After over 35 years in Curlies with almost 30 of those as a breeder, I have hung it up. Anyone interested in the gory details can find them here but basically I just don't have the heart for it anymore. We currently have three CCRs, but it's anyone's guess how long Dodger will live, so most likely by the end of 2011 we will only have two. I hope the girls live good long lives, but most likely they will be my last Curlies.
I don't know where I will go then - I'd like to get another Border Collie, but I may be too old and decrepit for that breed now. I'd also like to get another Schipperke, but after decades of competing with NOBs, it would be nice to have something easier. On the other hand, easier could be boring! <G> Mudis look interesting, tho I don't know how hard it might be to find one, nevermind trying to find a performance prospect! I have a couple of years to work that out, in the meantime I need to figure out what to do with all the Curly stuff I've collected over the years. I guess donate it to the CCRCA.
