The Active Curly-Coated Retriever
We have bred dogs that compete in agility, obedience, tracking, dock jumping, rally, conformation and field. We have been active with our curlies as Therapy Dogs. We participate in 4-H, school and scouting demonstrations.

I enjoy having fun with my dogs. I also enjoy letting them just lay around doing nothing. Laying around doing nothing often leads to a dog occupying himself. Sometimes they become destructive!

Curlies are an active, intelligent breed. Giving them a "job" to do makes them better members of the family. Having a dog sport you and your curly can do together strengthens the bond between you. The Curly Coated Retriever is a dog that can excel at many jobs. 

A Curly that lives in the house, has regular exercise and work, including any type of work that takes advantage of the breeds innate intelligence, and is a part of the family is a happy Curly. The most important care and training of a Curly is involving him in the family's day to day activities. Include your Curly in your every day life and he will repay you with years of friendship.
