To keep the real Flatcoated Retriever character alive in our present day dogs, it is important to know if the Flatcoated Retriever is able to do the work he has originally been bred for.

 Willing to please, his intelligence, his sociability towards other dogs and his trainability make the Flatcoat a keen, friendly and obedient dog. 

 This makes him a wonderful companion, also for people who don't have the opportunity to work him but still like a Flatcoat because of his breed specific characteristics. It is such a pleasant sight to see your dog enjoying the work he's enjoys the most.
