The Murray River Retriever Association Volunteer Committee Members
About the Association
The Association was started in 2010 as the Murray River Curly Coated Retriever Association, after Murray owners came together in an online group. The first meeting was held on 13 June 2010.
The Murray River Curly Coated Retriever Association was incorporated in Victoria in 2012. The name was changed in 2015 to the Murray River Retriever Association Incorporated, to avoid any confusion between the Australian developed Murray River Retriever and the English Curly Coated Retriever. The dog register in its current form began in 2014.
The club is also on Facebook: see Social Media for its groups.
The Committee
The Committee helps guide and support the Association, with all members generously volunteering their time. Here you can find out a little about who we are, what we do and where we're based.
Whether you have a question about puppies, rehoming or your membership, you'll find helpful forms throughout our website. Using these forms is often the easiest way to get your enquiry to the right person, so we can get back to you as soon as possible.
