Today at DRC - club training day. Thanks to all who participated and helped out!
The DRC is a group of men and women of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities who have one thing in common - a love of dogs and the outdoors.
The Duluth Retriever Club is dedicated to dog training, sportsmanship & wildlife conservation through education, such as the Train-The-Trainer(T3) program and Youth Outdoor Expo, and the club grounds that offer a place to train both on water and upland. The club also supports the development of hunting dogs through AKC sanctioned field events.
