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 Curly 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 Curly with games of fetch especially
in the water.
