Perpetual trophies are awarded each year at the Annual Meeting.
A perpetual trophy remains the permanent property of the Yankee Golden Retriever Club (YGRC). Each trophy is inscribed yearly at the club's expense and may be retained by the winner for approximately one year upon submission of a $50.00 deposit. The deposit will be refunded upon return of the trophy in good condition by the deadline before the next annual meeting.
To be eligible to win a Perpetual Trophy:
You must be a current YGRC member in good standing
You must have been a club member for the entire trophy eligibility period (November 1 – October 31)
You must have done some volunteer service work for the club during the trophy year.
Applicants and Subscribers are not eligible. Co-owners must have been members of YGRC or the Golden Retriever Club of America (GRCA) for a minimum of one year. Golden Retrievers may be professionally handled in Breed and Field events but must be amateur-handled in Obedience and Agility events. All wins must be earned in the United States.
