Kevin Curran

I have shown dogs since 1992 both in obedience and conformation. I have finished three CD's, a CDX, two draft titles and an RE on three Bernese Mountain Dogs during that time. All three were nationally ranked among Bernese when they obtained their titles and placed multiple times in all breed shows. My current Berner, Gatsby, finished his Championship last year and has gone on to finish his RE and NDD this year. He is working on his CDX and his advanced draft titles.

My Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Ruby, has a CDX, a RAE and two HIT's and is training for her UD. My Golden Retriever, Cinnamon completed her CD and RN with multiple placements this year after taking time off to have a beautiful litter with CH. Tempo's Easy Rider last summer.

All my dogs are active in Animal Assisted Therapy with Therapet and I serve as that foundation's Medical Director. I also serve on the Grants Review Committee for the AKC Canine Health Foundation.

I began training and showing dogs in 1983 and fell in love with the sport. Since then I have put over 30 Obedience and Rally titles on a variety of breeds including 8 High In Trials (HIT'S) & 2 Dog World Awards.

In the Spring of 2008 my golden retriever, Aida, was inducted into the Texas Animal Hall of Fame by the Texas Veterinary Medical Association for her work in therapy.

I continue to enjoy showing in obedience, rally, and carting as often as I can with my Berner, Whisper (Nashems Dream a Little Dream RAE, CD, CGC, DD) and my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cheers (CH. Ca-Cambridge Run for the Roses RN, CGC). My newest dog in training is Lazy Paw's Fudge Ripple, a Golden Retriever Puppy. "Ripple" has begun obedience training as well as showing in conformation. At her first show, the Dallas/Fort Worth Golden Retriever Specialty she won her puppy class. I look forward to training her this year and hope to have her ready to show in obedience soon.

I am also the Executive Director of the Therapet Foundation. I love to watch my students train their dogs to become Therapets and work in hospitals and rehabilitation centers throughout East Texas.
