Beatrice and I first met as she was delivered into this world into my hands. I whelped her litter as well as several other Curly Coated Retriever litters.  The dam of Beatrice's litter, of 14, developed mastitis and I ended up spending more time caring for this litter.  Needless to say, I became infatuated with the breed.

Having more experience with other retriever breeds, especially Labradors, I didn't know what nuances this CCR would bring. 

Walden Farm is the name of a self-sufficient farm my Grandfather once managed outside Oshkosh, WI.  Even though my inspirational Grandfather is gone and few artifacts remain, the girls and I frequent the barn and hike the surrounding acreage.
