Become a member of the UK's oldest Gordon Setter Club.
The British Gordon Setter Club began in 1927 which makes it the oldest of the Gordon Setter clubs in the UK.
The club has been grown from the traditional roots of the field trials of the working Gordon Setter through to conformation showing in order to determine the dog that is closest to the breed standard which enables it to be fit for the function of it's working cause.
The modern club still retains these core values of working ability and conformation standard; however the pet Gordon Setter is also firmly embedded in the club's core. Many of the club's members have been actively involved in the breed for decades and bring a wealth of information and knowledge to the club about the breed and it's history (both ancient and modern). The diversity of interests of the members and the activities they share with their Gordons is wide. Whatever you are interested in, be it a competitive arena or social activities there are members who share those values and activities too.​
​​
For your membership you get access to other members, their experience, knowledge and advice on living with and caring for a Gordon Setter. The website offers a wealth of information especially the member's area; and you'll get to hear first hand whenever there are Gordon Setter related events and activities on around the country via our regular newsletters and publications.
​
We would love you to continue your Gordon Setter journey with us.
​
Traditionally we ask for a proposer and a seconder for your membership application but the committee are more than happy to do this for you if you do not know a member.
