About the Flat-Coated Retriever:
Flat-Coated Retriever information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

This breeds personality can best be summed up in one word, "happy". They love to be with their families and are not an outside dog, or a dog for someone who is very busy. They need daily exercise and will love to play fetch, go swimming, or even be a jogging partner. They are good with older children, although care should be taken that they don't knock them over in their attempts to play. They are friendly and outgoing and will generally love everyone they meet, making them poor guard dogs.
