The Toller combines an impression of power with a springy gait, showing good reach in front and a strong driving rear. The Toller was bred to retrieve from icy waters and must have a waterrepellant double coat of medium length and softness with softer dense undercoat. The coat may have a slight wave on the back, but is otherwise straight. Featherings are soft at the throat, behind the ears and at the back of the thighs, and forelegs are moderately feathered. Color is various shades of red or orange with lighter featherings and underside of tail, and usually at least one of the following white markings - a tip of tail, feet, chest and blaze.
