HRC's goal
is to work, individually and together, to promote and support the betterment of
all retriever breeds. Through training and testing our retrievers in hunting
environments, we prove our dogs to the achievement of titles offered by
HRC. Founded in
1996, Cowtown HRC proudly encourages and supports waterfowl and upland hunters
in teaching and preparing their dogs to be the best they can - in hunting and hunt test venues. If you'd like to have a more prepared hunting companion in
your dog or you haven't experienced seeing well trained retrievers, we invite
you to contact us.
