D_mentias Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 After some hard work by a number or people the Murray River Curly Coated Retriever has been admitted to the Sporting Register by the ANKC. There will be a lot more work to be done but we are quite excited by this! Now we have an Aussie retriever! murraycurly.weebly.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSoSwift Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Congratulations - I hope the MCCR goes all the way to full ANKC breed recognition. Their webpage says they are not intersted from what I can see. Wonder what these little guys would be like at dog sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_mentias Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 We have Murrays that take part in agility and tracking. Many died in the wool hunters believe they are a great all round dog as they will point and retrieve and track. UNderstandably at this stage they have not taken part in official trials. The Association's web page should updated, it was the ring many of the early members were not interested in but this may change so eventually members will have a choice. At least with Sporting recognition councils who demand dogs must be de-sexed unless they are a member of their breed body cannot now demand member's Murray be de-sexed.

D_mentias Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Rebane there is quite a lot of difference. The Murray is almost always liver. It is smaller than a CCR and traditionally been used to retrieve duck from punts. Check out http://murraycurly.weebly.com/ for a fuller description and history. WE have traced Murray like dogs to the 1840s in Australia and have photographic evidence back as far as the 1860s demonstrating they pre-date CCRs here.
