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).
