one of the rarest Dog Breeds is the flat-coated retriever it is a common ancestor of the golden retriever. The difference is it comes in liver(brown) and black. Another difference is they weight slightly less than the golden but are a bit taller. Also their faces are similar but have a slightly different shape to them. They are very affectionate and loyal pets. If you have a claustrophobic problem than i would not suggest getting one because they do not understand personal space. The lifespan is 11-13 years.they are perfect for family's of any size because they will love everyone and are always egor to please. If you have a newborn or an elderly person in you household the flat-coated retriever will Be perfect. they are very easy to train and love water. Never let them loose off a leash unless you have trained them because they love to follow interesting scents. The black flat coats are usually healthier because liver(brown) flat coats tend to have bone problems. Flat coats also tend to shed. Over all flat-coated retrievers are very good pets and very rare.
