Curly World Seminar 2026
This week the Curly Coated Retriever Club of Denmark made the following announcement:
‘The wait is finally over!
We’re thrilled to announce that Curly World Seminar 2026 will take place at First Camp Hasmark Strand Resort on northern Funen, Denmark.
The resort offers excellent conference facilities, plenty of space, and is located close to the field trial area we’ll be using during the event.
There are also lots of activities for the whole family, making CWS 2026 the perfect opportunity to combine an exciting seminar with a wonderful family holiday.
Important:
You cannot book cabins or camping spots directly via the resort’s website.
To reserve accommodation, please contact the resort by email or phone and provide a special booking code, as all cabins are reserved for CWS-26.
You can find more information on our website: www.cws2026.dk
Thank you so much for your patience – we look forward to seeing you in August 2026!’

A big shout out to Caroline Penistone of CAST Dog Training for once again hosting this event for a third year to remember Ozzy the Cocker Spaniel and to raise funds for the Pet Blood Bank.

8 Curly Coated Retrievers
7 Spaniels
5 Labradors & Lab crosses
4 Golden Retrievers
2 Non Gundogs – a Border Collie and a Boxer.
Caroline said the Curlies were the largest entry… we laughed, that never happens, does it….
Results for the Curlies were:
1 Sorrel – Firecurl Ace – Jo Clayton
2 Basil – Firecurl Maxim – Wendy Tarelli/Caroline Penistone
3 Glory – Curlies On Wings Crossroad Glory – Shirley Buchanan
