It is forecasted to be a beautiful, sunny day on Sunday. See everyone there!

Reminder: Meeting & Training Day Tomorrow

Ours is a community sport where we depend upon one another. Every handler needs someone to throw birds for them. We all depend upon the coaching and feedback that our trusted training partners give us on a regular basis. And, if you've ever earned a ribbon at a hunt test or field trial, an army of volunteers made that event possible.

Tomorrow, The First State Retriever Club meets at 9:30 a.m. to finalize our plans for our inaugural Junior/Senior Hunt test which is scheduled for November 13th. Many hands make light work, so we need all hands on deck to make our first test a success. There are so many ways to help! Bring the whole family to tomorrow's meeting and we'll sign everyone up to play a part. Let's all work together to host a test that we can be proud of.

October 21st Meeting and Training Day

 

Welcome to the First State Retriever Club's New Website!

Our club went from a spark of an idea to a reality in a very short time due to the hard work of a small group of people who now represent the club as officers and directors. Our membership has quickly grown and everyone is finding a way to help move the club forward. In that short time, we've held monthly training days and events, we've gained AKC approval, and we've added Fall and Spring Hunt Tests to the calendar. And, this morning, we've launched a website to communicate with our members and the public and to celebrate what we accomplish together with our dogs.

We leave you today with a few words of wisdom...
