The Idaho Retriever Club (IRC) is the oldest Retriever Club in the state, encompassing Boise and a large surrounding area. We are a non-profit group with a diverse and dedicated membership of approximately 65 - brought together by our interest in working retrievers. We welcome members at all levels of experience, from the first-time retriever owner to those competing at advanced levels. IRC seeks to encourage the use of retrievers to conserve game, and to educate the public about the value of purebred dogs and responsible ownership and breeding.
IRC has an annual meeting and banquet each January. Board meetings are held as needed, and any member may attend. We hold field events from February through September each year which include Picnic Trials, AKC Hunt Tests and Field Trials. If you are new to the retriever game, read more about these events on our Events page. Attending as a spectator is also a great way to learn more and determine your interest in getting involved!
IRC has many members that participate in some or all of the above events with their dogs. Of course many of the same dogs also hunt in the fall. Whatever your interest, we look forward to having you and your dog(s) join us. Come on out, ask lots of questions and get training! Feel free to check with the IRC Contacts for more information.
