2020 and Prior
While this page focuses on the accomplishments of our Manchester Terriers, my journey with purebred dogs began in 2004 with Chinese Cresteds, and in 2006 I registered the kennel name Curlious with the Canadian Kennel Club. I welcomed my first Chinese Crested litter in 2011 and my Afghan Hound named Castle in 2013, experiences that deepened my passion for breeding, training, and showing. These early years laid the foundation for the knowledge, care, and dedication that continue to guide every litter, every training milestone, and every achievement today.
