Curly Coated Retriever Dogs for adoption in Dorset

Curly-Coated Retrievers make good pets as they are affectionate, confident, and loyal. They are intelligent and playful but can be aloof initially, needing time to warm up to people. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and behavioural issues.

Curly-Coated Retrievers were originally developed in the United Kingdom as hunting dogs, specifically for upland and waterfowl hunting. Their temperament reflects the independence and focus needed for these tasks.

No, the Curly-Coated Retriever is a distinct, established breed and not a hybrid or mix. Although related retriever breeds exist, this breed stands alone with its unique characteristics.
