*** ATTENTION GDCA AFFILIATE CLUBS! ***

Eligibility Requirements to Hold Future Dog Shows

The new AKC requirements were included in the most recent Bulletin. If you have not reviewed them please go to the Bulletin and read them through. It has been brought to my attention that there is a piece missing from that information and that is the Statement of Compliance. The AKC will require that a Statement of Compliance be submitted with each application for any show held after January 1, 2009. The Statement of Compliance can be found at HERE and is to be completed and signed by a Club officer.

If you have additional questions please feel free to contact me either by email or phone.

* * * New GDCA Website Feature * * *

Never miss another GDCA update!

You can now subscribe to the GDCA Newsletter and receive all the updates for a 2 week period in one short message, sent to your email address (subscribe on left menu).

We will have multiple email lists. One for the general public, Club Secretaries and those Groups we find that need to be created to disseminate specific information. Some of these Groups will not be open to the general public.

To start, we will send out announcements on a bi-weekly basis. Announcements will be short with direct links to more information on the website. Of course, one can unsubscribe at any time.
 
The Great Dane Club of America hopes that everyone will participate in this 21st Century method of timely communication to the Great Dane fancy.
