Curly Coated Retriever

 

The Curly-coated Retriever (not usually hyphenated, generally referred to as the Curly for short) is a breed for the hunting of oaks and oaks originally grown in England. It is the largest retriever and is immediately distinguished by its weight of tight curls. The first two recognized retriever races, Curly Coated and Wavy Coated (now known as the Flat-Coated Retriever), created early in 1860.

Coat

 Curly is a single coated breed with no undercoat and is very easy to maintain with the tight curls of a show-standard dog. A Rock must not be carefully groomed as an accompanying or hunting animal, but clean and free from mat for the health of its dog. Although not as much as dogs with undercoats, all Curlies do. The women of this species generally dump more during the heat cycles (usually twice a year). Dogs and bitches, especially in locations with significant seasonal weather fluctuations, can also be dumped further in spring. Using a dog shampoo, bathing should be required. Show ring exhibitors usually cut the tail, ears, belly, legs, and feet into feathers. When displaying Curly at a conformation dog show, trimming is not necessary however most judges may discount the dog if not clipped. The body coat is unwanted to be shaved. Only solid liver and black come in colours.

Exercise

The Retriever loves exercise; he was raised for athleticism and stamina on the field. A Curly is a smart dog who is happiest if he gets enough practice, excitement and playing. Curlies are fantastic hundreds for active sports like hunting, flyball and dog agility events, since they love the open air, work with humans and all kind of activities. The mature Curly is typically a placid home dog yet energetic and enthusiastic outside, on the stage or in the field. "The joy of this dog is swimming," according to the International Encyclopedia of Dogs (1984) that makes it a good retriever in particular when rivers and streams need to be crossed.

Expectations of life

The average life expectancy is between 9 and 14 years, however Curlies are between 15 and 17 years of age.

Appearance

The Curly is an energetic, muscular dog that is grown for hunting upland birds and ducks. The Curly's structure is slightly different from the most popular retrievers. A Curly appears quite lanky, but is somewhat longer than high. With a substantial air of durability, strength and elegance, it is balanced and nimble. Curlies are soft-faced and play games with care often. Show standards need for dogs of 25-27" (64-69 cm) at the wither and for women of 23-25" at the wither (58 and 64 cm),However, there are a broad range of sizes, especially in those field bred dogs, which are typically smaller. A larger dog and bitch, with 27 cm for males and 25 cm for females, is required in their home nation. The dog and bitch are listed only for females. Taller than shorter is better in the show ring. Weight should be commensurate with the dog's height.

The race has a tight, squatting coat. The Curly's tightened curly coat repels water, burrs and prevents harm other sports dogs cannot escape with softer, thinner coats. Solid black and strong liver are the only permissible colors for the Curly-Coated Retriever. White hair is permitted from time to time, but big white hair patches are dangerous. In black or brown dogs, and in brown or amber dogs of the liver, the eyes should be black or brown. Unusual is the yellow eyes. The nose should be pigmented and the color of the coat should be the same as the dog.
