Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Rottweiler: Overview

Both the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Rottweiler are similar in size. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Rottweiler are both medium-sized dogs.

Furthermore, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.

On the other hand, the Rottweiler belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Rottweiler: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever to the Rottweiler based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red.

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.

However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.

    Health Problems of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Health Problems of Rottweiler

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Rottweiler are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Rottweiler is prone to more genetic health problems than the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Rottweiler than for the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

    3 health tests are recommended for Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever while 5 tests are recommended for the Rottweiler.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers and in Rottweilers.

    Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Health Problems

    Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers for:

  • Eye Examination

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
