Affiliated with the American Kennel Club, the club is committed to the preservation, promotion, and celebration of the Labrador Retriever. Its membership is comprised of individuals who share a profound passion for the breed, ranging from casual owners to dedicated breeders.
Core Mission and Objectives
The primary mission of the LRCGD is to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of pure-bred Labradors. The club strives to demonstrate the inherent versatility, trainability, and beauty of the breed through various educational and competitive avenues. By providing training and resources, the club helps members deepen their knowledge of the breed while maintaining high standards of care.
Activities and Events
The LRCGD is highly active in the canine community, sponsoring a wide array of events that showcase the Labrador's capabilities. These include:
- Regional specialty shows and obedience trials.
- Hunt tests and working certificate programs.
- B-OB matches and field training classes.
- Community-focused educational events.

Breeding Standards and Ethics
While not all members are breeders, those who are must adhere to a strict club-sponsored Breeder's Code of Ethics. This code mandates rigorous standards regarding health clearances, proper registration, and overall care. The club emphasizes that its breeders are dedicated to improving the breed through thoughtful, limited breeding programs rather than mass production. For those seeking a new companion, the LRCGD provides a professional Puppy Referral Service to connect prospective owners with reputable breeders who prioritize the health and well-being of their dogs.
