Curly Coated Retrievers - Moulting and temperament information needed General Chat

A stunning breed...does anyone know whether they moult and what their temperaments are like?

Yes I had a good look at these bad boys at crufts. Moulting doesnt seemt to be much of a problem - the shedded coat tends to collect into balls, which is good. That said its not half as much as you'd expect.

Temperament is not as devoted as a standard lab - bit more aloof.

I do have the 'official' guide somewhere in my bag of goodies..can copy and paste if you like?

Thanks for that Chris...I have admired the breed for years and would appreciate any info you have

No i don't think they molt and all the ones i have met (which is only a handful) have been friendly, confident and enjoyed cuddles.

That's all the experience i can offer, sorry it's not much!

I think they look fab....first one i met was called Wiggy, which i think is a great name for a curly coat!

Thanks for that...I did think they would be scrumptious and I just love all gundog breeds for their temperaments...aww now I've gone all broody

I have heard they are absolutely off their heads...even by Flat Coat standards, that was from a couple of people who have met a few!

Thanks Ailsa..having lived and loved Setters for so long I think they sound just up my street

Thats what I thought!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have anymore info on these dogs?

I really like the look of them and have found a breeder in my area.
