As requested, here's a breed very close to my heart, the Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever.

The "Toller" has one of the most unique hunting styles of any gundog.

Quote:
The hunter stays hidden in a blind and sends the dog out to romp and play near the water, usually by tossing a ball or stick to be retrieved. The dog's activity and white markings pique the curiosity of waterfowl, who swim over to investigate. The act of enticing or luring game to approach is known as "tolling". When the birds are close, the hunter calls the dog back to the blind, then rises, putting the birds to flight, allowing him a shot. The Toller then retrieves any downed birds.


Thanks to Wikipedia for the description.

The photos included show more fur than my models, but mine represent a typical "working" Toller rather than one specially groomed for dog shows. There is also a wide range of white markings that may or may not be present in Tollers, and my models represent two of the most common variations.

Included are two colour variants, one with white markings and one without. Download the one you like or download them both in one convenient file.
