Breed All About It - Flat-Coated Retriever

The Flattie takes its time to mature and always remains exuberant in spirit. Breeders and trainers love the breed's energy and keenness--but for first-time dog owners, these dogs may be difficult to train.

I have a Flat Coated Retriever, he is so wonderful, kept me smiling as I went through cancer, had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, and hysterectomy. But Memphis was just a pup then and he always kept me on my toes and a big smile on my face. Love him he is 2 1/2 now and still a puppy.

I love flat coats and have two of my own! I cannot see why they are not more popular than they currently are, because the make such good family pets and working dogs alike! They are just so loveable, attractive and gentle - everything you would ever want in a family dog! A real fun, loving and playful dog!

Flat coats are such a beautiful, loyal and truly loving breed of dog.

my Loki never failed to put a smile on my face, she would come over for a big cuddle whenever i felt down (it's like she knew!!). We only had her for a short 6 years before we found out she had a fatal tumour in her tummy, and had her put to sleep. It's like losing a family member!

they are such devoted doggies and always do their best to please you.

RIP Loki. x

Please---Put him on a diet ASAP. 45kg will tear up his hips and joints and shorten his life.
