Can Maple be the Top Dog in Our Area?


Our local newspaper is running a Hot Dog contest. Recently there was a Paws in the Park event in town and the newspaper took pics of approx 230 dogs. From those 230 they selected the top 100 to appear in the paper and are asking people to vote for the top dog.

Maple is #087 on the voting page here

Maple is the only Murray River Curly Coated Retriever in the top 100.

Here is the actual webpage of her newspaper portrait.

Maple would be very happy if you voted for her as it will help raise awareness of the breed in our area.

If she were to win, Maple will donate the prize money to the founding of a formal MRCCR Club with an open register and stud book to help ensure the health of future MRCCR generations.

All voters are in the running to win $200.00 - so what are you waiting for? VOTE NOW! for dog # 087 !!!

Bird Dog & Obedience training & other stuff.


Maple today was discovered munching on a small bird. We did not see her nab it. It could have been dead when she found it.


I have been taking Maple to obedience training. She is learning to walk on the lead without pulling and listens to me when she feels like it. Bored mum is the one she listens to I guess it has to do with her being around more than me. The pup is almost a year old now.

As you can see from the pic she loves water. But she still lets the other dog go and retrieve when they are together. Her swimming has gotten much better over the sumer.

Hello, Hello, is There Anybody Still Out There?

It's been a while. A very long while. Lost passwords can be quite difficult to retrieve.

But keep watching this space as there will be more Maple blogging very soon.
