Wavy Coated Retriever 

 

     

Look to the Flat Coated Retriever

 The Breed Mixture

 The study of the first complete pedigrees shows a constant apportionment between the three principal breeds having participated in the conception and the realisation of the: Golden Retriever   50 % Wavy-Coated Retiever **  25 % Setter Irlandais **    25 % Tweed Water Spaniel.   The second is very well known to this day, but we must not forget that during the last 150 years, this breed has itself changed, both physically and in character, taking into account the modification in the performance demanded. The other two have actually disappeared and it is very difficult to reconstitute their history and even to have an idea of their appearance. The Wavy-Coated Retriever   This dog, which is considered a direct line ancestor, without outside influence, of the Flat-Coat Retriever, presents at origin an aspect far removed from the dog of today.
