Attention CARO Participants

We’re excited to let you know that CARO is launching our brand-new website and database! 🎉

To complete the migration, our current website will be temporarily unavailable starting on October 15, 2025. We expect the downtime to last approximately one week, after which the new site will be live.

During this period:
· Memberships, dog registrations, trial and judge applications will be unavailable.
· Dog records and trial results will not be accessible.
· Updates will be posted on Facebook to keep you informed.

We appreciate your patience as we make this transition. The new system will provide a smoother, faster, and more user-friendly experience for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

CARO Rally Grand Master Champion Title

The Grand Master title officially came into effect on April 1, 2025. However, since the title isn’t included in our current database, we’re unable to assign it manually or identify who has earned it at this time. We expect the new database to be ready sometime this fall.

In the meantime, we’d like to keep track of those who have achieved the title. If you’ve met the required number of Qs, please take a moment to complete the Grand Master Title Submission form. This will help us keep everything organized and ensure we have all recipients accounted for once we’re ready to distribute ribbons and certificates.
