Preamble

The Hunting Retriever Club, Inc. and the United Kennel Club, Inc. are providing a program to develop the hunting retriever to fulfill its intended purpose in life - hunting. These two organizations, working closely together, provide hunters and hunting retrievers a series of actual hunting tests in a controlled environment working toward titles granted by UKC of Started Hunting Retriever (SHR), Hunting Retriever (HR), Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH), Grand Hunting Retriever Champion (GRHRCH), and Upland Hunter (UH).

The Hunting Retriever Club, Inc. and United Kennel Club, Inc. provide ongoing educational and training experience for hunters and their retrievers. Except for the International Grand Hunt, a hunting retriever will be able to participate in all tests at each level of competition without being eliminated. HRC believes in promoting conservation of waterfowl and upland game birds and provides a continuing commitment of our American members to our Second Amendment rights and all members’ rights to keep and bear arms.

The United Kennel Club, Inc. and/or The Hunting Retriever Club, Inc. may change rules and policies as deemed necessary.

The Hunting Retriever Club, Inc. annual Board of Directors meeting is held the second week in June of each year. The HRC Board of Directors is comprised of the Presidents of each HRC Club and the Elected Executive Committee Members. Regular election of National Officers occurs every two years in odd numbered years.
