Cheshire Game Fair, 25 August 2024
Well done to the Curly Team at Cheshire Game Fair – Aly Clayton, Vicki Hayes with Anise, Jo McKenzie with Tuppence & Tresco, Caron Chattwood & Stuart Allmark with Shine & Rita, and Marie Gill with Mira (Tresco’s sister). They all had a great bank holiday weekend representing the breed in The World of Dogs, and meeting & greeting lots of members of the public….

Champ Shows

Driffield Championship Show, 23 August 2024
So very sad to report that due to adverse weather conditions, Driffield Champ Show had to be cancelled on Friday and for all four days. Unfortunately, there was lots of damage on the showground and damage to the marquees, thankfully this all happened early in the day and there are no reports of anyone getting hurt. It could have been a very different story had the show been in full flow, when there may have been a risk to both people and dogs…. The organisation that goes into putting on these shows is huge, and the Curly Coated Retriever Club send their best wishes to the Driffield Committee.

Devon County Show, 17 May 2024
Judge: Vickie McIlwaine
P (1,0)
1st Edworthys’ Brightmeadow Man Of Steel BP, A very promising 7-month young male, with a lovely head and kind expression, has the best of fronts and superb shoulders, he needs to tighten up on movement but that will come, moved well when settled.
PG (2,0)
1st Courtiers’ Maycourt Cover Shot, BOB, one I have admired from ringside and unfortunately left her best dress at home, 16 month old liver and oozes quality, she has the most feminine of heads and the most elegant of outlines, has the best of fronts leading into good shoulders, strong topline with correct tail set, moved well with excellent front extension and drive covering the ground well, superbly handled and shortlisted in a full group, one I will watch with interest.
2nd Perkins’ Maycourt Miss Sweetness At Tengore, another promising girl from this kennel and litter sister to the winner, carries the same qualities, equally as beautiful in head and expression, today she didn’t have the front movement of the winner.
OD (1,0)
1st Edworthys’ Maycourt Heartbreaker, 3-year-old black with a superb outline, in good coat and condition, pleasing head and expression but lacking in front and shoulders, plenty of bone with good bend of stifle, moved ok.
OB (2,1abs)
1st Courtiers’ Maycourt Take Me To The Top, RBOB, litter sister to PG winner, another who was out of coat, however; oozes in quality like her sister, super feminine head and kind expression, good front and shoulders with neat feet, moved with reach and drive, just preferred outline of the bob winner, a credit to the breeder.
