Flat-Coated Retriever
Known as the game-keeper’s dog for its extensive use on estates in England, the Flat-Coated Retriever has not reached the level of popularity in the U.S. as the Golden or Lab has. Developed from different strains of retrievers, they were first shown as early as 1860. They were valuable in hunting because of their quiet, business-like manner and ability to take directions readily. They specialize in retrieving upland game and fowl. They are a medium sized dog that shows power as well as raciness in movement and a calm demeanor that works in a family situation.
