Flat-Coated Retriever
Flat-Coated Retrievers (60-70 pounds) are cheerful, energetic, and friendly, ideal for active families. They’re great with kids but may be too exuberant for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, swimming or fetch) is crucial; their medium coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 2-3 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 boisterousness. Perfect for outdoorsy households, Flat-Coats thrive with water activities and engagement, not for urban or low-energy lifestyles.
