All Dog Breeds >>Appearance of Curly Coated Retriever
The Curly is an active, well-muscled dog bred for upland bird and waterfowl hunting. The Curly is somewhat different in structure than the more common retrievers. A well-bred Curly will appear slightly leggy but is actually slightly longer than tall. The breed sports a coat of tight, crisp curls. It is balanced and agile with a significant air of endurance, strength, and grace.
Curly Coated Retriever Training
The Curly-Coated Retriever is moderately easy to train. He learns new commands at the average rate. He is neither difficult nor easy to train.
Curly Coated Retriever Shedding
The Curly-Coated Retriever sheds a fair amount of hair. You'll find hair stuck to your couch, carpets, clothes and everything else in your home.
Curly Coated Retriever Grooming
The short coat of the Curly-Coated Retriever only requires an occasional brushing. But because he sheds you may find yourself brushing him once or twice a week to remove loose hair. (What you get out with a brush doesn't fall out in your home!)
