    Form and Function: The Golden Retriever Breed Standard in Action
    Jun 10 2023
    Join me for a field-connected section by section analysis of the CKC standard for the Golden Retriever. If we are to preserve the working function of the breed, judges, breeders, handlers and fanciers all need to have a view to the standard and their dogs that keeps function in mind. I also invite you to join us for breed education opportunities at the GRCC National Specialty hosted by the GRCGT August 27-30 in Stratford ON and environs. Details at grccnational.com in the Events tab.
