1998 was a fun and exciting year for the Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club. There were 10 new AKC Titles earned by 10 dogs. Many of these titles were the very first for some of our members and I seriously doubt the last. Several of the members are training right through the winter and can't wait for the show season to kick off.
The CGRC Annual Awards Banquet was held on January 16th, 1999, and was a great success. Hats off to Heather Bailey for coordinating and actually attending the banquet when her due date was just around the corner. Clare M. Owings, President, highlighted the past year and reported on the membership accomplishments. CGRC plaques were awarded to members for their combined accomplishments with their goldens.
Awards of accomplishment were presented to the following members for earning an AKC
title. These awards were earned during the 1998 calendar year. A sincere congratulations
to all.

This trophy has been donated to the Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club by Dr. and Mrs. J. Michael Selander of Great Falls, Virginia in memory of "Corey," their first multi-titled Golden.
The trophy will be awarded annually to the Chesapeake GRC member whose owned or co-owned Golden Retriever achieves the most outstanding performance across multiple areas of endeavor during the preceeding 12 month period. The trophy is to serve as an inspiration to all Chesapeake club members to strive to perfect the innate talents of their dogs in multiple areas.
The themes of this trophy have been artistically rendered by Marcia Schlehr. The trophy is composed of four base relief bronze castings, which symbolize the Golden Retriever in breed, obedience, field and tracking competition. In addition, the top of the trophy is crowned with a bronze sculpture of a Golden laying down, and looking up at you. This is a reflection of our sentiment, that above all else, Corey was first and foremost our family companion.
The point schedule for evaluating qualifications for this trophy’s award recognizes accomplishment in all four areas of endeavor, recognizing a range of accomplishment that spans class placements (with competition) and qualifying scores, all the way through attainment of AKC and GRCA recognized titles, up to Show Dog Hall of Fame(SDHF), Obedience Trial Champion (OTCH), and National Amateur Field Championship (NAFC) level titles.
It must be noted, however, that it is the intent of this trophy, that it be awarded first and foremost on the basis of diversity of accomplishment, and secondly awarded on the basis of advanced proficiency in any one area of endeavor. Thus, the Golden who attains a Companion dog title and a single breed class placement is to be regarded as being more of this trophy than the Golden who attains multiple Best of Breed wins. It is hoped that this trophy will encourage all Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club members to explore multiple areas of competition, and in this way better appreciate the versatility of the Golden Retriever and the incredible joy they can bring into our lives.
Chesapeake Golden Retriever Club is pleased to announce that the second Corey Memorial Perpetual Trophy has been awarded to
