"A dog to hunt upland game, a dog to kiss my
wee children, a dog for a fireside companion and a dog to brag about in the carriage house on Sunday morn." ~The Duke of Gordon |
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 11 years we operated as an area committee of the Gordon Setter national or "parent club", the Gordon Setter Club of America, Inc, In 1994, 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 115 members, most of whom reside in Michigan, but also have members in Maryland, Oregon, Georgia, Ontario, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, Ohio, Maine and Minnesota. Membership is open to all interested Gordon fanciers, but Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Ontario residents will benefit the most from club membership since all club events are held in Michigan.

 I adopted Sheamus, aka Red as he was known to Nodgrog, in 1995 when he was 10 months old. He's going into his 16th year and although he has a hard time seeing and hearing (you would never know the way he runs around the house!) he is still my good and faithful companion. Susan Roth |

AKC Announces changes to the Rules Governing Dog Shows: Effective on a variety of dates in 2010, the AKC has announced important changes to the rules, following a long period of consultation with its’ delegates, exhibitors, breeders and others representing a cross section of the fancy. Details are available at: http://www.akc.org/enewsletter/ecbulletin/2010/winter/changes.cfm Here is a brief summary: Jan 1 brought in changes to event registration rules, including the need to register Bred-By-Exhibitor entries by the day of the event, allowing only individually registered dogs to be entered in AKC licenesed or member events (unless entered in Miscellaneous classes). Foreign-registered dogs must be properly registered in foreign registries accepted by the AKC. This means that litter numbers are no longer acceptable for most entries in AKC events, but ILP or the newer PAL numbers are acceptable in appropriate events. On or after July 1, conformation shows which include a 12-18 month junior dog/bitch class can be further subdivided into 12 months but not yet 15 months, and 15 months but not yet 18 months classes. Subsequent to the May 10, 2010 release of the new Points schedule for Conformation shows, a number of changes will also take place-involving the new ‘Grand Champion’ title and how points are tallied for that title; ‘Select Dog and Select Bitch’ awards; point tallies for those awards as well as for BOB, BOS, WD, WD, BOW. Those of our NODROG family who exhibit dogs in AKC events are encouraged to make themselves informed about these changes in greater detail |
