The Texoma Hunting Retriever Club is a local member
of the national Hunting Retriever Club, Inc., an affiliate of the
United Kennel Club, Inc., the largest registry of hunting dogs in
the world. The motto of the Hunting Retriever Club is “conceived
by hunters for hunters.”
The goal of our membership is to provide the opportunity
for retriever enthusiast to train and test their dogs. Many of our
members are experienced retriever trainers able to assist you with
problems or offer helpful training tips.
Texoma HRC meets monthly to discuss club activities,
hunting and training topics. One weekend a month we meet for
training
days. The Texoma HRC holds a spring and fall test each year. The
tests consist of three categories; Started, Seasoned, and Finished.
The dogs are judged against a set standard, rather than against
each other. In addition, those retrievers which have demonstrated
both their natural and trained abilities, are awarded titles in
each category. There is no finer off season training program
for
you and your retriever. Hello there!!
You and your retriever will have the opportunity
to test your skills in actual hunting situations. The handler wears
camouflage and shoots a shotgun loaded with blanks. Ducks, pheasants
or pigeons are used in all tests.
The Texoma Hunting Retriever Club offers its members a family environment
in which to train and test their retrievers. Dogs have the opportunity
to run all tests even if they have failed a portion of the test.
Titles awarded are Started Hunting Retriever (SHR);
Hunting Retriever (HR); Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH); Grand
Hunting Retriever Champion (GRHRCH); and Upland Hunter (UH).
No matter what level of training you and your retriever
are at, Texoma Hunting Retriever Club is for you. If you do not
currently own a retriever, but would like to have one, the club
would be happy to assist you in finding the right puppy or fully
trained dog.
Come out and join us. Contact a club officer for
more details. Look for us on the web at www.TexomaHRC.com
