In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Flat-Coated Retriever that you might not know.
A Quick Overview:
Group: Sporting Dogs
Weight: 55 to 70 pounds
Height: 1 foot, 10 inches to 2 feet tall at the shoulder
Life Expectancy: 10 to 12 years
At first glance, you might think the Flat-Coated Retriever resembles a black or brown Golden Retriever, but no such thing. He’s a distinctive breed, originally developed as a dual-purpose retriever of game on land and from water. His early popularity, which peaked before World War I, was eclipsed by that of the Golden and Labrador Retrievers, but his fans think that’s for the best, preferring to keep the secret of his fun-loving yet hard-working nature to themselves.
Nicknamed the Peter Pan of dogs for his ever-youthful outlook on life, the Flat-Coated Retriever has many desirable qualities. He’s smart, friendly, adaptable, and cheerful. He’s also mischievous and exuberant, with a moderately high energy level. His exercise needs must be met for him to maintain the sweet, calm temperament that he’s known for.
This is a slow-maturing breed, which means that he’ll act puppylike for several years beyond physical maturity. He’s a bit of a ham and will always make you laugh, even if he’s just disobeyed you. The Flat-Coat is sensitive and doesn’t respond well to harsh training methods. He may react by becoming stubborn or simply refusing to do anything you ask until you soothe his hurt feelings.

How smart, friendly, and adaptable is your Flat-Coated Retriever?
Do they act puppylike for several years beyond physical maturity?
Let us know in the comments!
I have a flat coat mix. The people I adopted her from said her mom was a golden retriever and they didn’t know the father. I’m thinking they were not entirely honest, but by then I was already set on taking the 4month old off of their hands. My dog’s ears sit up higher then goldens and flats. The vet said she may have Aussie shepherd in her based on the ears and tail. My dog has hair like a lab, but slightly longer with a lil wave in it. Like the chocolate looking flat at the start of the video. My crazy lil pup is on my channel. She is a hand full. I love her lil mischievous butt tho. 😂✌️. Dogs rule
Omg, 2.5 years later I finally figured out what breed I adopted from the SPCA!!! 🤩🥰 Yay!
Every single fact is 1000% accurate. 😂
He is absolutely the love of my life. 🥰
We have two wonderful Flatcoats. One is 8 and the other 4 – but it's like having two puppies. They have so much personality – sometimes too much…but damn we love them so much!
My flat coated retriever passed away 5 months ago. I rescued her when she was about 7 years old. She (Kayia) was the best friend I ever had in my life and I miss her so much and am so lonely since she left. Best buddy ever !!
All dogs eat poop, especially frozen poop.
My dog is mongrel but he looks 1:1 like a float coated retriever but in smaller version
Love these dogs. Out dog loves water!!! Another view of the Lake from Lucky https://youtu.be/6ch0T-bgQx8 Check it out!!!
After 2 years I finally figured out which breed I adopted۔۔۔۔
A point to the toddler and elderly person thing, training is critical. They are amazing animals and love people, so making sure they will listen to you while the fragile humans get situated so no one gets hurt is very important
Loved this! I rescued my pup off the street 10 years ago and couldn't never figure out his breed until now! He definitely had the poo eating problem but not his own he would get the chicken poops in my backyard, he had to be watched everytime he went out, but 10 years old and he still acts like a puppy, and he's very smart (:
They do fine in small living spaces as long as they get walked twice a day. A long walk.
Do these dogs actually tend to have a problem with eating their own poop?

College marikina
mine is losing so much hair im worried
Did you say powerful and hardworking? And btw the most accurate fact (For me) is the loud deep bark.
We just lost our Anya. We rescued her at age 5 and she lived to about 15. Histiosarcoma was her Waterloo. Everything described in this video pertained to Anya 100%. She was family.
We ended up with a FCR by accident! We didn't plan for a dog and certainly wouldn't have picked this breed! We are now 5 years into owning her and we are totally obsessed with them! She's as daft as a brush but soooooo smart, she recently started searching and rescue training and she's bossing it 😊
Wow. Top facts. Love it. Ty
Relieved to see my poo eating dog is normal, not just crazy. My history of dogs has mostly been tefined rough collies so getting my flattie Hannah was like a slap in the Face 😂. Still she keeps me laughing especially when instead of running to my car to greet me she jumped on the bonnet and stood on the car roof. Maybe she is a bit mad but funny as all hell.
Our 14-year-old black flat-coated retriever (Lenny) still likes to act like a puppy, hah, and he used to jump all over people in his younger years. It is sad to see him have a harder time getting around in his old age, but he would definitely jump more if he still could. He's very kind and sociable for an 80lb dog, and he's never been aggressive with people and loves to play with strangers and other dogs. And I love the look of his feathered fur, even though it gets everywhere. He wasn't trained super well but he is still very smart and affectionate. I'm really going to miss him when we have to say goodbye soon. I would absolutely recommend getting a flat-coated retriever if you have the time and space for one, they should definitely be a more popular breed.
I had a flat coat retriever and he died fro caner and he died on July 4th which makes me in even a much deep state of depression
My pure breed Golden Retriever gives birth yesterday, 4 black and 3 gold. I am 100% sure that no other dog is involved. Really love it..
My breed for 37 years the best in loyalty and fun and trainability!
