Parade of Titleholders

The 2023 GRCA National Specialty Parade of Titleholders celebrates and honors the dedication, hard work, and achievements of the many facets of Golden Retriever performance, not to mention the dogs and their handlers. Earning a title requires immense effort, training, and skill, both on the part of the dogs and their handlers. By organizing a parade to celebrate these titleholders, we provide an opportunity for the community to come together and acknowledge these amazing accomplishments. It serves as a platform to showcase the exceptional qualities and talents of these dogs, promoting a sense of pride and admiration for their abilities.

The Parade of Titleholders also will inspire and motivate others to pursue similar goals. When individuals witness the well-trained and beautifully presented dogs, it can ignite a passion for dog training and the desire to participate in dog sports themselves. The parade becomes a source of inspiration, encouraging individuals to work towards achieving titles and improving their own skills. It fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among dog enthusiasts, creating an environment that supports and encourages the pursuit of excellence in dog handling and training.

The Parade of Titleholders Is open to all Golden Retrievers who have earned a MINIMUM of one or more of the following AKC titles (OR HIGHER): CH, UD, FC, AFC, MH, QAA***, MX, MXJ, MXP, MJP, TDX, VST, RAE
