Meet the Breed

Ch. Pizzazz Hocus Pocus, WCQ, SH, UWCX, RN – 2016 National Specialty, RWB and Best Puppy

We believe in breeding healthy, sound and well-tempered Curly-Coated Retrievers. We keep puppies from time to time to understand and improve our breeding animals. This philosophy gives us the ability to judge temperament, health and trainability over years of living with the animals we breed. We strive for the multi-purpose dog using our breed standard, preserving the desire to hunt and keeping a well-tempered dog that can be your best friend and companion.

In 1987 I purchased my first Curly-Coated Retriever from a local breeder. Their intelligence and unique look drew me to the breed. I became involved in show and performance and expanded my devotion to the National Breed Club as the Division Director and later the President. I worked to increase breed awareness and education while promoting good health in our breed. Most recently I have jumped in with both feet training the dogs in the sport they love, hunt tests. I believe this breed, although still somewhat rare, is one of the most family oriented, dual purposed, healthy dogs that I have enjoyed being around. I enjoy the breed immensely and have devoted my life to supporting and improving the breed.
