\cf8 \cf0 \ The Hoosier Hunting Retriever Club was conceived by hunters, for hunters to give them the \ opportunity to work with their dogs, meet other people interested in the sport, and to \ participate in hunting retriever tests. Our primary goal is help you sharpen your dogs natural \ abilities and become the dog you desire. \ \cf8\cf0 \ \cf3 | \cf0

\cf8 \cf0 \ OUR PURPOSE: \ \cf8\cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ The Hoosier Hunting Retriever Club was formed to provide an opportunity for dog enthusiasts to work together to hone their \ dog's natural abilities. Hoosier HRC brings together a variety of individuals all for the sole purpose of training our \ dogs to become the hunting retriever each of us desires. \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ About Hoosier HRC \ \cf8\cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ Membership in the Hoosier Hunting Retriever Club provides you with the opportunity to work with others and to learn the \ skills necessary to train your retriever. It will also provides you with the opportunity to learn training tips from \ fellow members, observe dog demonstrations, participate in monthly training days and general membership meetings, attend \ judges/handlers seminars, and participate in United Kennel Club (UKC) licensed hunting retriever tests. \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ As an organization, we train from March thru September, usually twice a month. Normally, we train at the Farmland \ Conservation Club in Farmland IN, Camp Cullom in Frankfort, IN and Glen Valley Gun Club in Glenns Valley, IN. To provide a \ variety for our dogs, we occasionally train at other venues. \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ Since our goal is to help you with your dog, what we work on during training days varies based on the needs and desires of \ the club members. At every training day, we set up scenarios for every level of dog from puppy to Champion. These scenarios \ are designed to challenge the dogs (and handlers) and teach them new skills. Whenever possible, we do use real birds, \ usually ducks and pigeons. Most training days will contain both land and water elements, providing it is not detrimental to \ the dogs health. Training days are held during virtually all types of weather. So if its raining, grab your rain suit and \ come-on out and bundle up if its cold! \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ Every year Hoosier HRC hosts at least one Hunting Retriever Hunt Test which is open to all retrievers and versatile gun dog \ breeds. These Hunt Tests test the abilities of our dogs against national standards based on Started, Seasoned and Finished \ Classes. Participation in the tests is voluntary, but they are a great way to see how far your dog has come in their \ training. \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ An annual banquet is held for all members, at which time awards are presented. The club is a family-oriented organization, \ welcoming men, women and children. New members are always welcome. \ \cf8 \cf0 \ \cf8\cf0 \ \cf3 | \cf0
