The Westchester Retriever Club, Inc. is a non-profit organization committed to the training, testing and breeding of working retrievers, including Chesapeake Retrievers, Curly-Coated Retrievers, Flat-Coated Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Irish Water Spaniels, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, and Standard Poodles. We seek to educate owners and handlers, as well as the general public in the use and value of purebred hunting retrievers in conserving game. No matter your experience level, if you are interested in purebred hunting retrievers, Westchester Retriever Club, Inc. is the club for you!

Our membership includes people of all ages and experience levels from all walks of life, including professional retriever breeders and trainers. We are an active and hard-working club that hosts training events and opportunities, membership meetings, training seminars, hunt tests and field trials throughout the year. For more information, see our Events page.

WRC is licensed to hold American Kennel Club hunt tests and field trials. WRC is also a Master National member Club. Most of our members participate in these events, but others are just hunters or fans of working retrievers.

WRC's official purposes are to:

  1. Stimulate interest in the training of retrievers for hunting and field trial work.
  2. Encourage the conservation of wildlife through the use of properly trained retrievers.
  3. Encourage the members to perfect, by selective breeding, retrievers most suitable for such work.
  4. Conduct sanctioned and licensed field trials according to AKC regulations.
