Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in the training of Golden Retrievers for hunting and for competition. The club also encourages and promotes quality in the breeding of purebred Golden Retrievers and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection.

We encourage the conservation of wildlife through the use of properly trained retrievers.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
