FAQ
Flatastic focuses on breeding functional, dual-purpose Flatcoated Retrievers with a good balance of temperament and health. They prioritize maintaining the breed's working ability, health testing, and low inbreeding rates to preserve the breed's integrity.

Flatastic offers guidance on caring for and training your puppy, including scientific-based modern canine standards. They also arrange reunions for owners to socialize and share experiences.
Flatastic's dogs are known for their intelligence, enthusiasm, and strong working ability. They are bred to be fast, motivated, and capable of long days in the field, with a good balance of temperament and a well-developed anatomy for perseverance.
Flatastic uses the 7-week puppy test and observations during the nursing period to match puppies with owners. They take the matching process seriously and require honesty from potential owners to ensure a good fit.
Completing the basic training of a Flatcoated Retriever takes around 3 years. It's important not to rush the process, as pushing them too hard at a young age can lead to stress and nervousness.
Flatastic's dogs are extensively health tested, including hips, elbows, eyes, and patella. They are also DNA tested for liver and black coloration and are actively used in hunting and gun dog trials.
Flatastic will not sell puppies to homes that cannot provide sufficient activation and challenge. They believe these dogs need to use their talents and will not thrive in environments where they are not adequately stimulated.
