The tight curly hair of curly-coated retrievers comes in either black or liver color. These dogs have simple grooming needs; most need an occasional bath using mild dog shampoo and water.

Curly-coated retrievers are smart. They were originally bred to be used as working dogs. They can be quite stubborn and a bit naughty, thus they will need a firm and consistent alpha leader to keep them disciplined and well-behaved. These dogs will benefit from lots of physical activity and mental stimulation every single day, without which, they can easily get bored and develop undesirable behavior. They love to go on long, energetic walks or romps in the dog park. They also love to swim and will enjoy time in the river or lake. These dogs make ideal pets for people who are outdoorsy types and have active lives.
