Narrative:

After departing ZZZ on climb out; experienced total failure of right hydraulic system. Declared emergency and followed company's emergency procedures. Performed an emergency extension of the landing gear and made a flaps 28 degree landing at ZZZ. We stopped on the runway to allow emergency personnel to look at the aircraft and ground personnel to pin the landing gear. The gear doors remained extended on landing where 'rub strips' contacted the runway on rollout. Attempts to fully retract the gear doors after landing were unsuccessful but they were raised enough to allow towing to the gate. We were towed to the gate where all passenger and crew deplaned with no injuries and no apparent major damage to the aircraft.
