Yadkin River Waterfowl and Retriever Club is dedicated to improving the retrieving breed, in training and testing of retrievers, and in the fellowship, cooperation and learning that can take place when people and dogs are working to reach mutual goals of excellence.

Members of our club participate in a number of different canine sports including Hunt tests, Field Trials, Agility, Conformation, Obedience, Rally and Dock Diving.

The YRWRC hosts two hunts tests per year - the first in early March and the second in late October. In addition to actual hunt tests, our club provides monthly training sessions where we simulate hunt test conditions. We use the same birds and equipment you can expect to see at a test. Training advice is always available.

The members of the YRWRC are very helpful and friendly, and you will have an opportunity to more fully appreciate, enjoy and grow with your hunting dog. Remember, the more you put into your retriever and into your Club, the more you’ll get from them in return.
