About Us

CuteCurl Retrievers are a small family dedicated to the ethical breeding and promotion of Curly Coated Retrievers. We only have a litter every couple of years (primarily to increase our Curly family) and improve the breed. All breeding dogs are hip/ elbow scored, DNA tested, and eye tested. We do not repeat matings until at least 12 months to see how the pups have developed in that time (and of course to make sure mum has fully recovered). All breeding dogs have obtained their Australian Champion title in conformation showing under both local and international judges to ensure they meet the breed standard. All our pups are sold with lifetime breeder support.

Dogs have different personalities and we participate in activities that suit them including conformation showing, agility and obedience. The physical and mental health of our dogs is the most important thing to us. Curlies are highly intelligent dogs that love to be with their families. Proper mental stimulation and training is essential to owning a happy dog.

We’ve owned Curlies for over 20 years now having owned other large breed dogs in the past. Curlies are excellent watchdogs with a strong deep bark and a loyal devotion to their family.

Our dogs spend most of their days lounging on the balcony or swimming in the dam. They are always happy to play games or just relax in front of the TV... whatever their owners feel like doing at the time.

We live on 5 acres with our dogs and 2 horses. Our pups are well socialised and we bring them up in a home environment with exposure to appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, TV, etc. Dogs from our previous litters live with a variety of families from working retrievers; families with small children; a sole companion for an older person (70+ lady); and competition – show and water retrieving.. they live in a variety of homes from an apartment in Tokyo to acreage on the Mornington Peninsula and western Queensland. Bella also does regular nursing home visits and is much admired for her affectionate and patient personality (not to mention those beautiful curls :)). 

If you are in Melbourne/ Victoria we also run monthly Social Curly Walks (the second Saturday of the month) in Warrandyte where owners can get together and share their Curly Experiences.
