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 Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
