Any special Golden events in Florida in the near future?

__________________

There's not specifically any golden events going on in the near future--you have a lot of stuff in your area that are all breed events that include goldens; I just went on the MB-F web site and did a search for Florida and saw that in addition to all the large conformation shows in the SW Florida area, there are agility, obedience and rally trials planned in the next two months.

If you scroll down you'll see that the Mid-Florida Golden Retriever Club is hosting a hunt test the first weekend of February in Central Florida and that the Everglades Golden Retriever Club is hosting a Specialty show and all breed obedience and rally trial in early March in West Palm Beach.

There is a new Golden Retriever club in your area, the Florida Gulf Coast Golden Retriever Club, but I just went to that web site and it has not been updated for 2010--2009 events are still listed. You might want to check that web site in the next few weeks or so and see if anything more recent is listed.

This time of year is a great time to go to a dog show, any type of event, in Florida! (despite the freeze warnings!)

It is not a show but the rescue that I am with is having a golden fest

GoldenFest 2010 - Our 7th Annual GoldenFest celebration will be April 3rd, 2010 from 1-3pm at Dogwood Park (www.jaxdogs.com) in Jacksonville! Last year, over 150 Golden Retrievers and their families joined in on the fun and sun, reuniting with dear friends, and playing with lots of new, furry ones! See photos from Goldenfest 2009...
