The Flat-coated Retriever is a great, tail-waggin' family dog. Full of spirit and happiness. It thrives on getting as much attention from its family as he gives to them. Very trainable using a varied and fun routine. Great with children and other pets. They are best suited for rural life where they can swim and run to get the daily exercise that is essential to their wellbeing. Just a very happy and pleasant dog. Needs a weekly brushing.
