#8 Do Tollers scream?

#9 Are Tollers smelly?
On the plus side though, tollers do not have the strong doggy smell common to retrievers. They are more similar to collies in this respect. Trimming is very minimal and is limited to neatening the ears and feet every couple of weeks. It's very easy to groom your own toller.
