Introduction

The Flat-Coated Retriever boasts a sleek black or liver-colored coat, radiating elegance and athleticism. Known for their friendly and optimistic demeanor, they make superb family pets, eager to please and brimming with boundless energy. These medium to large dogs require regular exercise, reveling in outdoor playtime or a good swim. Intelligent and sociable, they blend seamlessly into various households, although their exuberance may overwhelm the very young or elderly. Their luscious coat does require some grooming, but the irreplaceable companionship they offer makes every stroke of the brush worthwhile.
