A rotating trophy, the CCRCA Best Bred-By Exhibitor Trophy shall be awarded to the Curly-Coated Retriever who wins Best Bred-By Exhibitor at the CCRCA National Specialty.
The trophy was sponsored and commissioned by Kari Swarztrauber in memory of Madge, Tephra Amulet of Summerwind. “She was the first CCR I bred under the Tephra name. At her first National Specialty, she won the Bred by Exhibitor class. She was best known for her perpetually thick curly-coat that never lapsed even after the birth of a large litter, as well as for her elegant head and great substance. She was the finest brood bitch and she had a total of 36 healthy pups in three litters. So impressive was her health and vitality that I thought she would live forever, but she died suddenly at the age of five from GDV or bloat”. - Kari Swarztrauber
