"The Peter Pan of Dogs" Flat- Coated Retriever "As a family companion he is sensible, alert and highly intelligent; a lighthearted, affectionate and
adaptable friend. He retains these qualities as well as his youthfully good-humored outlook on
life into old age. The adult Flat-Coat is usually an adequate alarm dog to give warning, but is a
good-natured, optimistic dog, basically inclined to be friendly to all.
The Flat-Coat is a cheerful, devoted companion who requires and appreciates living with and
interacting as a member of his family. To reach full potential in any endeavor he absolutely must
have a strong personal bond and affectionate individual attention.
Disqualification: Yellow, cream or any color other than black or liver."- AKC Breed Standard
