What kind of coat does a Curly-Coated Retriever have?

Curly-Coated Retrievers have a distinctive single-layered coat characterized by tight, dense curls that form a protective layer. The curls are water-resistant, helping to keep the dog from becoming waterlogged while swimming and providing insulation against cold weather. The coat is generally short to medium in length, lying close to the body. This helps reduce drag in the water when they are retrieving.
