WELCOME TO NODROG

The NODROG Gordon Setter Club of Michigan, INC is an organization dedicated to promoting the
BEAUTY, BRAINS & BIRDSENSE in our black and tan Gordon Setters

___________________________________________

Our club was organized in 1983, and for 12 years we operated as and area committee of the Gordon Setter national or "parent club", the Gordon Setter Club of America, Inc, In 1996, the NODROG Gordon Setter Club of Michigan was officially licensed as a fully independent organization by the American Kennel Club, but we maintain close ties to the GSCA.

We annually host 2 AKC field trials, 2-3 AKC hunt tests, and independent specialty show with obedience and rally trials, and a number of educational and "fun events", including a yearly eye exam (CERF) and heartworm clinic and a summer fun picnic.

We are especially proud of our Gordon Setter rescue program. We place an average of 5-7 dogs annually in new homes. These dogs are evaluated for any health and temperament issues and placed with new families. We are always looking for potential foster families as well as folks willing to adopt.
We also have an active breeder referral program which matches prospective owners with responsible breeders of puppies and adult dogs.
____________________________________________

At present, we have approximately 100 members, most of whom reside in Michigan, but also have members in Ontario, New York, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Minnesota. Membership is open to all interested Gordon fanciers, but Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio residents will benefit the most from club membership since all club events are held in Michigan.
