Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Yorkshire Terrier: Overview

A very important difference between the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Yorkshire Terrier is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a medium-sized dog while the Yorkshire Terrier is a tiny-sized dog.

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.

Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.

On the other hand, the Yorkshire Terrier belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Yorkshire Terrier: Comparison Table

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

    Health Problems of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever versus Health Problems of Yorkshire Terrier

    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 Yorkshire Terrier 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 Yorkshire Terrier 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 Yorkshire Terrier than for the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic 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.
