on and after September 1, 2001 and
subsequently became eligible to compete in Hunt Tests on June 1, 2002.
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever was accepted into
the Sporting Group on July 1, 2003. The Toller may enter any regular AKC
classes for any show that is on July 1 or after. Registration was turned over from FSS
to the AKC beginning May 1, 2003. The club became AKC licensed to hold
point shows and Obedience trials on August 11, 2003. In March 2004, the
club became licensed to do Agility Trials, and in July 2004 became licensed to
do AKC Hunt Tests. In September 2005, the club was granted AKC Member
status.
