The Flat-Coated Retriever is fairly intelligent, ranked 18th, proving it is very smart. Retrievers are not dumb, needing to fetch and track with loyalty and obedience, so training is not hard.
They have strong self-care, stable temperament, and handsome looks, but very high energy, so consider suburban or rural keeping.
