Two friendly Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers named Schooner and
Dory welcome guests to Ashlea House.
In 2006, Schooner joined Dory as an Ashlea House mascot. They
share a grandfather and have become fast friends

Tollers are the only true Canadian breed, bred here in Nova Scotia
to resemble little red foxes and imitate their wild counterpart's
very successful waterfowling methods. Tolling, in a hunting context,
means to "entice or lure game." Tollers are the world's
hardest working hunting retrievers because they are responsible for
both luring and retrieving the duck. We don't hunt with Dory but he
does his "tolling dance" while waiting for his favourite
frisbee to be thrown.
