Kansas City Hunting Retriever Club Objectives:
Reasons for you to join KCHRC:
CONSERVATION
One of the best reasons is conservation. A well trained retriever is conservation in action.
No one likes to waste game, but everyone cripples a bird from time to time.
The trained retriever is the best and fastest means of finding downed birds.
TRAINING
The most efficient way to turn your retriever into a well trained conservationist is to join a retriever club. At KCHRC you will meet people of all backgrounds and ages. Some will have years of experience, while others will be just starting out. We hold regular weekend training days, meetings, and fun events throughout the year. Together, we pool our resources, time, and knowledge to gain skills on how to educate our dogs, and to hunt more safely and effectively.
TESTING
A GREAT reason to join a club like KCHRC is for the opportunity to learn about and participate in organized events called "hunt tests". These events are Licensed by UKC and provide a platform where you can earn ribbons and titles for you and your dog. You get to see dogs at all levels of ability participating at their best towards accomplishing the HRC standards of skill.
WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT A RETRIEVER CLUB?
Without support for HRC clubs like KCHRC, there wouldn't be any regional Hunt Tests to enter, local training opportunities, or educational events. Members of KCHRC put out a great deal of effort to provide a resource for retriever owners to educate and improve their dogs abilities. In addition, most regional HRC clubs are highly vocal and visible to state and local conservation agencies. This visibility helps to preserve your rights to use and hunt public lands in addition to helping preserve game for the future.
EXPECTATIONS

As a member, you are expected to contribute resources and volunteer your time to help support the club and the events it holds.
