Curly Coated Retriever Dog Breed Temperament, Health Issues, Grooming and Living Conditions
- 01/11/2010
Temperament: This breed is easy to get along with and is an excellent all-round hunting dog. The Curly-coated Retriever needs to have full obedience training, to gain the best from the breed. They are slow to mature, taking about three years. This dog needs a firm confident consistent leader; which will bring out the best in their temperament. This dog is excellent with children.
The Curly coated retriever is affectionate and loving. This breed requires mental and physical exercise, as it is a bright dog with a lot of energy. If this breed is socialized well, with people and other pets from a very early age, they are usually fine. The breed adores swimming. This is a good dog for an outdoor or active person or family.
Health issues: This dog is prone to hip dysplasia, epilepsy and eye problems. As with all dog breeds you should make sure your puppy or dog is up to date on all vaccinations, de-wormings and heart worm preventatives. This includes at least yearly check ups at your local vet.
Grooming: The Curly Coated Retriever is easy to care for, and does not need brushing or combing, as this will only result in a frizzy coat. This dog will need some scissoring to keep it tidy. The only time brushing is needed is when they are seasonally shedding.
Living conditions: This is a breed that is not recommended for apartment life. They require a large garden. This dog has lots of energy to release, but indoors, if the right amount of exercise is given can be a calm companion indoors.
