A Purebred dog
A purebred dog is one that has been produced from the mating between two dogs from the same registered breed. In Canada, each purebred puppy is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) who also keeps records of ancestors (pedigree). Any dog you buy without a certificate from the CKC is by all mean a mutt, including the popular 'Doodles', and the classification 'purebred' can't be applied. Instead of spending hundreds or thousands on a mutt, you might as well go to your local rescue center and adopt a lovely dog there.
Flat-coated Retriever
This unique breed was developed in England in the mid-1800's. It's a very popular hunting dog in Europe, but almost unknown here in North America. It has maintained its reputation as dual-purpose retriever over the years and Knightcastle is always keeping that in mind. The breed is also almost intact if you compare it from the original one. The flat-coated retriever is the perfect dog to have outside or in the house, playing with you or with children. It is a devoted family companion, a versatile working dog, outgoing and it won't let you down.
The Peter Pan effect
The flat-coated retriever is a bright, active dog of medium size with an intelligent expression. Exuberant, confident, outgoing and generously endowed with natural gundog ability, optimism and friendliness demonstrated by enthusiastic tail action. The Flat-Coated Retriever is a "natural" breed and enjoys partaking in "natural" activities such as rolling in feces, playing in mud, and digging. It is also a slow maturing dog, as they do not reach full maturity until generally 3 to 5 years of age. It's nickname in UK where it was created: Peter Pan!
