As club president, I would like to personally welcome you to the Wild Rose Hunting
and Retriever Club (WRHRC).

The WRHRC is dedicated to the betterment of hunting retriever breeds, through training, education, breeding and providing opportunity for individuals and their dogs to challenge hunt test standards. The WRHRC organizes hunt tests under the guidelines of the North America Hunter Retriever Association (NAHRA). I would encourage you to check out the NAHRA website to learn more. Over the years it has become clearly evident that the WRHRC greatest asset is its’ members. The knowledge, dedication and commitment of our club members are the qualities that your executive board members are truly proud of. The WRHRC is a volunteer organization. As a new club member I encourage you to become involved with club activities, ask questions (ask lots of questions!) and take advantage of the various people and resources to assist you with your dog training.

Included in this membership package are the following:
• A list of this years WRHRC Executive Board Members
• A reference list of suggested books, videos and web sites
• A copy of the WRHRC Bylaws
• A map to the WRHRC training land by Kathyrn
• An air photo of the WRHRC training land
• Training Etiquette for the Kathyrn Grounds

The WRHRC newsletter entitled “The Fetching Post” is published a number of times throughout the year and will keep you informed of club activities and up coming events. Should you have any questions or concerns at any time please feel free to contact
myself or any of the executive board members.

Sincerely,

Doug Rowden
2009 WRHRC President
