FLAT 

 COATED 

 RETRIEVER 



Color : Rich 

 black, free from 

 rustin'ess and 

 from white. 

 There is also a 

 Golden Retriever 

 so named because 

 of the golden or 

 yellow color of 

 his coat. 



Height: 25 in. 



Weight : 68 Ibs. 



The symmetry and elegance of this dog are considerable and essential, and he has 

 a decidedly sporting character. The head should be long with the skull wide and flat 

 at the top, and slight furrow down the middle. Eyes of medium size, dark brown or 

 hazel in color with a bright intelligent and mild expression indicating a good temper. 

 The neck long and muscular, chest broad and deep with well developed and well-sprung 

 ribs. The tail should be bushy but not feathered, carried gaily but not curled over 

 the back. His coat should be fairly long, bright, close and thick, and either straight 

 or slightly waved. 



CURLY 



COATED 



RETRIEVER 



Color: Black 

 or liver, a white 

 patch on chest is 

 objectionable. 



Height : 26 in. 



Weight: 68 Ibs. 



A strong, smart dog moderately low on leg, active, lively, beaming with intelli- 

 gence and expression. The head should be long and narrow for the length, the eyes 

 should be rather large and cannot be too dark. Chest not too wide but decidedly 

 deep, back muscular and rather short with powerful loins, straight forelegs and plenty 

 of bone. The coat should be formed of small tight curls all over the body much re- 

 sembling the Astrachan.
