How to join the club

  1. Go to the GRCGSL website.
  2. Look for the Membership section or the Join the Club link.
  3. Follow the instructions there to start the membership process.

The site lists Membership as a main area, and the homepage includes a "Join the Club" call to action, so those are the entry points to use.

What the club offers once you're involved

GRCGSL describes itself as a not-for-profit organization established in 1975 and a member club of the Golden Retriever Club of America. Its stated mission is to promote the Golden Retriever breed through educating the public. Areas of interest listed on the site include:

  • Conformation
  • Obedience
  • Rally
  • Dock Diving
  • Fast CAT
  • Agility

These are the activity areas the club names, which can help you decide whether the club matches your interests before attending or joining.

Breeder referral

If your reason for contacting the club is finding or buying a Golden Retriever, the site provides a breeder referral contact:

The club directs questions about finding or buying a Golden Retriever to these members.

Before you go

  • Confirm the meeting date and location on the website, since the published schedule may be updated.
  • Note that there is no meeting in December, July, or August.
  • If you only want breeder information, you can use the referral contacts instead of attending a meeting.

Common questions

Can I just show up? The club publishes its meeting time and location, so attending a scheduled meeting is the stated way to take part. Check the site first in case of changes.

Is there a meeting every month? No — meetings are skipped in December, July, and August.

Who do I contact about buying a puppy? Use the breeder referral contacts listed above rather than the general meeting information.
