We see ourselves as conservators of this fine old British breed. In this day of designer dogs, that are bred only for money, our dogs are bred to meet the requirements set out in our breed standard including biddability and desire to work. We are passionate about our dogs as a fine pure breed. We breed quality not quantity. At DueNorth we strive to produce dogs with hunting and retrieving ability and the structure that they need to do that job. We want our dogs to be first and foremost the best all round family pet. We prove our dogs in the field, obedience and in tracking as well as in the show ring in an ongoing effort to produce the best dogs that we can. We strongly encourage all pet owners to seek a sport that they can enjoy with their Flat-Coated Retriever. We are proud members of the Canadian Kennel Club, The Flat-Coated Retriever Society of Canada, The Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America and others. Pat is an obedience instructor and an evaluator for the Canine Good Neighbour program. Located in the heart of the Kawartha Lakes we are about 150 kms northeast of Toronto and about 35 kms from Peterborough, Ontario, near Lakefield.
