The Port Arthur Retriever Club was established in 1950 as a club for the advancement of the  retriever breeds through the avenue of competitive field trials. 

The club was founded primarily by serious duck hunters who wanted to spend more time with their retrievers and develop the breed beyond the norm. People like Willard & Dutch Higgs, Joe Savant, Gordy Moss, Lee & Marjorie Broussard had the determination to get this club started. 

We held the second AKC sanctioned field trial West of the Mississippi River, preceded by The Lone Star Retriever Club by only one week. 

Today the club is still striving to develop the retriever to the maximum of it's ability. 

Over the course of one year we will hold two AKC sanctioned field trials, one derby/qualifying event and two AKC sanctioned hunt tests.

We welcome all newcomers to the sport, and encourage all retriever owners to spend the necessary time to train their dog to be the best that they can be.  Click to view and print a MEMBERSHIP FORM to bring with you to the next meeting.
