Nordisk Mesterskab for Golden Retrievers 2026

Den 1.–2. august 2026 afholdes Nordisk Mesterskab for Golden Retrievers i Kongsvinger-området i det sydøstlige Norge.

Traditionen tro samler mesterskabet nordiske Golden Retrievere og deres førere til en weekend med konkurrence på højt niveau, stærkt samarbejde og et varmt nordisk fællesskab – hvor både venskaber og fælles passion for racen er i centrum.

I år danner det fantastiske terræn ved Maarud Gjestegaard rammen om dagene.
