wee children, a dog for a fireside companion

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. ____________________________________________
Atpresent, we have approximately 102 members, most
of whom reside in Michigan, but also have members in Maryland, 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.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU JOIN OUR
CLUB!
