Invitation to Membership
We welcome all who choose to own, love and care for Golden Retrievers – with interests ranging from pet companionship to responsible breeding, training and competition – and who share our regard and concern for this wonderful breed. If you own or plan to own a Golden and are interested in learning more about caring for, training, showing or just plain enjoying your dog, we invite you to consider joining our club.

All memberships receive basic club privileges: Participation in all meetings and events, Subscription to Golden Tales, Club directory listing, assisting in club activities and eligibility for Club awards. Note: dues are half the cost after July 1st.
Individual ($25) & Household ($30) Individual (1 person) and Household (2 persons) applicants are elected to membership by other members. After receipt, your application will be read at the next club meeting, which you must attend. At the second meeting, with you again present, members will vote on acceptance. In addition to basic membership privileges summarized above, Individual & Household members may vote and hold an elected club office. If you plan on attending meetings and participating in club activities, one of these options would likely be preferable. Breeders who anticipate requesting referrals through the Club’s Puppy Referral Program should participate at this level.
