Curly-coated Retriever
Sporting Breed
Sever and Ripple and a Pup with a Duck Soft Maple Curlies
The Curly-coated Retriever is a great companion for the outdoors man looking for a fine and loyal friend. They are good with children and other pets, but may be too big for the very small child. They need to be a part of the family’s daily activity. Fairly easy to train in a firm but calm manner. Socialize the Curlie from puppyhood and it will do well with strangers. Probably not a good apartment dog as they will do the best in a very rural area where they can roam and swim. Challenge the Curlie with games of fetch especially in the water. Give it an occasional dry brushing.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue — be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
