Curly-coated Retriever

Created to retrieve game from land or water, the Curly-Coated Retriever dog breed was popular with English gamekeepers, hunters, and poachers alike. Today they compete in such dog sports as field trials, agility, obedience, and flyball and have found use as therapy dogs, drug sniffing dogs, and search and rescue dogs.

When they’re not working or competing, they’ll love to lie beside their favorite person and getting a nice back scratch.
