 The Breed Standard is a description of the ideal representative of a specific breed of dog and is written by The Kennel Club's standards Committee. Below is their Breed Standard for the Flatcoated Retriever:
General Appearance: An active, bright medium sized dog showing an intelligent expression. Power without lumber and raciness without weediness.
Characteristics: Optimistic and friendly; full of enthusiasm - demonstrated by the tail wagging (the only breed standard to mention this!)
Temperament: Confident and kind.
Head and Skull: A long and nicely rounded head with a flat skull that is broad, but with a slight stop between the eyes. A good-sized nose with open nostrils. Jaws are long and strong.
Eyes: Medium sized round prominent eyes of dark brown/hazel colour with an intelligent expression.
 Ears: Close to the side of the head and well set.
Mouth: Strong jaws with perfect, regular and complete scissor bite (upper teeth closely overlap the lower teeth and square to the jaws). Teeth are sound and strong.
Neck: Head is well set in the neck, long and free from throatiness. Symmetrically set and obliquely placed in the shoulders which runs well into the back.
  Whilst my four legged companion sat beside me I wrote a book which tells the story of The Grey Lady Ghost of the Cambridge Military Hospital which reveals her origins in the QAIMNS and where she meets a QA veteran of Afghanistan. She still walks her wards and tells her story by taking Scott Grey, a QARANC nurse, to the battlefields of World War One and beyond. This is the first in the series of Grey and Scarlet Novels by CG Buswell. Read the first chapter for free.
