A community dedicated to this extraordinary breed.

The Flat Coated Retriever Association of Victoria Established in 1976


Patrons of the FCRAV and founding members Peter and Helen Eley 

About Us
The Flatcoated Retriever Association of Victoria (FCRAV) was officially formed on 11th November 1976 after considerable effort by a combined working party consisting of Flat Coated Retriever and Curly Coated Retriever owners. 

Affiliation was achieved with the Kennel Control Council of Victoria, now known as the Victorian Canine Association in the same year.  
Several of the original 1976 Committee still serve.  
The Association was incorporated in July 1992.

The FCRAV is the only club representing the breed in Australia.  Our members are comprised of Conformation exhibitors, Obedience and Agility Trial Athletes, Retrieving Trial Competitors, Scent work and other competitions.
 
Many of our members do not compete but provide a staunch support group of individuals and families who own a cherished pet and family companion the Flat Coated Retriever.

Dogs Australia and Dogs Victoria maintain a national code of practice for hereditary diseases. This code requires all potential breeding Flat Coated Retrievers to be assessed for glaucoma, and for hip and elbow dysplasia.

The Flat Coated Retriever Association of Victoria (FCRAV) fully supports the current ANKC program.

The Flatcoated Retriever was developed in England in the late eighteenth century. The advancements in shot guns created the need for an efficient dog to work with shooters and to retrieve their dead or wounded game. To develop a dog to meet their requirements they experimented with the crossing of different breeds.

In it's early days the breed was known as the "Wavy-Coated Retriever" a combination of many breeds. The task of refining lines to produce the Flat Coated Retriever was undertaken by Mr. Evelyn Shirley, a sportsman who, in 1873 was also the founder of the Kennel Club of England. 

Many books allude to a variety of breeds being used for the foundation of the breed, these include Setters, sheep dogs and even a mention of a Borzoi cross being used. Also referred to in the origins of the breed are references to the St. Johns Water dog and the Lesser Labrador or the small Newfoundland.

After the end of World War 2 the breed numbers declined. Breeding stock was lost over the war and newer breeds requiring less coat care started to win favour with the shooters of the day. The Flatcoat remained the choice of Gamekeepers.

In Australia, the breed was slow to appear. Records show that a dog named Esmonian Unity, born 1st November 1928 was owned by a gentlemen who lived in St Kilda, Victoria. Their real emergence was in 1974 when Robert and Faye Pargetter imported Stonemeade Shandygaff and Stonemeade Fine Lace. 

In1975, Mrs. Dorothy Sutch imported Stonemeade Wild Rose. Litters were bred from both bitches in 1975 and thus the story began.

Vanrose Black Jewel arrived on the scene from New Zealand in 1975 and another import from England, Dudwell Zenith of Downstream joined the group. Other imports to the country included Vanrose Black Knight, Vanrose Black Beauty, Vanrose Black Pearl, and Vanrose Black Seal.

In the 1980's, more animals arrived from England, Stonemeade Hamish and Bramatha Copper Narelle (1st liver coloured Flatcoat into the country) and from New Zealand, Dunboy Flight O Fancy and Copsewood Nigra. In 1984, Roglands Night Raider arrived from England and in 1985 Branchalwood Kyle entered the scene.

In September,1991, after quite a long break between imports two Flat Coats arrived in quarantine at the same time. Helen and Peter Eley took possession of Branchalwood. Jean and Ross Bryant, based in Adelaide and breeders under the Sherepoint prefix. Rina was - Casuarina Black Pearl - imported became Aust Ch Casuarina Black Pearl NRD.

Numbers and the gene pool increased in January 1993, when Bushman Kennels, owned by Peter and Coral Kennon and Judy Kennon-Wray imported a dog, Almanza Never Think Twice and a bitch, Almanza Better Than Ever from Sweden.

Bushman Kennels have imported several more dogs from Sweden since the original two, as well as one from England. 

In September 1999, Jean and Ross Bryant, imported a bitch, Braemist May Queen (Suki) from England.

In 2002, Helen and Peter Eley, breeders under the "Kellick" prefix imported a dog from Sweden. Black Mica's Totally Truant.

In January 2003, Jean and Ross Bryant again imported from England, this time a Dog: Branchalwood Portleathan.

The Flat Coated Retriever a medium sized dog. The preferred height for dogs (male) is 58-61cm. Bitches are normally a little smaller and more feminine in looks, their preferred height is 56-59cm. To go with these measurements a well proportioned and reasonably fit Flatcoat should weigh somewhere between 25-35kg for dogs and the bitches between 25-34kg.

