Golden RetrieverEvents

Event types | Upcoming events

Each year our club holds three different levels of retriever trials which are sponsored by the Canadian Kennel Club. Competitors come from all over Ontario and the U.S. to compete in our trials.

New comers enjoy the Working Certificate tests of which we hold four each year.

At Christie's we hold a Hunt Test on Father's Day weekend and a Field Trial on the Thanksgiving weekend [see below for dates].

Through the winter months from November to April (on the first Sunday of the month) we hold training trials (called picnic trials).

If you have attended the Sportsman's show in Toronto and watched the Retriever trials, you probably would have seen many of our members compete for the Gold Whistle.

Spectators are always welcome at our events.

There are three levels of CKC retriever trials.

The WC/I/X (Working Certificate/Intermediate/Excellent) series, for which all Poodles are eligible along with Irish Water Spaniels, and the six retrievers: Chesapeake, Labrador, Flat Coated, Curly Coated, Golden and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling.

The Hunt Tests, for which Standard Poodles are eligible along
with IWS, and the six retrievers.

Field trials, for which Irish Water Spaniels and the six retrievers are eligible.
