    New scam email warning

    Please be aware there is (another) round of scam emails going around. This one has a Club Officer download link through a platform called EverNote (or some other variation of a “secure message” link) asking you to click, download, sign, and so on. Don’t do it! These are not legitimate.

    Do not click on any links or attachments, and do not forward the message. Most of the ones we’ve been seeing lately use the old “.org” extensions, which is a tell-tale giveaway that they are bogus. Delete the message and warn your friends.

The HRC International Grand

Galleries are organized the way the Grand runs: by flight, then by series and site, with a folder for each dog where photographers sort them that way.

Sample The galleries show sample albums until real Grand photos are uploaded.

The current issue is October/November 2026. It is a 148-page PDF that includes club and advertiser contact details, so it is held for review and not linked from this site yet.
