According to the specialists, Curly Coated Retrievers have ancestors as diverse as Large Rough Water Dogs, Tweed Water Spaniels, Lesser Newfoundlands, Irish Water Spaniels and a whole bunch of continental breeds, including Wetterhouns from the Netherlands, Barbets and Poodles from France, plus many more.
Intelligent, balanced, reliable, brave, friendly, self-assured and independent: seven adjectives to describe the character of Curly Coated Retrievers, which, by the way, are rather aloof with strangers. These water dogs are sadly very rare.

Curly Coated Retrievers are strong, well built dogs that do not lack a certain degree of elegance. As both the biggest and the rarest of the British retrievers, they have a characteristic coat said to come from two of its alleged ancestors, the Irish Water Spaniel and the Poodle. However, contrary to the other members of its family, the origins of Curly Coated Retrievers are unknown. First shown in the mid 19th century, they were one of the first land and water retrievers in Britain, but they were soon overtaken in popularity by other members of the family.
