Sarah Shulls Rhino came home with a Master Pass.

And My little Qwik came home with another Senior ribbon and her first Master pass!
Everyone else that ran did a great job. None of the tests were gimmies and if you didn't make it through you were in good company!! Great to have so many curlies entered!!!
Everyone who helped plan and organize this test did a great job. All the workers were FREAKIN AWESOME! Having to work in the rain was NOT always fun.....The curlies got alot of fans this weekend! I know I was asked if my dog could be pet a few times. All the spectators took notice when a curly ran and rooted for them. No Labradoodle comments this weekend!!! :-)
I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to Facebook if you are on there check them out. They are mainly from Master but I know Laura Bauer took a bunch of Junior too! (Link)
We'll have a few more photos available here, and hopefully others will forward photos, and (hint), someone will provide a complete story for those of us sad we weren't able to attend. Congratulations to all the entrants,you are all winners to have participated in this big step in our club's history.
The
Curly-Coated Retriever
This smartly upstanding,
multi-purpose hunting retriever is recognized by most canine historians as one of the oldest of the retrieving breeds. The Curly is wickedly smart and highly trainable. This active, intelligent dog is a charming and gentle family companion and a determined, durable hunter.
The CCRCA, chartered in 1979, is the national parent club for the breed. The club publishes the Curly Commentator, a bi-monthly newletter, sponsors a National Specialty, and supports the placement of Curlies needing good homes through Curly rescue. The CCRCA encourages the development of the natural retrieving abilities of the breed through its working certificate program and annual field trophy award. Curlies with notable achievements receive permanent recognition as members of the Hall of Fame, while the Register of Merit honors dogs whose progeny have earned titles in conformation, performance and field events.
Our 2012 National Specialty "Curlies Rock In Cleveland" will be held September 11-14th, at the Embassy Suites, Beachwood, Ohio (OK, near Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!)
The 2011 National Specialty was held in Alabaster, Alabama, April 4-8 with supported shows following on April 9th and 10th. For more information, including preliminary results, or to order videos, please click here!
