NEW MEMBER AWARD
Chris Law brought home his first golden retriever Rundlemtn oka pohaku ale (a.k.a. Maui) in May 2024. Chis is a certified professional dog trainer, and has found great success with Maui already. In 2025, they completed their Open Scent Indoor and Containers Qualifiers. They also received their Working Certificate during last years' GRCAB event in June. Chris is planning to continue his hunt journey with Maui and is currently registered for the Flat-Coated Retriever Society of Canada upcoming trial. And now that he has completed his 1-year requirement as a GRCAB member, he is also hoping to also get more involved with club leadership. Chris aims to bring more hunt trial opportunities to Alberta, and would like to help members train for WC's in the future. He's gotten the golden bug, and I see him contributing to the long-term promotion, protection and preservation of the breed. Submitted by Jill Miller.Type your paragraph here.
