Welcome to wcohrc.com!

WCOHRC!!! West Central Ohio Hunting Retriever Club is the oldest hunting Retriever club in Ohio. We have been training and testing dogs for over twenty years. We strive to bring good friends and great dogs together in the same venue.

The WCOHRC was "conceived by hunters for hunters" to train and test our dogs in true life hunting situations. Those at our local level train for those real life hunting situations as well as basic fundamental training drills.
  • West Central Ohio HRC has been a charter member of the National Hunting Retriever Club, Inc since 1986.
  • Is affiliated with the United Kennel Club (UKC), Inc, the world's largest working dog registry.
  • UKC, Inc. licenses our hunts, maintains our retriever's points and awards the titles that our retrievers earn.
In the spring of the year WCOHRC holds our annual hunt test awarding ribbons, pride, and titles. We draw friends from all over the country to our tests. We always have a great time meeting new friends, and swapping stories with the old friends. While retriever training books and videos are helpful, training with a group of people allows you to meet others who have had, or, are experiencing the same training issues you are having. Plus, many of the people with whom you train will motivate you to improve the skills of your dog. All this training truly pays off when the ducks are circling, your heart is pounding, and your little buddy is shaking with anticipation to leap into the frigid water to make it's master proud.
We invite you to check back often to see what WCOHRC is doing. We would, also, like to invite you to come to a meeting or training day and meet people who have the same passion as you.
