The breed has been identified as being at risk for developing immune-mediated diseases and certain forms of cancer .
Two immune-mediated conditions seen more frequently in Tollers are immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRD), which resembles lupus in humans, and steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA), a non-infectious inflammation of the meninges .
IMRD typically affects middle-aged dogs, while SRMA most commonly affects young dogs between six and eighteen months of age . A 2024 study of Swedish Tollers found that approximately 3% of living dogs had been diagnosed with IMRD, 3.5% with SRMA, and 14% with some form of neoplasia (cancer) .
For your Toller puppy, it is essential to ask the breeder for health clearances, including hip and elbow evaluations, as well as eye examination certificates.
Choose a high-quality puppy food that meets AAFCO nutritional standards for growth, as puppy formulas contain the appropriate protein levels and calcium-to-phosphorus ratio for developing bones .
Feed three to four small meals per day from weaning until about six months of age, then reduce to two meals per day .
Adult Tollers typically require between 400 and 800 calories per day, but puppies need careful portion control to avoid rapid growth that could stress developing joints
Weekly brushing with a slicker brush or a pin brush is sufficient for most of the year .
However, Tollers shed their undercoat heavily, typically once or twice per year, and during these periods you will need to brush your puppy daily to manage the loose hair .
Pay special attention to the fine fur around and under the ears, as this area mats easily.
This breed is exceptionally intelligent, eager to please, and responsive to positive reinforcement methods .
Short, positive training sessions of ten to fifteen minutes work best, using small treats and enthusiastic praise.
Harsh words or heavy corrections will only damage their sensitive nature and willingness to work. Tollers are active dogs that require consistent mental and physical stimulation from a young age
