The Susquehanna Retriever CLub was started in 1989 and held their first meeting at the Pilottown Rod and Gun Club on August 9, 1989.  The SRC was originally founded as a club for all aspects of retrievers including showing, obedience and field work.  In March, 1990, the SRC held its first Junior Hunt Test Fun Match at the Stoney Chase Farm in Conowingo, MD.  The Fun Match had 40 Junior Entries with the entry fee of $18.00 per dog.  By the end of 1990, the SRC had 31 members.  In April, 1991, the SRC had submitted its Constitution and by-laws to the American Kennel Club.  In 1991, the SRC held its first AKC sanctioned Junior and Senior Hunt test and became a member of the Master National Retriever Club.  In the fall of 1992, the SRC held their first AKC licensed test with Junior, Senior and Master levels all offered.

Today, the SRC remains focused on AKC Hunt Tests and holds two events each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. 

Throughout the year, the club gets together at various locations to train.  Training days are open to everyone and we encourage each member to bring guests.  If you would like more information on training days or locations, please email Frank Durham - Club President or Will Kernodle - Club Vice President, thier email address can be found in the officers section of the website.
