Flat-Coats are one of the breeds that seem to keep their puppy-like joie de vivre well into adulthood. While many people have probably asked if your Flat-Coat was a black/liver Golden (uh, no, that's why they are named GOLDENS), they are a breed unto their own. Bred to be a versatile hunting dog for both land and water, their desire to please makes them a delightful companion. But you already know that!
Your Flat-Coat's nose gathers all the info they need to make good dog decisions. When your Flat-Coat's nose is healthy the moist nose leather snags the info-packed scents that float by. Those scents are categorized and filed away by the scent chambers and your Flat-Coat's Google within his nose keeps him in the know. A moist, healthy nose is a must for your Flat-Coat!
