We got our first flatcoat in 2000. When considering a breed for us, our oldest son said he wanted a pretty dog. Our second son said he wanted a dog who would play catch. My husband didn’t want a froo-froo dog, our daughter wanted a dog who would swim with her, and I wanted a dog that wouldn’t pull on the leash. Consulting a book called The Right Dog for You, we decided on flatcoats. It was the right choice for us.
