Thread: curly coated retrievers

There a duck shooter out by ellesmere , always had them I'll ask him . Seen his work over wallabys and it hunted well enough . I'll ask Wendy (GSP breeder) she seems to be fair on judgements of dogs / breeders etc . Pm tonight with any info

Can't recall their name. But they wouldn't let me sight the mother and my bitch has been disappointing to say the least. A family pet but no hunting dog except she isn't gun-shy. I've had a CC/lab X and he was was awesome.

There was also a fellow john something out burnham way (vaguely) and I think you either loved or hated how he managed his kennels and dogs.

I had a Curlie and she was Bloody awesome on both Upland Game and Ducks.

She worked well for my old man on deer too.

I got her off Colin James in Waipukarau in 1984.

Would love to have another dog just like her too.

Haven't seen a Curly Coat for Bloody years but have heard (unconfirmed) that there's a good hunting line in Wairoa.

Maybe @Toby could shed some light on this.

Good Luck with your search and let us know how you get on.

Cheers
Pete

@Toby they look like a lab with a perm Even the fact that mine was a softie , looking back he must have retrieved a lot of ducks for me . He just didn't have any hunt drive

looks like he lived up to the retriever bit mind.
