The Flat-Coated Retriever is a gundog breed originating from the United Kingdom. The coat is thick and flat, of only moderate length, providing protection without adding weight. It is strong but elegant, never cobby, among the most streamlined of the retrievers. This highly energetic breed requires lots of outdoorsy exercise. This breed is among the most devoted and companionable of dogs, a true family dog.
