Flat-Coated Retriever

♡ ♡ ♡ - ♡ ♡ ♡ - ♡ ♡ ♡

During the early 1900s, Flat-Coated Retrievers were favoured by gamekeepers. Now, they’re also accepted as great family pets due to their friendly and puppy-like nature!

Flat-Coated Retrievers are a high energy breed, requiring around 2 hours of exercise a day. As a utility dog, they're bred for the dual purpose of land retrieving and water retrieving. This versatility is what makes them a great asset to gamekeepers!

In an article (linked below) Karen Peterson explains that during the breed's development, the following traits were emphasized: "intelligence, nose, ability to follow the trail of wounded game, aptitude for carrying, combined with a soft mouth, strength and courage in water, obedience, steadiness and desire to please." (Peterson, A Brief History of The Flat-Coated Retriever, 2012).

🌸 Sakura et Una 🌸

Les sakura du Japon ont récemment accueilli une visiteuse spéciale : Una The Golden, une golden retriever photographiée pendant la saison du hanami. Tandis que les cerisiers en fleurs offraient leur spectacle éphémère, Una s'est prêtée à des séances photos sous les nuages roses des sakura.

Ce contraste entre le pelage doré d'Una et les délicates fleurs roses a créé des images mémorables, incarnant la rencontre entre la joie canine et la tradition contemplative japonaise du hanami.
