The Best In Show Winning Ch. Fairway Its My Party (Rebel to his friends...) is owned and loved by Frank and Susan Chow of Temecula, California. He is their very first show dog and has made the show ring an exciting adventure for them. Rebel finished his championship at 20 months of age completely handled by novice owner Susan. After taking time off for field training, Rebel began his specials career with his handler Mary Dukes and there has been no looking back. In just over a year, Rebel has garnered an impressive record with two All Breed Best In Shows, Nine Sporting Group Firsts (in extremely tough West Coast Sporting groups) and a total of 42 Group Placements.
Rebel is the first and only Curly in US history to have been awarded a Best In Show and an AKC Hunting title. He is also the first and only Curly in US History to have earned a spot among the Nations Top Twenty* Sporting Dogs for three months in a row.
Rebel not only loves to show but he loves to do the job for which he was bred. He has earned his AKC Junior Hunter Title, NAHRA Started Title and the Curly Coated Retriever National Clubs field title of WCX. During 2001 while starting his show career, Rebel managed to find the time to earn these field titles that led to him tying for the year-end Curly Coated Retriever Club of America Field Trophy for 2001. This was the same year he won his first All Breed Best In Show.
When his show career winds down, Rebel will be back in the field, training for his AKC Senior Hunter title.
All of those involved with this special dog would like to take this opportunity to thank both his legion of fans as well as the many judges for their recognition of this dog in particular and most importantly the curly coated retriever breed.
