Meet the Curlies: “Xena” Ch Cutecurl Mary Shelley 🖤

Xena may look every bit the strong, powerful Curly — but make no mistake… she is far more princess than warrior. Regal, opinionated, and entirely convinced that humans exist to meet her needs, Xena rules her world with quiet confidence and an unmistakable sense of entitlement 😅

And honestly? We wouldn’t have her any other way.

🖤 Presence with a Side of Royalty

Xena has a beautiful presence — calm, confident, and elegant — whether she’s in the ring or surveying her domain at home. She moves with purpose and carries herself like she knows she’s special (because she absolutely does).

In the show ring, she has achieved some wonderful results, including Runner up Best of Breed at the Sydney Royal, and Reserve Bitch Challenge, Best Gaited, and Best Dam and Progeny at the Curly Specialty Show — accolades that reflect both her quality and the consistency she brings to her offspring.

🖤 Couch Queen

At home, Xena’s true personality shines. She firmly believes the couch is hers, sleeping in a way that suggests maximum comfort is a basic right. Humans, of course, are expected to work around her — and possibly provide snacks.

Living with Xena often feels like being permanently on probation 😅. She watches. She judges. She remembers. And just when you think the boundaries are clear… she quietly finds a way around them.

🐾 Softness Beneath the Attitude

For all her confidence (and occasional rule-bending), Xena has the kindest heart. She is gentle, affectionate, and wonderfully soft — especially when she chooses to snuggle.

Those moments — the quiet cuddles, the warmth, the trust — make everything else completely worth it.

🖤 A True Cutecurl Character

Xena is clever, strong-willed, and impossible to contain — in every sense of the word. She challenges us, keeps us on our toes, and reminds us that Curlies are thinkers as much as they are athletes.

She may be a princess at heart, but she is also deeply loving, deeply loyal, and very much part of the fabric of our lives.

✨ Xena — couch queen, quiet ruler, and one-of-a-kind Curly.
