As Sarah said, Curlies are more reserved than Goldens, Labs, or Flatcoats but they are very nice dogs. When it comes to retrievers, there are 3 breeds who are outgoing and love everyone (which would be the Golden, Flat-Coat, and Lab) and then there are the 3 who are friendly towards strangers but are more reserved and aren't interested in knowing absolutely everyone (Curlies, Chessies, and Tollers). I've met quite a few Curlies at dog shows and all were very nice dogs, I really liked their temperaments. Each one seemed to be very accepting, well rounded dogs. As Sarah said again, Curlies definitely need their exercise. They love to have fun and are very active dogs. They constantly have something in their mouths, I don't think I've passed any that haven't had some sort of toy in their mouth unless they were in the ring of course.
