Janean Marti

Janean Marti lives with her husband and six Curly Coated Retrievers in northern Wisconsin. For more than three decades, her Curlies have hunted pheasant, waterfowl, grouse, and woodcock in six states. Janean was a founding member of the Curly Coated Retriever Club of America, was chairman of the committee that wrote the current American Kennel Club conformation standard for the breed, and also was the first Judges’ Education Coordinator for the club. Bred primarily for hunting, temperament, and health, Curly Coats bred under her prefix “Ptarmigan” have produced some of the all-time top field and show Curlies in U.S. history.