The Flat Coated Retriever has been described as the Canine Peter Pan. He never grows up and is always ready for fun and play even when advanced in years. It is kind, sociable and loving animal, because of this is trustworthy with children. Supervision should be undertaken with small children particularly with a young puppy, however, supervision is recommended at all times with young children and dogs.

A Flat Coated Retriever will bark if someone is around, but it is not a guard dog.

He is firstly a companion, always requiring and sometimes demanding to be in the company of owner/s. He craves for human company. He is not a one man dog, it generously shares his/her affection albeit the family or the neighbours.

Most Flatcoats are compatible with other pets depending on the pet. Most will live in harmony with cats if they are trained to do so.

The average life span of a Flat Coated Retriever is approximately 11 years.


EXERCISE, GROOMING & FEEDING.
EXERCISE: Every dog benefits from a daily walk, swim or run, however, can survive if it only gets out approximately 3 times a week, but more often is the better option.

GROOMING: The coat is long, therefore a brush once a week would ensure a healthy coat some minor trimming especially around the feet and ears make him look tidier.

FEEDING: Feeding costs will vary depending on the activity level of the dog and the personal requirements of the owner. Most Flatcoats will thrive on any complete diet and your own Veterinary practitioner can advise you or refer your questions to the breeder.


PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
A Flat Coat is not the sort of dog that can be totally happy without human companionship, this is why it is not suited to large breeding kennels, as it needs individual attention. It is at his happiest when he is interacting with his owner, he likes to be part of the action, even if that is just laying at his owners feet.

Normal secure fencing is required for this breed, as with most dogs these days he has no road sense with the large volume of traffic.


IDEAL OWNER/S
An active person who is prepared to have the dog around him be it in the house, garden, to take him for walks, runs and swims. It is well suited for the family with children over 7 years, younger children may be knocked over due to it’s exuberance when a puppy. Most breeders prefer to sell to families with children of the age who can be taught not to harm the puppy.






Hip and elbow dysplasia are two relatively common conditions that can affect the skeleton of the dog. The word dysplasia means ‘abnormal growth or development’ of the hip joint - a ball and socket type joint - leading to disfunction and pain. 
                                         X-ray of Hip Dysplasia 

Ebow dysplasia refers to a number ofdifferent conditions that affect the three bones that form the elbow joint. These changes may occur alone or in combination, but the result is the same - a joint that does not function properly.
                                     X-ray of Elbow Dysplasia

 Both hip and elbow dysplasia can be painful and over time, can lead to increased wear of the joint surfaces, the development of osteoarthritis, and a reduced range of movement.

Because dysplasia relates to abnormal growth anddevelopment, symptoms are most commonly seen in young, growing animals - usually dogs under 12 months of age - with varying degrees of lameness, pain, or reluctance to exercise. 

Some animals with abnormal joint development may not have any obvious symptoms or display signs of pain or reduced movement until later in life when arthritis develops in the joint.

Diagnosis is confirmed by an x-ray of the affected joint or joints. Specific positions are used to evaluate both the hips and elbows by x-ray.  Sedation may be required.

Your veterinarian will be looking at the shape and fit of the joint, as well as for signs of arthritis developing within the joint.

Dysplasia is thought to have several contributing factors with the biggest risk factor being genetics.This genetic ‘potential’ for dysplasia can be further exacerbated by poor/unbalanced nutrition, over-feeding and obesity, rapid weight gain and growth, and early joint stress caused by certain types of exercise.

All Breeding Flat Coated Retrievers should have current Hip/Elbow and Eye Certificates. 
Hip and Elbow Dysplasia is a polygenic hereditary disease affecting many breeds of dogs. The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) operates a scheme under which hip and elbow x-rays are taken and grading assessed. 

Acceptable hips for breeding are those assessed as within the breed average.  The Current Australian National Kennel Club  - 
Average over 48 Flat Coats  4.88  -  Median 4.00
Flat Coated Retriever4.884.0048


FCRAV - Requirements
The Association encourages breeders to breed for better hips and elbows.
All breeding Flat Coated Retrievers should have Certificates for Hip & Elbow Dysplasia and Eye Certificates. 






Canine Goniodysgenesis is one of two primary forms of glaucoma that describe a condition where the fluid in the eye does not drain properly. Immediate treatment is necessary to avoid the onset of glaucoma and vision loss. Options for treatment include medications and surgery. 
Currently, it cannot be detected by DNA testing.

There is an eye exam that looks for signs that the eye has been affected by a painful and blinding disease known as primary glaucoma or Goniodysgenesis. How much the eye is infected is given as a grade.

All breeding dogs should have a current eye certificate.

My first Flat Coat arrived in 1984 and although Tara was not a show dog, she taught me how wonderful the temperament of this breed is.

1993 saw the arrival of Inji into my life and the introduction to the conformation and breeding world. Her first litter produced Tali, my first male. Inji and Tali (hence the kennel name) were a delight to live with and were my first two show champions.

