Welcome to Curlious!

I am Katherine Barnett, and I live alongside my crew of four-legged friends in the heart of uptown Toronto. Like many Canadians, I have been involved with the sport of Curling for over twenty years. It's because of this love for the game that I formed my kennel name, which is registered with the CKC.

I am a member in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club, as well as the secretary, editor and webmaster for the Chinese Crested Club of Canada. I'm also a member of the North York Obedience Club, and help with training classes and the yearly all-breed Obedience trials.

A Note on testing

We believe the only way to be sure we aren't passing along hereditary defects is to test for them. Anyone who says "We don't have a problem in this breed/line/country" is in denial of the very clear facts that surround us. Prior to breeding, our dogs are screened for eyes (yearly CERF, DNA-based testing for PLL and prcd-PRA), hearing (BAER), patellas (OFA), hips & Elbows (OVC), thyroid (OFA) and hearts (OFA). We will gladly supply proof of these tests upon request.
