Flat Coated Retrievers

The Flat Coated Retriever is often affectionately referred to as a Flattie. They are large gundogs that resemble Golden and Labrador Retrievers but with longer muzzles which sets them apart from the other two breeds. They love being in and around water and will naturally gravitate towards it whenever they get the chance. They are slow to mature which should be taken into account when training them but this also means they retain their puppy-like traits for that much longer than other dog breeds.
