About Us

The Badger Golden Retriever Club was established in 1968 and serves Southeastern Wisconsin. We have approximately 60 members whose interests span the full range of Golden activities: breeding, conformation, field, obedience, agility, and tracking.

General membership meetings throughout the year feature informational programs and fun activities with our dogs. Our major events include the annual Specialty held in March and the Hunt Test and WC/WCX Test held in August.

The objectives of the Badger Golden Retriever Club are to:

• Encourage members to perfect, by selective breeding, sound Golden retrievers and to do all possible to develop and promote their natural ability and quality, while still maintaining their exceptionally good dispositions;
• 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 Golden retrievers shall be judged;
• Do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, field trials, obedience trials, and tracking tests;
• Conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows, field trials, and tracking tests under the rules of the American Kennel Club and WC/WCX tests under the rules of the GRCA; and
• Support and further the interests of the Golden Retriever Club of America.
