Learn About Flat Coated Retriever

Flat-Coated Retrievers comprise a breed of medium- to large-sized dog that originated in England during the 19th century. They were initially bred to work as gundogs, retrieving birds on land or in water. They are believed to have been bred from the now extinct St. John's dog, an ancestor of Labrador Retrievers, as well as Newfoundlands, collies, and setters. Today, Flat-Coated Retrievers are moderately popular as pets and as show dogs, and often work as drug-sniffing dogs and guide dogs.

On average, Flat-Coated Retrievers measure roughly 22-25 inches in height and weigh 55-75 pounds. As with many breeds, they are sexually dimorphic in that males tend to be larger than females. They are known for their unique head shape; a Flat-Coated Retriever's head is said to look like it is one continuous piece due to their flat skulls and cheeks, and their strong muzzles that are filled in around their eyes.

Flat-Coated Retrievers have long, silky, shiny, straight coats. Their coats are moderately dense and full, but lie flatly on their skin and therefore do not detract from the dog's slender, athletic, and elegant appearance. Flat-Coated Retrievers' fur feathers on their legs and tails. Their coats may be black, liver, or yellow or cream in color. Yellow coats are excluded from the breed standard.

Flat-Coated Retrievers are adventurous, exuberant, and sweet. They possess great enthusiasm, and love to have fun and be active. Though their high energy may sometimes border on boisterousness, they ultimately love to please, and learn quickly and eagerly. Keeping with their youthful attitude, Flat-Coated Retrievers can be impatient, and may become bored easily. Their excitement about life and childlike disposition are known to last with a fervor even into their old age.

As retrievers, Flat-Coated Retrievers require a great amount of exercise. They also need to be engaged often and have a fairly high attention requirement, meaning that Flat-Coated Retriever owners must be able to dedicate a fair amount of time to their dog. Flat-Coated Retrievers have low grooming requirements, needing only to be brushed once per week, and rarely, if ever, needing to be trimmed. They shed moderately.
