Curry is pick girl from the first litter Tango sired. She comes all the way from
Broadway Kennels in Minneapolis, MN - where her dad Tango spent
several months. Curry's name is actually short for Currington - she
was named after country singer Billy Currington. And yes, she does
like to sing! Billy is aware that I named a female puppy after him - I
met him in Ohio in 2005, and was able to "fill him in" LOL he found it
slightly amusing but did think she was very cute!
We are very excited by Curry's potential. She has lovely balance
and angulation, tons of reach and drive, beautiful white markings and a fantastic personality
to go with it! She is a sweet, loving girl who is very playful, energetic and outgoing,
with lots of enthusiasm for swimming and retrieving. She's a good-sized girl
with moderate bone, she is 18 5/8" tall and weighs 33 lbs.
July/05 was her showing debut - she was on "summer vacation" with Simone Sortwell/Tollchester
Kennels in Mission, BC. In her
first show weekend (at the Sporting Dog Spectacular in BC) she won a
Reserve Winners on the Friday, and Best Puppy in Breed at the Sporting
Dog Club of BC specialty on the Sunday.
Curry returned home to Tollwest after the US
National, where she won the 9-12 month female class in both the
specialty and sweepstakes. She took a hiatus from the ring while going
through a gangly teenager stage, but recently made a trip back into
the ring, where she easily finished her Championship, winning a 4 pt
Best of Breed (over 3 specials!) the first day, a 3 pt Best of Winners
the second day, and another 3 pt Best Of Winners the third day! She
also played one day in the brace competition, partnered with her
half-brother Kaos, and they went all they way to win Best Brace in
Show over several other very nice braces!


We look forward to showing her in the US down
the road. She has had some light training towards a CD & rally, and
we are back at the training again. She passed her CGN (Canine Good
Neighbor) test with flying colors in August/07.
Curry is OFA Hips Good, OFA Elbows Normal, OFA
Patellas Normal, OFA Cardiac Normal. Her eyes are CERF Normal, Optigen
PRA Clear and CEA/CH Clear. Her OFA thyroid results are pending.
Her first litter (to BPIG Ch Pikkinokka's Stormtide
Barnaby CGC) was born August 14/2006, we have 3 boys & 2 girls, all
very flashy with lots of white. We kept a wonderful boy "Billy" from
this litter, and he proved his worth in the show ring at a very young
age, winning a Best Puppy In Group his third day in the ring, and
finishing his Ch the 4th day in the ring, at 7 months old! Billy is
now living in Vancouver WA to with his new co-owner, watch for him in
the US rings!
Curry's second litter was born March 25/07,
bred to BIS Am Ch Fionavar
JavaHill Topgun Am/Can CD, Am/Can WC - "Maverick" was the #1 Toller in the
USA for 2006. We have some lovely puppies in this litter, and are
looking forward to their debut in the show and performance rings!
For Curry's 3rd litter, we bred her to Ch Tollwest's Wild Blue Yonder CGN.
We had a lovely litter of 7 puppies, and looking forward to seeing a
boy and a girl from this litter in the show rings.
Upon weaning her third litter, Curry went to
go live with her new owner Trisha Shanks, who also owns Topaz &
Splash. Trisha plans to breed Curry next year.

Curry was born and raised on BARF, with both her parents also being
BARF born & raised!
