    Favorite Retriever?

    Chesapeake Bay Retriever:


    Curly-Coated Retriever:


    Flat-Coated Retriever:


    Golden Retriever:


    Field Labrador Retriever:


    Show/English Labrador Retriever:


    Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever:


    My favorite is the Field Lab, but to tell you the truth I love all of the retrieving breeds except the Curly Coat because I've never met one and I don't know anything about the breed. Plus, I don't like curly-coated dogs ... their fur is ... wierd.

    I want to own one of each (or maybe more than one ) some day ... minus the Curly-Coated unless if I fall in love with the breed, which is very possible.

    I like Goldens the best. My Golden passed away a few months ago, but I would love to adopt another

    Goldens! Used to walk my neighbour's when I was a little girl. The poor thing was neglected by her family but she still had the loveliest nature.....

    Wow, what an INCREDIBLY hard choice, I too want to own all of the retrieving breeds someday, they are my favorite group of dogs. The only one I probably wouldn't own is the English/show Labs, I really don't like them.

    I can't decide if I ever want an English/show Lab or not. They're just as sweet as Field Labs but SO much more laid back. And I like more active dogs. Plus I don't really like the stocky, block-head look.

    I'd take any of them if I ever met a pup and fell in love and could either buy or adopt at the time. But, out of the photos there, I like the flat coated retriever and the field lab. Finn's more of the American lab standard, though, so, for the sake of choosing just one, I chose the field lab in the poll. They're all incredibly beautiful dogs, though!

    That's the only reason I kinda like them! I don't really like their over outgoing personality though.

    Hehe I don't really like the any stocky breeds (not neccesarily their personality but the way they look), but there are exceptions.

    Flat coats, hands-down. I used to walk Star with a man who had a lovely rescued flat-coat who was a frisbee FIEND! *Grin* I miss her, she was a doll.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
