History of Brazosport Retriever Club

Brazosport Retriever Club is a licensed Club of the American Kennel Club ("AKC"), a member of the National Retriever Club, the National Amateur Retriever Club and the Master National Retriever Club.  BRC conducts exclusively AKC hunting tests and field trials. The Club strives to provide multiple benefits to members and prides itself on conducting high quality events.


The Club was started by a small but dedicated group of individuals in the early 1990's for the expressed purposes as listed in the by-laws.  The Club quickly grew largely due to an active program for hunting tests, field trials, training days, active membership participation at meetings, and strong camaraderie of its members.  It has established an outstanding reputation with the AKC, the National Retriever Club, Master National and with the other Retriever clubs locally.  Club members are frequently asked to judge both hunting tests and field trials throughout Texas and nationwide.  Both individual and family memberships are available, and applications for membership can be found on this website.  Club members include professional trainers, Veterinarians, amateur trainers, and individuals with one or multiple dogs representing virtually every breed authorized by AKC to run hunting tests and field trials.
