Temperamento
Curly-Coated Retrievers are known for their friendly and intelligent personalities, making them excellent family pets. They are energetic and require regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically stimulated, thriving in active households. While they are generally good with children and other pets, their independent nature means they can also be quite playful and mischievous at times, requiring consistent training and socialization.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Curly-Coated Retriever is generally a healthy breed but is prone to some genetic health conditions. Common issues include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), which can lead to vision problems. Regular screening for these conditions is recommended, especially for breeding dogs. Additionally, this breed may be susceptible to bloat (gastric torsion), a life-threatening condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. Routine veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential preventive measures. Their lifespan typically ranges from 10 to 12 years, and proactive care can help maximize their quality of life.
