Is anyone connected with a retriever club in NW Oregon? Most of the websites look pretty out of date. Picking up a new pup next week. Been out of the game for quite a while but looking forward to getting back to training.
Willamette RTC, Oregon Hunting RC, Oregon RTC, Rose City RC, Salem (?) Look on AKC web site for contacts. Not sure about other venues. Formerly of Molalla,now NW Montana Jeff G
Also if you have any questions on training etc PM me and I can try to help. I hunted, trained, ran hunt tests, and then field trials in the Pac NW. Mostly here now. James 2:24-26
Thanks Labs... I've trained before with good result just trying to get connected with some local enthusiasts. Funny most of the websites seem pretty un-maintained. Most recent newsletter is like 3-4 years ago, no reply to emails. RC seems most active so will connect there.
This was from a Statesman Journal article on retrievers : James MacDonald offers everything from one-time sessions to full-service waterfowl dog training and can be reached at 503-502-5029. He used to be the Sec for Willamette and on Find Retrievers was showing for ORTC.They used to have fun days at St Louis Ponds in spring. Another good contact is on ifish or retrievertraining.net Ron in Portland is his handle. Or come up here in April. Over 18 training properties within 1/2 hour. Jeff
