About the Club
The Flatcoated Retriever Club of Scotland

The Club - Hon Patron Miss E.M.C. Holmes

The Flatcoated Retriever Club of Scotland (FRCS) was formed in 1985 with the object of encouraging the well being of Flatcoated Retrievers and responsible ownership as well as working, training and showing the breed. The Club organises both Championship and Open Show each year, and provides working training as well as other events.

We are there to answer questions for and offer help to any members. We hope that whether you have just obtained your first Flatcoat puppy, your latest or if your dog is older that you will have or have had and will continue to have many years of enjoyment together.

We also hope that you will consider joining the Flatcoated Retriever Club of Scotland.

Flatcoat Rescue

To ensure the best possible outcome for all Flatcoated Retrievers across the UK who are in need of rescue, rehoming or welfare, all effort is co-ordinated through the Flatcoated Retriever Society Rescue Rehousing & Welfare Scheme.

The rescue scheme will assist any Flatcoated Retriever and its owner/breeder in confidence, whether or not they are a member of the Scottish Club or the Society.  Its objective is to place in loving, caring homes, Flatcoated Retrievers who, due to unfortunate circumstances, require rehousing, and to assist where possible with welfare matters concerning Flatcoated Retrievers. The scheme operates on its own merit and is self supporting through fund-raising and donations. 

More information and contact details can be found on the Society website - Rescue
