Keeping the Sport in the Breed
The Golden Retriever is a very versatile breed and enjoys participating in many activities. Originally bred to work in the hunting field, the breed has evolved to not only be a valued hunting companion but also a great family pet and competitive in many other dog performance events. These include conformation, obedience, agility, rally, tracking, field and hunt tests. The Tarheel Golden Retriever Club's motto "Keeping The Sport In The Breed" indicates not only the versatile ability of these dogs but also the great sportsmanlike nature of their owners. Tarheel members would like to remind all folks visiting our site that we are always looking for new members! Please come join us. Whether you're a pet person looking for more information about Goldens, thinking about adding a Golden to your home, or actively competing with your dog - WE NEED YOU!
