Betacoil Curly Coated Retrievers

While Hubble didn’t earn any points this week at the 2023 CCRCA National, he did place fourth in Open Dogs in an absolutely stunning line up on 09/29. Thank you judge Mr. Sydney L Marx for the placement and recognition of my boy!

All the dogs at this year’s National Specialty and supported entry shows were incredible examples of our breed. It warms my heart to see such quality ❤️ All the up and coming puppies are so lovely, and with such stiff competition I am proud of Hubble for placing at all. Congratulations to all the breeders and owners on your amazing animals!

On top of showing, Hubble worked as my service dog the entire week. Both he and Lark set the bar for service dogs everywhere with their exceptional behavior. I was hurting pretty bad due to my thoracic outlet syndrome and other conditions, and Hubble handled tasking and working like a champ. I’d love to highlight all the good work Mr. Hubbs did for me. Here are some photos we snapped during the trip. No action shots, but most of a service dog’s work is being unobtrusive in public. Enjoy seeing Hubble, who is a large male, fitting in tiny spaces 😂

We attended the 2023 Curly Coated Retriever Club of America’s National Specialty. To say we are proud is an understatement — we are ecstatic! Lark showed her heart out 5 days in a row on top of working full time this week as Layni Beal’s service dog. For a young dog who is not quite 2 years old, she exceeded our expectations. She handled 6 flights to and back, including a 7 hour layover as we missed our connecting flight. Lark was steady, willing, and showed maturity far beyond her years.

On top of all of this, Lark got Reserve Winner’s [Female] at the Specialty!!! This is her first major, earning her three points. Thank you to judge Ms. Linda Robey for recognizing our girl in a line up of absolutely stunning girls. ❤️

Thank you to Layni for putting the time, effort, and training into Lark. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to Kari Holcomb with Stoic Gun Dogs And Skull Works for placing this lovely girl in our homes. All the puppies in this litter are beautiful. We are so happy to have a Bee and Henry daughter in our lives.

RBIS International CH Stoic’s Take On Me CGCA CGCU TKI

Last weekend Lark and Layni attended IABCA’s 2023 Golden State Summer Sieger International Dog Show. They’re an awesome venue because they specifically judge the dogs against the breed standard, and exhibitors get a written evaluation from the judge. Lark showed her heart out! She got a Group 3, two Group 2 wins, and on the final day got a Group 1. Lark then went on to win a RBIS at only just over 1.5 years old! We are so proud of her — what an incredibly special moment. 💖

We couldn’t possibly be happier with her written evaluations, posted below. Lark is continuing to mature so nicely. Our little girl sure is growing up. ❤️ Lark is now:

Thank you to Layni Beal for co-owning, keeping, and showing this amazing girl. It’s such a pleasure.

Thank you to Kari Holcomb with Stoic Gun Dogs And Skull Works for entrusting us with one of your puppies. We all love Lark so much, and are so excited to see just how far she can go.

Wow. What an incredible weekend we had. ❤️ Lark and Layni came out to Mount Ogden Kennel Club’s show to have fun, practice, and so we could earn a few points. It was so nice having Lark back at the house, and the reunion between Hubble and Lark was so sweet.

I couldn’t be more proud of little Lark! For her first show ever, she handled herself so well and had so much fun! She got to go in the owner handled group ring and regular group Sunday after winning BOBOH and BOB, respectively. Wow! What an accomplishment! It was so much fun seeing her competing against all of the other sporting breeds.

Lark:

Thursday ❤️🤍 Best Opposite 🤍❤️
Saturday ❤️ BOBOH ❤️
Sunday 💜💛 BOB 💛💜

Hubble also did so well!!!

Thursday 💜💛❤️BOB and BOBOH ❤️💛💜
Saturday 💜💛 BOB 💛💜
Sunday ❤️🤍 Best Opposite 🤍❤️

And Saturday he made the cut for the group as well, which was incredibly exciting!!! I was so proud of him. He looked awesome and showed his heart out!

Altogether a fun weekend, and it was so cool to see all my dogs in the ring 😂

Thank you so much to Layni Beal for driving out! Thank you so much for handling Hubble and Lark. Hubble has chosen you, and I am excited to see where you two go in the ring.

Thank you so much to Ava Hata for handling both dogs!!! It means so much to me, and you do such a beautiful job!

Thank you to Kari Holcomb for Lark ❤️ You gave us a stunning girl who is only getting better as she grows up. She is such a kickass dog who always gives 400%. Everyone who meets her loves her! She is the perfect breed ambassador as well.

Thank you to everyone at the Mount Ogden Kennel Club and all of the judges for such an awesome show. Everything ran smoothly, and it was a relaxing and fun experience.
