Breed Representation
Seven Curlies represented the breed in The World of Dogs at the Burghley Game and Country Fair this weekend. Jo & Brett with Fennel, Hebe & Clover, Wendy & Richard with Deco & Nox, and Caron & Stuart with Shine & Rita, were on the stall for the two day show. It was a lovely weekend, both the venue and the weather were fabulous, and best of all they met some really lovely people who were fascinated to meet the dogs and hear all about Curlies.

Gundog Training
The Building Confidence in Retrieving training, arranged by CCRC Working Co-ordinator, Lesley Eden, took place on Saturday, at The Stanks, near Welland. The trainer was Gamekeeper, Hadyn Ebrey. There were five Curlies in attendance, Sarah & Duke, Heather & Beau, Aly & Monty, Nick & Megan, and Lesley & Inka.
Lesley said, after a welcome, there was a warm up exercise across open parkland of varying lengths as each dog was enabled to progress and succeed. Next a hunting exercise in woodland, the dummies were thoughtfully placed where pheasants hide off the ground, as the CCR is air scenting, it was lovely to see them work. Finally water retrieves across the pond and a cool down. Just lovely to be out with like minded people and kind folks who wanted fellow handlers and dogs to succeed.
