Dogs train to retrieve ducks in Wyoming County

An event in Wyoming County helped dogs get certified as working dogs, doing what they were bred to do, retrieve ducks.

WYOMING COUNTY, Pa. — A world-class canine certification took place over the weekend in Wyoming County.

It was the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club USA National Specialty.

These dogs came from all over the world to do what they were bred for, get ducks out of the woods.

Forty-five dogs showed off their skills.

"It's very important to us because, as breeders, we now get to see dogs from all over the world. And that gives us a better opportunity to see what is the health of our breed. Are we going in the right direction," said Francine Kaplan, Region 7 Director, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club.

DeCoverly Kennels in Falls Township, Wyoming County, hosted the event.

People travel far and wide for this national event that travels to different states each year.
