Feature Article
(Note: this article was an award winner in the
DWAA competition)

The Golden Retriever News is the official publication of the Golden Retriever Club of America and is available only through membership in the GRCA. (Note: Foreign subscribers do not have to be members of GRCA.)

The first issue of the magazine was published in the late 1940s and it has been in continuous publication since. Currently it is published bimonthly and mailed on the first of every even month. An average issue is 200-plus pages, with a color cover, and includes many color and black and white advertisements.

The magazine features special articles of interest to Golden Retriever fanciers. In addition, there are regular articles that cover every possible area in which Goldens are involved:

Also of interest to readers are advertisements for dog-related items, puppies for sale, stud service, show win brags, and occassionally the older Golden for sale.

The January-February issue traditionally features extensive coverage of the past National Specialty. Photos of each class winner, Judges' critiques, diagrams of the field tests and agility trial, photos of each of GRCA's impressive challenge trophies and winners, the Golden Fund for Rescue's art auction and much, much more are featured.
