Flat Coated Retriever
I met a new dog in the park on the weekend. A Flat Coated Retriever. It is related to the St. John's Water dog which is the ancestor of the Newfoundland, the Labs and the Golden Retriever as well. A mighty fine pedigree. She was a very sweet dog. She has a bearish head somewhere between a Lab and a Newf. Such good temper and a nice long coat. in brief, I want one.

A beautiful dog and a very fun breed - I have two myself!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Flatcoats are lovely, friendly dogs. Their only flaw as a breed is their tendency to die young from cancer - few of them even make it to 10. Heartbreaking.
