The Golden Retriever Club of BC

The Golden Retriever Club of British Columbia (GRCBC) promotes the Golden Retriever in British Columbia and encourages our members to develop the highest standards of excellence for the breed. 

The Club also assists in developing the interests of all Golden Retriever owners.  The Golden Retriever as a breed is versatile in many activities including field trials, hunting tests, obedience trials, conformation shows, tracking tests, agility, flyball, and search and rescue.  The temperament and intelligence of the breed also makes them a good choice for use as guide dogs and assistance dogs.

The Club's active goals include encouraging positive public relations and educational programs for both our membership and the general public.

If you are looking for a Golden Retriever, please look at the Owning a Golden Retriever article. As well, there are many other web sites with valuable information. Just ask Mr. Google.
