The SDLRC is a not-for-profit club and in November, 2000, became fully licensed by the American Kennel Club (AKC).  Membership is comprised of breeders, AKC exhibitors and Labrador Retriever owners wishing to learn more about this wonderful breed.  The club has adopted a Code of Ethics to be followed by all members and which may also serve as a guide to others concerned with the welfare of the breed.


The purpose of our club is to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Labrador Retrievers, to educate Labrador owners and to facilitate participation in a variety of dog related activities.  We hold educational events, including seminars on structure, movement and breeding.  Respected veterinarians and other professionals speak at club general meetings about topics ranging from current vaccination protocols, hereditary canine eye problems, acupuncture, massage therapy, cardiac and orthopedic diseases and legal issues that breeders face.  We hold Matches, eye clinics, hip and elbow clinics, heart clinics and conformation handling classes throughout each year.
