SSAA WGAA UFR
The SSAA United Field and Retrieving Branch Inc. (UFR) was formed in July 2007 under the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia’s umbrella, by a dedicated group of gundog enthusiasts keen to keep retrieving trials in Queensland going and more importantly….growing.
Some of our members have been competing in retrieving trials for over 30years and have vast experience in training gundogs and competing in retrieving trials both in Queensland and Interstate.
At UFR we strive to make our competitions a friendly and social environment where our competitors can not only compete whilst having fun with their canine companions, but also enjoy the comradery and friendships that develop with people of similar interests.
