Curly-Coated Retriever
Curly-Coated Retrievers (60-95 pounds) are confident, intelligent, and energetic, ideal for active families. They’re great with kids when socialized but may be too robust for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, swimming or fetch) is essential; their curly coat needs occasional brushing.
Feed 3-4 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula, with 26% protein for joint health and energy. Control portions to prevent obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or sedentary owners.
Training curbs independence. Perfect for outdoorsy households, Curlies thrive with water activities, not for urban or low-energy lifestyles.
