Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This boy is 11 months old and very smart. He is house broken, loves to play fetch with the ball and also even brings it back to you. He loves to ride in cars and trucks and gets in when you tell him to. He is also crate trained now and will go into the crate when told to. He gets along with all dogs small or big and kids. He is very sweet. He would do best in a home with a large yard and even a pool if you have one so he can get in the water as this breed loves to swim. He alos loves to run, hike or jog. He needs an active owner who owns there home and can give him the life he deserves. Adoption fee is $350 that includes his Neuter, Rabies, DHLPP, Heartworm Test, Fecal Exam & Wormed, Micro chip with Home again, Groomed, Nails done, Also has been put on HW , Flea & Tick preventive while in our custody. In many ways, today’s Flat-Coat is yesterday's Golden. The breeds are so close that the Golden once competed at shows as a subgroup of Flat-Coated Retrievers.
Like the Golden, the Flat-Coat is cheerful, easy to train, and eager to please, a friend and a keen retriever of anything, especially in water. Flat-Coats are known for their puppyish enthusiasm, earning a reputation as the “Peter Pan” of dogs. If you live with a Flat-Coat, a sense of humor is not optional.
The ideal Flat-Coat is, with the exception of size (large) and shedding (lots), just about as good a family dog as it gets as long as you don’t mind a pet who loves to be wet. The breed was developed to be a working retriever, and few breeds have a higher percentage of members who serve as family dogs during the week and companion hunters on the weekend. That working heritage means a high level of activity is a must for these dogs. While many of them would probably rather hunt than do anything else, the Flat-Coat also excels at the highest level of agility and loves dock-diving (naturally!) and other active sports. People who enjoy running, hiking, and cross-country skiing will find this breed a perfect companion
