To urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which the Golden Retriever shall be judged.
To do all in its power to protect and advance the interest of the breed by encouraging members and others to follow the Club’s guidance in breeding practices, and to encourage sportsmanlike participation at dog shows, field trials and tests, obedience trials and tracking tests.
To offer all events for which the club is eligible under the rules and regulations of The American Kennel Club and the Golden Retriever Club of America.
