Welcome to the San Diego Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. home page. We hope you enjoy your visit! You'll find lots of interesting information about our club and also how to apply for membership. Please be sure to bookmark this page before you leave.
The San Diego Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. (SDLRC) held its first organizational
meeting in February 1996. The Founding Members shared a common interest
in the breed and saw the need to form a regional club in the San Diego
County area. In less than five years the club has grown tremendously
- from the original ten founding members - to a membership of 87 as of
October 2000. The club held it's first Annual Specialty Show in
November 2001.
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 numerous
educational events , including seminars on structure, movement and breeding.
Respected veterinarians and other professionals frequently 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. Every
summer we staff an educational booth at the Del Mar Fair. We also
hold Matches, informational 'Fun Days' for Labrador owners, Canine Good
Citizenship tests, eye clinics, hip and elbow clinics, heart clinics and
conformation handling classes throughout each year.
