Youth Retriever Program

This program is designed to get youth involved with hunting, dogs and the Hunting Retriever Club. If you should have any questions, please contact Todd Kellam at (269) 343-9020 ext. 103 or e-mail at tkellam@ukcdogs.com. The structure of the program is as follows:

	Breeders who are willing to donate pups to a youth chosen by UKC will send in a breeder application.
	Kids will send in applications with an essay describing why they would like a pup and what breed/color they prefer. The applicant must also choose a sponsor who is actively involved in HRC, such as a parent, family friend, etc.
	The staff will read and pick the recipient for each issue of the magazine, and pair them with a breeder within reasonable driving distance.
	The parents of the applicant will be contacted by phone to make sure the parents approve of the new pup.
	It will be the responsibility of the applicant’s parents and the breeder to arrange a safe delivery of the pup.
	A photo and write-up will be supplied from the successful applicant and will be published in the next issue of HUNTING RETRIEVER.
	The pup must be UKC registered with YRP from the program name in front of the pup’s name to recognize the program.
	It is the responsibility of the applicant to keep in contact with the breeder regarding the status of the pup. The recipient must not sell the dog unless they have the permission of the breeder.

We will be accepting applications from breeders willing to donate pups and kids who want to participate in this program.

Getting the youth actively involved with HRC is a great way to spend time with our kids and teach them about hunting, dog training and gun safety.
