HCRC and its’ members are committed to education, retriever training and testing, and safety forall individuals, especially during Hunt Test events. Hells Canyon Retriever Club and its members are committed to the advancement of educational services for retriever animal training and safety courses for all individuals. Safety courses for animal and human first aid, sportman conservation and animal training are offered to the public. The club has been established with common goals for individuals who compete in AKC hunt & field events, or those who desire to bring out the natural abilities of hunting retrievers to promote amateur sports.  

Membership in HCRC requires each member be an integral “working” part of the Club  not just a “paid” member who shows up to run his/her dog at events.  In order for HCRC to succeed in its’ purpose, the members of HCRC are the “links” to “make it happen”.  Whether on a Hunt Test Committee, setting up Fun Events, educating and/or assisting others (including the general public) in retriever training, judging, or throwing birds from a blind in the middle of nowhere, each of these tasks are important and vital to the longevity of HCRC.
