An attempt was made to register the GRCV in 1966 but the Kennel Control Council the forerunner of the VCA turned this down because they did not consider there were sufficient numbers. The second attempt to register the Club a year later, in 1967, was successful.
The club provides a monthly newsletter which outlines the various activities run by the club ranging from conformation shows, tracking trials, gun dog working tests, field trials and obedience shows. The newsletter is a source of information about the breed from health issues to training and diet. You will learn about activities where you and your children can come along and be given instruction on how to show a dog and details of a children's Christmas party in December.
The Golden Retriever Club has an informative website which provides comprehensive information about the breed, results and photos of Golden Retriever Championship Shows, dates of future events and meetings.
