About the Flat Coated Retriever
Flat Coated Retrievers share a range of characteristics with other retrievers, including sociability with humans and other dogs, natural retrieving skills and a love of water.
These affectionate, energetic dogs maintain their puppy-like excitement well into adulthood and are best suited to active, outdoor orientated families.
