#2. "The head is long with a fairly flat skull."
#3. "The large nose is black on black dogs and brown on liver dogs."
#4. "The teeth meet in a scissors or level bite."
#5. "The medium sized eyes are almond shaped and can be dark brown, or hazel."
#6. "The well feathered ears are relatively small compared to the size of the head, hanging to the sides."
#7. "The chest is deep and wide and the back is short and square."
#8. "The strong feet are round."
#9. "The medium length, thick, fine coat lays flat to the body and comes in solid black, or a solid liver, with well-feathered legs, tail and chest."
#10. "The Flat-Coated Retriever is excellent with children and a great family dog, with a reliable temperament."
#11. "Friendly, sweet and high-spirited, they love everyone, even strangers."
#12. "They have a puppy-like attitude and always appear to be in good spirits."
#13. "They love to play and retrieve, and with enough exercise they will be quiet indoors, saving the activity for the outside."
