The Hudson Valley Golden Retriever Club was established several decades ago by a group of dedicated golden retriever fanciers. Today, HVGRC is a member club of the Golden Retriever Club of America and is licensed by the American Kennel Club. HVGRC's eighty members are golden retriever owners, breeders, exhibitors, trainers, and judges. Together, they sponsor club activites that range from educational to competitive to down-right fun. HVGRC also publishes a newsletter, sponsors this website and maintains a listserv to keep its membership informed.

Membership Information

HVGRC is always looking for golden fanciers who would like to become active members who are involved in the club. If you are interested in joining the HVGRC, you will need to attend two general meetings in a calendar year. For more information, contact our Membership Chairperson.
