WIth its origins in England, the Curly Coated Retriever is one of the oldest retriever breeds.  Through its indomitable spirit and willingness to work in inhospitable conditions, the curly has earned a special place in the hearts of dedicated hunters of small game and birds.  This fearless dog will not hesitate to penetrate the thickest brush and brave the coldest waters to retrieve the bag.
