AKC & GRCA TITLES
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of all those letters before and after a dog’s registered name? Below is a list of what those letters mean. Be assured that every one of those titles required a lot of time and commitment from both the owner and the dog. If you would like more information about how to add letters to your Golden’s registered name, consider joining our club. We have lots of members involved in all types of events, from field work, to agility, to conformation, etc.
​
We promise that you and your Golden will love it!
Congratulations to AGRC member Roger Fuller and Marty - KC Back to The Future QA2 MH (pictured above) on their win in the National Amateur Field Trial at the 2025 GRCA National Specialty in St. Louis, MO.

The AKC is constantly coming up with new dog sports for people to enjoy with their dogs. Training your Golden for these events is fun and rewarding. Below is a link to all of the AKC dog titles.
