CVGRC is a member club of the Golden Retriever Club of America and is licensed by the American Kennel Club. Our Members are golden retriever owners, breeders, exhibitors, trainers, and judges. The majority of our members are located in north and central Ohio and suburban Cleveland and Akron areas. While most of our members are located in Ohio, we do have members all over Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Indiana. Together, we sponsor club activities that range from educational to competitive to down-right fun! CVGRC also publishes a newsletter, sponsors this website, has a Facebook page, and holds bi-monthly membership and board meetings.
Our major events include a Hunt test and regional Specialty (with Greater Pittsburgh Golden Retriever Club) in June, multiple Agility trials per year, and WC/WCX test in the September. In addition, we hold regular CCAs (Certificate of Conformation Assessment), CGC (Canine Good Citizen) testing, attend Pet Expos, host multiple Health Clinics, hold special seminars, have holiday parties and picnics! We also hosted the Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA) National Specialty September 1-14th, 2022.
Next Meeting:
October 11th,12th,13th Agility Trial CAPS
November 11th,12th, 13th Agility Trial, Pinnacle Dog Sports, Westlake, OH Karen Groth will act as agility chair for this event, and has some fun things planned! We need to have 5 club members at the site during the trial hours all 3 days. We have a core committee, but it is a lot to ask anyone to work for 3 days. Any short slot of time for a few hours on one or all 3 days will be greatly appreciated and help this run smoothly. Even if you don’t run agility, any assistance is appreciated… and you will get lunch! Depending on volunteers from the competitors, you may not be needed to complete any tasks, but your presence is still needed. We are the sponsoring club, so we need to be available.
