Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Gorchest Kennel located in Thurmont, MD. We care deeply about the Curly-Coated Retriever and breed to help ensure the health and future of these wonderful dogs. It is important to us not only that we preserve our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come.
