Curly-Coated Retriever: 100 Years in AKC

In the October Gazette, we celebrate the AKC centennial year of the Curly-Coated Retriever. In1924, a dog named Knysna Conjurer became the first Curly listed in the American Kennel Club Stud Book. The Curly-Coated Retriever Club of America, the breed’s AKC parent club, was founded in 1979. Included in the feature story is this from Anne Shinkle, our CCRC breed columnist:

“Since acquiring our first Curly-Coated Retriever in the late ’70s, I have given lots of thought to why I am so fond of this breed. David Ferguson says, ‘They are the perfect combination of sporting dog and companion dog,’ which is so true. One can take a Curly out in the field, and she will come home and settle down readily…

“This is a breed that can take advantage of many of the performance activities. My Curlies have been in tracking, agility, upland and hunt tests, all levels of obedience and rally, as well as conformation. I enjoy all these activities with mine. …

“When considering this breed, it is true that a Curly is different from other retriever breeds. They may be somewhat more reserved, and some people might mistake that for indifference. They usually do not go rushing up to strangers, but at the same time they like to meet other people and dogs if they are well socialized. David Ferguson states that one of the reasons that he switched from another retriever breed to the Curly-Coated Retriever in 1998 was that he was looking for a sporting dog that was a bit more reserved. He feels that a Curly fits that need perfectly.”

The holidays are upon us, and we know how everyone loves a clean fur friend to spend this time with. We want to insure everyone that our cleaning and disinfecting policies have remained in place since the pandemic. The health and safety of pets in our care is very important to us. As pet owners you can help as well, by making sure your babies are current on all vaccines and leaving them home if they're not feeling well. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give us at least a 24 hour notice so we have time to fill that spot. We appreciate and love you all. Happy Holidays 🥰
