Summary
About Curly Coated Retriever
The Curly Coated Retriever is an athletic, medium‑large gundog with a dense, waterproof curly coat in black or liver. Intelligent, independent, loyal and reserved with strangers, it needs substantial daily exercise, thoughtful training, and moderate, curl‑specific grooming.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
