HRC is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers, with the exception of an Administrative Coordinator. It is democratically governed by a Board of Directors and an elected Executive Committee, and was formed in 1984.
Membership in HRC is open to all persons regardless of age, race, religion, creed, or national origin.
HRC is a family-oriented organization offering outdoor fun and fellowship to its participants. Young hunters are the future of the organization. Participation by all family members is strongly encouraged, and a wholesome atmosphere is maintained at all times.
While most HRC members own retrieving breeds, participation in events is open to all UKC Gun Dog breeds.