1998 Elly (Ch Kellick Carn Of Cailiche CCD) arrived and was my foundation bitch. Her first litter produced Jy (Ch Injitali In The Black CD). 

In 2004 Elly's second litter saw the arrival of Baloo (Gr Ch Injitali Intrigue CCD RN).

Baloo's first litter produced Booker who is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Sir Bouncealot. Extremely naughty and highly intelligent. Best dog ever when I need a cuddle.

2011 saw the arrival of Baloo's second litter and I kept two pups. Seeker is now Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Intriguing Secret. Tiger is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Intriguing Tale.

2017 Seeker produced Lani (Ch Injitali Treasure Seeker). I call Lani "The Apprentice" as she delights in copying and watching Uncle Booker's clever and naughty antics.

3 Dual Grand Champions was not something I thought I would ever do when I first started with Flat Coats. So proud of them all.

Our dogs are active in the hobby of Retrieving Trialing.
As the breed is a Gun dog and was originally bred for retrieving  game when man lived off the land.  Here at Kellick we continue to stimulate this instinct in our dogs by competing in Retrieving trials of which is an assimilation of duck shoot using dead pigeons as the game.  Our dogs enjoy this hobby as it is in their blueprint to retrieve.

I'm a small kennel situated in beautiful Bellbrae on Surfcoast of Victoria. 

My kennel name is KOACÚ pronounced (koa-coo). Koa is Maori for happy, joyful. And CÚ is old Gaelic for dog. HAPPY JOYFUL DOG is exactly how I would describe the Flat Coated Retriever. I've had a life long love for Flat Coated Retrievers as my parents have owned them for 40+ years. 

I was so grateful to add, CH. ARANGOLD LABOUR OF LOVE (IMP NZL) aka Moo to our family in March 2021. Thanks to Margaret Hean of Arangold Retrievers NZ. I have taken courses in Dog Behavioural Training, and Pup and Young Dog development. 

I'm passionate about the health and genetics of dogs. I have a knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities, and the work required raising a litter of pups throughout those crucial early developmental weeks. I plan to use my training to produce the healthiest, happiest, most confident and well-tempered puppies I can. 

Moo has passed all her health checks, with a great hip/elbow score, clear eye certificate including Gonioscopy, and a clear EMBARK genetic health check, testing for over 250 genetic markers.

Mine are happy to run themselves silly and if you add water even better - they are not full time lounge dogs. A smart breed that loves to please - so well suited to training - and a must - if you are considering a flat coat.

All Registered Flat Coated Retrievers have to be health tested for breeding - Hip Scored - Elbow Scored - Eye Checks are paramount for any breeding. All my dogs have lower than the breed average scores.

I have brought many new lines into Australia by Importing from other countries with the help of Breeders from Sweden Austria Germany UK NZ and USA such is my passion for the breed to continue in Australia.

Aust Ch Copsewood Nigra (Imp NZ)   “Nicky”  1981 – 1989Nicky was in his day an exceptional Flatcoat and achieved great feats in the show ring for what was then very much a minority breed. Nicky was bred in New Zealand by Doreen and Bill Ridley from 2 imported English Flatcoats and was the only dog produced from the mating. He was born in March of 1981 and came to Australia in May of that year. He achieved his Australian Championship on the 27th April 1982.

Nicky to his day is the only Flatcoated Retriever to win Best In Show at an all breeds Championship Show. He also won 5 Best In Groups at All Breeds Championship shows, 2 Best In Show at Open shows, 4 Runner Up to Best In Group at All Breeds Championship shows, a number of Class in Groups at all types of shows and 5 Royal Show challenges. He had a total of 709 challenge points many of which were 6 point challenges and often went on to higher awards when he was the only Flatcoat at the show.

Nicky did much to put Flatcoats on the map in the Show ring but he also produced working Flatcoats of exceptional quality one of which was a Field Trial Champion not to mention other Flatcoats who excelled in the Obedience ring. Most importantly Nicky was my mate and will never be forgotten by me or those many people who enjoyed a great dog throughout an all too short life.

Dam: Ch Kellick Coreen Carn

Ch Kellick Finders Keepers (Jack) has had a successful show career despite being the most fidgety dog whilst being examined by a judge, that I have ever owned. He has the advantage in the group lineup of virtually stacking himself, and he stands with his tail wagging and head up saying “Look at me”.  He was shown very sparingly the first year that I owned him as I was completing my Masters degree at the time, and that had to take priority over dog shows.  Despite this, his challenge points mounted up aided by a Best in Group at 14 months of age. He has also had two Runner Up to Best In Group at Championship shows and one at Open show.  He has been a consistent Class in Group winner in the junior, intermediate and open classes.  He has won Best Puppy in show and Intermediate in Show at Gundog Club shows.  He has been awarded 71 Best of Breed awards at Championship shows, including this year’s Royal National in Launceston.  He gained his 500th point at Burnie Agricultural Society show on October 3 1998.  As he is not yet four years of age, I intend to continue showing him in pursuit of the next big milestone, the title of Grand Champion.

