Welcome to the Navesink River Hunting Retriever Club!
Please take a moment and browse through our website, as it could lead to the best decision you'll make since becoming a dog owner.
Our club offers an environment that can help you and your dog achieve skills beyond your training expectations. Whether you simply want a happy, safe and obedient pup; a dependable hunting companion; or you aspire to earn the title of Grand Master Hunting Retriever, our club can help you realize those desires and dreams.
We are a group comprised of average people-husbands, wives and families-who have an extensive knowledge of retriever training. We support and encourage each other and enjoy sharing our experience with new trainers.
Club training sessions offer an opportunity to learn a variety of training skills-from beginning to advanced-and just as important, they offer your dog an opportunity to learn social skills around other dogs and people that training by yourself doesn't provide.
Training a dog for the field can be a challenge, especially if it's your first "real" hunting dog. All of our members have been there and have learned valuable lessons-lessons you can take advantage of by avoiding similar mistakes and keeping training simple and straightforward for your dog.
Our members run their dogs in NAHRA and AKC hunt and field tests and have won top honors in New Jersey Waterfowlers and Tuckerton Decoy Show gun dog competitions. Some of our members however have no interest in competition and just enjoy training outstanding hunting retrievers-which is what we're all about. As a collective force, our club can make training easier and more enjoyable for both you and your pup.
While browsing our site look at the calendar of events and make plans to join us at a club training day or feel free to call or email any member or officer. You won't be disappointed. For a real treat try to attend our hunt test in May where you will see some of the best dog and handler teams from the North East.
Hope to see you training in the future!

Affiliated with the North American Hunting Retriever Association (NAHRA), Navesink River Hunting Retriever Club was founded in 1985 to promote the training of retrievers in New Jersey. Today the club continues this effort by hosting training sessions and licensed hunt tests as well as club Gun Dog tests through out the year.
With members from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, most of our events are held in the central NJ area.
The dogs trained by club members are an assortment of retrievers and include Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Curly Coated Retrievers, Flat Coat Retrievers, Nova Scotia Duck Tollers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, and Boykin Spaniels. We welcome people and dogs of all ages and abilities.
The goals of the membership are as diverse as the dogs. Some participate in NAHRA and AKC hunt and field tests at all levels. Others work in the obedience arena while others work to make their retrievers better hunting companions - and some just enjoy the work and companionship of their dog. In fact, many members and their dogs work at many of these goals and more - and in fact - that is what the club is about - supporting the members and their dogs!
