Club Information
The Dusky Hunting Retriever Club was formed by a group of retriever enthusiasts in Oregon who are devoted to training, testing and raising hunting dog breeds. The Hunting Retriever Club, Inc. was “conceived by Hunters for Hunters”. We promote the use of a trained retriever for hunting in the interest of waterfowl and game bird conservation. The HRC is a family oriented organization and participation by all who are interested is strongly encouraged, regardless of experience.
In the spirit of the HRC, one of our first goals is to develop regular training groups, with the focus of offering outdoor fun and fellowship while working our dogs. In the future, we are hoping to be able to hold our preliminary hunt. For those who have never run an HRC hunt test, you are in for a treat. These events are a fun place to test your dog and your training in realistic hunting scenarios. Regardless of pass or fail in each series, you get to complete the entire test. Those who are interested in running hunt tests, but have no experience in testing or even hunting, will find great benefit in club activities. Our training group sessions will be an opportunity to become exposed to and practiced with various equipment, training and hunting concepts.
For new members, please note we need both the membership form and a signed release form for each member.
