What Do We Do?
The Alberta Clipper Hunting Retriever Association is an Edmonton area based club with members from all over Alberta and club land near Wabamun.
ACHRA is an affiliate member of the Canadian Kennel Club and the North American Hunting Retriever Association. Currently ACHRA is sanction to offer licensed Hunt Tests and Working Certificate Tests.
ACHRA is dedicated to the betterment of hunting retrievers through training, education, breeding and the testing of that training at hunt test events.
Hunt Tests - Hunting retriever clubs throughout North America provide a venue for trainers and handlers to assess dogs trained and inherent abilities. A finished retriever is required to perform numerous tasks while afield. Hunt tests are designed to simulate as closely as possible situations a hunter might encounter in a typical days hunt.
Training - Finished retrievers are developed over a period of time using a combination of yard drills interspersed with appropriate field training. Developing the relationship between handler and dog is a must if the partnership is to succeed. Training and handling classes occur both formally and informally and offer members the opportunity to acquire the skills to develop the teamwork required to produce a finished retriever.
