NORTHEAST FLAT-COATED RETRIEVER CLUB
The Northeast Flat-Coated Retriever Club is dedicated to working our dogs in the field. Our club has active members pursuing Trials, Hunt Tests, and good old fashioned bird hunting. We believe that for our dogs, field work is the most central expression of the Flat-Coat’s uniqueness. We are most fortunate to have a select group of Field Trialers, the renown Field Goddesses (Bunny, Becky, Margot, Priscilla, and Sally), who along with Mitch Brown (our lone lab Field God) work tirelessly to train dogs and handlers for success at tests and trials. They give their advice, time, encouragement, and access to their land to raise the level of working Flat-Coats. We can’t thank them enough, but we do try to thank them by continuing to work our dogs in field. Typically we offer 8-12 club field training sessions and a seminar each year. Many club members assist with our numerous field events. From the Field Goddesses to hunters to pet owners who just like to have their dogs retrieve a few bumpers, the NEFCRC membership works together to get as many Flat-Coats as possible active in field. The best part of these events is, of course, that we always have a blast. In fact, only the dogs have a better time than we do. Annually we offer a WC/X test, and we will also host a bumper scurry for pups, dogs, and veterans, (10 September, 2007). Nearly annually we celebrate field with our Fun Field Day, a bumper event that tests dogs from puppy to very advanced levels. The stakes are named for both people and dogs that have made Flat-Coat history.

The Flat-Coated Retriever Club of Illinois, founded in 2003, is predominantly composed of members from the state of Illinois, but we welcome members from Wisconsin and other states. The title of our newsletter, Tailfeathers, reflects our commitment to working our dogs in the field. Many members compete in the field at various levels, in both AKC and UKC Hunt Test Programs and in AKC Field Trials. Within the club itself are several training groups who meet regularly with the goal of advancing their dogs in the field arena.
We host an annual WC/WCX test in conjunction with a fun day preceding the test. Last year, we sponsored a field training workshop open to all retriever breeds. Recently, we held a shot flyer day with 18 handlers, 26 dogs and 3 "rounds" of retrieves meant to warm up our dogs for the Spring hunt tests and trials. The dogs may have stayed warm running out for the ducks, but an unusual cold snap kept the humans shivering for the duration, though we do hope to make this an annual event. Many members have joined a hunt club as a group, which provides wonderful opportunities for water work on three ponds. A number of our members use their Flat Coats as hunting companions each Fall in the pursuit of pheasants and ducks. We encourage everyone in our area to join us in the field, and make FCRCI their regional home club.

Our club’s field-related energies this year are directed towards the three days of Specialty field events.
In the past, we have held club fun field days, puppy runs in conjunction with our WC/X test,
field training days, WC/X tests. We have also had a 2 day seminar put on by Mitch White.
As a club under the FCRSA umbrella, part of our purpose statement is to encourage the idea of dual purpose Flat-Coats and to "do all in our power to bring their natural abilities to perfection..." Field Contacts :

The Southern Skies Flat-Coated Retriever Club holds fun/field training days for beginners through advanced at several locations around Florida throughout the year. We have held them in Southeast Florida -Okeechobee, Central Florida- Orlando, Northeast Florida - Jacksonville, and Tampa Florida.
Check our web site at http://www.southernskiesfcrc.org/l for upcoming events.
Due to the heat, the field season in Florida runs September through March each year. We are very fortunate to have many active clubs in our state that hold both AKC tests and UKC tests and monthly training days.
We always welcome and encourage beginners! Field work is fun and your dog will love it! We can help you get started and help find training buddies in your area.
