Firecurl Curly Coated Retrievers

Our Firecurl litter was born on 29.12.08

Mum is 

Willow

Aspenwood Asperation at Kelsmere

Dad is 

Sh Ch Pepperiever Star Anise

We were lucky to have eight beautiful pups, at just a few hours old, 4 boys & 4 girls all liver.

The pups were named after characters from the Jeeves & Wooster books by P.G Wodehouse in honour of my first Curly Gus whose pet name was Gussie Fink-Nottle.

All the pups are now in wonderful new homes & this is a follow up of their progress.

Purple Girl became Firecurl Bobbie Wickham - Teasel & lives with us causing mayhem & madness around us!

Teasel now has her own web page.

Scuba still lives close by with  friends of mine Wendy & Richard & has become best friends with the other Curly in the household Padi

 

 

 

Raspberry Girl became Firecurl Myrtle Snap - Acer

 

Acer has gone to live with her Dad - Star & Auntie Cedar & is adored by her new family Vicki & Janet.

Everyones favourite Lilac Girl became Firecurl Dahlia Travers & is still called Lilac!

According to her new owners Robert, Charlotte & Carey  

Lilac isn't as angelic as she looks and is nicknamed Crocodile but they love her all the same!

 

 

Yellow boy became Firecurl Chuffy Chuffnell - Tucker

Tucker is having the time of his life in The Netherlands where he now lives with Ans & Bert  & another Curly called Skarre.

Tucker  - 5 months old on holiday with his family.

                Tucker at 7 months old - he's turned into the spitting image of his mother!

Pink girl became Firecurl Agetha Gregson - Tilly

Tilley is destined to be an agility Curly like her mother & lives in beautiful Derbyshire with Richard & Gill and another curly called Jim.

Tilly already showing potential with her agility training!

                                             And at 8 months old

Green Boy became Firecurl Reginald Jeeves - Silas

Silas is outnumbered by cats in his new home with Bess & Mark but we understand he is showing them great respect

Silas now 7 months - Silas came to see his brother, sisters & Mum at the CLA Game Fair, he's a beautiful boy & huge......  Pity about that tail but we made Bess see the error of her ways & I hope she's been out with her scissors since?????

Silas has now gone to live with Heather, Brian & Katie a black Curly Coat in lovely Lancashire, no longer a landlubber he's enjoying a life cruising the canals in his very own narrow boat

The Firecurl pups celebrated their 1St Birthday on 29th Dec 2009.

A very Happy Birthday to all of them!

We had a party for Teasel, Scuba & Acer as we were having a Curly get together at one of our favourite locations Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, at the party we of course had mum - Willow & uncle George, also Padi, Uncle Bob, Rannoch & their smaller friends Jessica, Isobel, Molly & Abbey.  We had a Party cake, made of liver with a cream cheese icing, mutt loaf, waggy tail cheese straws and it went on, thanks to a doggie goody book I was given at Christmas, all dogs gathered in the awning & not a cross word between them despite the goodies on offer!!

Below all the Curlies at the Hunting Tower above Chatsworth House working up an appetite for the party!
