Flat-Coated Retriever

Known as the 'Peter Pan' of dogs, the Flat-Coated Retriever maintains a puppy-like outlook on life well into its senior years. Originally developed as a dual-purpose retriever for land and water, this breed is celebrated for its distinctive long head and lustrous coat. They are deeply devoted family companions that thrive on human interaction and vigorous outdoor activities.