Clear Eye Certificate (free of PRA & Glaucoma) Hips: 4-2 = 6
Chanda was the only pup in the litter, hence her name. She was a very busy, bustling bitch, who always gave her all - whether it was in the showring, in retrieving, or just as a family pet playing with our grandchildren. Chanda had two litters for Sherepoint, both small litters, and after a family crisis in 2001 she went to live with Julee Hosking in Victoria, and produced a litter of nine pups. We are forever grateful to Julee and Mike for giving her such a wonderful home.
She was the first flatcoat in South Australia to win In Group awards and pioneered the way for flatcoats to be considered for further awards. These are some of her achievements.
• Top Showing Gundog Puppy in the Gundog Club of SA Inc 1996 – first & only flatcoat to win this award
• Runner Up in Group at All Breeds Championship Show in 1997

Bred/Owned: Bushman Kennels      Handled: Jazmyn Wray

‘Cinder’ was a winner from her first steps into the show ring.  She won at group and in show level from Baby puppy right through to date.  She is a very stylish bitch with a very enthusiastic show attitude. Cinder’s only downfall was being hidden in her dam’s and litter brother’s shadow for many years.  One of the highlights of Cinder’s career was winning Runner Up to Best in Show at the Victorian Gundog Championship Show in 1998 under an international judge.  Cinder is a multiple Best in Group, Runner Up to Best In Group, Class in Group and in Show winner all at All Breeds Championship Show level.  Cinder has won Challenge Certificates at Royal Shows. Jazmyn Wray (3rd Generation Bushman handler) campaigned Cinder through over 600 points of her Grand Champion title, finishing in stlye with a Best in Group and Australian Bred in Show in September 2002.  Jazmyn was only 10 years old.
Cinder’s first litter was to a half brother, Bushman Tempted To Talk.  This litter resulted in just two living bitches, one of whom is the very successful Gr Ch Bushman Talk About Lucky.
Cinder’s second litter to Lussac Moody Blue (Imp UK) produced puppies who have been sent to New Zealand, Norway and have been kept by Bushman.

Hips: 0-0 Clear Eye Certificate: (Clear of PRA & Glaucoma)
"Max" was our biggest winning dog – his father was an English dog imported by Bushman Kennels – Lussac Moody Blue – his mother our own Chanda. The following are his achievements:
• Max had won over 600 challenge points before his fourth birthday and was the sire of six champions, for three different kennels - this together with his show wins – is an unequalled record in South Australia.
• Top Showing Interstate Dog in 2000 for the Flat Coated Retriever Assoc of Vic, 2nd in 1999 & 2001
• the first male SA flatcoat to gain membership of the Association’s 500 Club
• Reserve Challenge Dog at both Adelaide and Melbourne Royal Shows in 2000 at only 2 years old
• Runner Up in Group three times at All Breeds Championship Shows in quality competition
• Dog Challenge winner at the Sunbury Championship Show in Vic in 2000 under a Swedish judge
• Challenge Dog winner under Breed Specialist Brenda Phillips (Exclyst) in Sydney in 2001
• He was well on his way to probably becoming South Australia’s first Grand Champion Flat Coat – however that was not to be. Sadly the family he lived with had him de-sexed just before his fourth birthday – "Max" was a “incurable romantic” with both bitches and dogs, and the male dogs didn’t like his advances. From his last six shows he took out four Best of Breeds and one dog challenge. Our thanks to Mary and Denis Safe for allowing us to show Max. Fortunately we were able to have a frozen semen AI litter from "Max" in 2002 which produced two Champions from a litter of five pups.

Baloo had her Australian Champion title by the age of 15 months and had collected 12 class in group awards and 4 class in show awards by that stage. Around that time, my older dogs explained they were jaded with the show ring so we concentrated on obedience. Baloo was too young (and too naughty) for such a serious discipline so we returned to the show ring where she won more class in group and class in show awards. Her first litter was born in 2008, one of whom is showing and has over 400 challenge points at the age of 2. Towards the end of 2008, we returned to the show ring and Baloo gained her Grand Champion title in 2009 at age 5. In 2010 Baloo completed her first obedience title and started her tracking career. With minimal training and her inexperienced owner handicapping her all the way, Baloo managed to complete the first 4 title tracks and was awarded her Tracking Dog title.
