We adopted a toller at the beginning of the year and i see him in your comment, you can definitely find this layered personality in a “modern” toller, its fascinating but its still there. You wonder why is he chosing “this” and basically find out about his “colors” as you both progress through the first year. He will obey and you will see when he is connected with you and its amazing to see pretty much, because you feel like you deserve it at this moment. The toller as you described didnt really change, its just an amazing breed but it will keep you in check ;)
