The occiput (the bone at the back of the skull) is not to be accentuated (as it is in setters, for example) with the head flowing smoothly into a well-arched neck. The ears are pendant, relatively small, and lie close to the head. It has almond-shaped, dark brown eyes with an intelligent, friendly expression. Its head is unique to the breed and is described as being "of one piece" with a minimal stop and a backskull of about the same length as the muzzle. The Flat-Coated Retriever has strong muscular jaws and a relatively long muzzle.
