What is GRC?

It seeks to celebrate and test not only the dog’s gameness (G), but the relationship (R) with the handler, and the dog’s self control (C). Even though we are doing the drive events associated with the APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier), we are open to All Breeds (All Paws!)

The mission of GRC Dogsports is to provide PEOPLE with the motivation to give their dogs the training they need to thrive in this world, and a healthy place to put all of their natural drives. We want to re-purpose the old APBT games to show not just the amazing gameness and relationship, but also the control and teamwork you can achieve through training.

We hope that this sport will inspire people to create a community of like minded dog enthusiasts. We want to see clubs developed around the world, shelters and rescues involving their dogs in these clubs. And when someone adopts the dog, they have a community open to them and their pets. We want this sport to inspire them to continue training so they and their dog thrive! We want for responsible dog breeders to view GRC as a wonderful validation of the quality of their dog’s temperament and drive.

We want this sport to spread the vision of dogmanship, as we have come to love it, to as many people as it can.
