The six retriever breeds
The retrievers of our time are no longer just used for hunting. The good properties on which their usefulness for hunting is based also make them particularly suitable for a number of other tasks.
The proverbial “will to please” (the desire to please your guide) makes training easier. Retriever owners should be aware, however, that their dog was bred for an active life full of tasks, and therefore also enable the "family only dog" to receive a retriever-friendly training. Retrievers will thank you with the full expression of their wonderful natures.
At the FCI, the breed standards of 6 retriever breeds are maintained and directed at exhibitions within FCI group VIII, retrieving, rummaging and water dogs.
