About the breed
The Curly-coated Retriever (sometimes stylized as Curly Coated Retriever, and often called the Curly for short) is a breed of dog originally bred in England for upland bird and waterfowl hunting. It is the tallest of the retrievers and is easily distinguishable by the mass of tight curls covering its body. Curly Coated and Wavy Coated (now known as the Flat-Coated Retriever) were the first two recognised retriever breeds, established as early as 1860.— English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0
