Caring for a Curly-Coated Retriever

Health

As a deep-chested breed, Curlies carry meaningful bloat risk. They're also prone to hip dysplasia, exercise-induced collapse, and cataracts.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active, working-retriever energy level, with meals split to help reduce bloat risk.

Grooming

The tight, curly coat is naturally water-repellent and needs only occasional grooming — avoid brushing, which can loosen the curl pattern; hand-shaping when wet works better.

Training

Intelligent and independent-minded, Curlies do best with consistent, engaging training and substantial daily exercise given genuine working-retriever energy.

About the breed

The tallest of the retriever breeds and one of the oldest, distinguished by a mass of tight curls covering the body, originally bred for upland bird and waterfowl hunting.

Confident and a bit independent compared to other retrievers, Curlies are soft-mouthed, careful game handlers with genuine versatility in the field.
