The Curly Coated Retriever is a retriever breed that was bred in England for upland bird and waterfowl hunting. It is the tallest retriever breed, and is distinguishable by the tight curls that cover its body. The coat is waterproof and comes in solid black or solid liver variations; it is a single coat with no undercoat. With its balanced and agile frame, the Curly Coated Retriever is tenacious, strong, and graceful. The breed is lively and fun-loving, but it can be aloof with strangers; and as it was bred for athleticism, it needs adequate exercise and mental stimulation.
Curly-Coated Retrievers have a withers height between 23"-27" (58-69 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 50-90 lb (23-41 kg). The Curly-Coated Retriever has an overall body length of roughly 33”-39” (84-99 cm), standing height between 29”-34” (74-86 cm), and a typical lifespan of 9-14 years.
