In 1961 The Eastern Ontario Retriever Club was formed by a group of Sportsmen interested in conservation through the use of trained retrievers. In 1962 the Canadian Kennel Club granted the EORC permission to hold the first licensed field trial in Eastern Ontario. The success of these field trials has stimulated interest in the retriever breeds and has contributed to the growth of the Club to its present day status. Although the locations have changed throughout the years, the Club continues today to host field trials and retriever hunt tests in the Kingston and surrounding areas.
We here at the Eastern Ontario Retriever Club are anxious to showcase some of the nicest natural retriever training in this end of the province….. Come to Perth and enjoy the hospitality that it has to offer. We are sure that you will make memories that will last a lifetime..
