Welcome to my MARKABLE Curly Coated Retriever website

History, Development and Character

There are strong arguments to suggest that the curly was the first dog selectively bred to be used as a retriever in England. Since the late 18th and early 19th Century, dogs comparable to the Curly in size and coat type, are evident in sporting prints. Curlies have been used to pick up game at the end of the days shoot.The Curlies determination and ability to find game were greatly admired.

The curly was also used to warn off poachers illegally on the estate. This has developed a dog that is unlikely to bark unnecessarily but who will announce strangers or sound the alarm if anything is wrong. Poachers discovered the temperament of the Curly was suitable for their requirement of a quiet Retriever to assist in appropriating game from the estates. 

The curly is an intelligent and steady dog that is sociable and self-confident if well socialized while growing up. Compared to other retriever breeds it may seem aloof.
