There are several different retriever breeds, all with different coat types.
Labrador retrievers only come in one coat type (but three colors): and that is the short, double coat you'll see when you google pictures.
There is also a completely separate breed of dog called a Flat Coat retriever that has a longer, more flowing coat.
I think the confusion is that you said one dog was a flat coat lab, which isn't really terminology associated with the breed. All labs have the same coat type.
