A little about the Flat-Coated Retriever
The Flat-Coated Retriever is a handsome dog with a sweet personality. As one of the original bird dogs, they need a large amount of exercise and love to play. Incredibly devoted to their family, they are most well known for their wagging tail and companionship.
FLAT-COATED RETRIEVER HEALTH INFORMATION
The Flat-Coated Retriever is a beautifully natured dog but unfortunately is prone to a number of diseases. These include orthopaedic conditions (Canine Hip Dysplasia and Luxating Patellas), eye conditions (Entropian, Glaucoma) and some cancers (osteosarcoma, malignant histiocytosis, haemangiosarcoma, lymphosarcoma, fibrosarcoma). Whilst cancer cannot be tested for, breeding dogs can be screened for hip and patella disease.
