Club Mission


The Winnebago Labrador Retriever Club (WLRC) is an AKC licensed club that was designed to encourage and promote the quality of pure-bred Labrador Retrievers and to highlight the versatility, trainability and beauty of the breed.


The Club's mission is to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by promoting quality breeding, encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials, hunting retriever tests and other performance events and education in the qualities and responsibilities of Labrador Retriever ownership.


WLRC conducts licensed specialty shows, obedience trials, rally trials, agility trials, FAST CAT and hunting retriever tests under the rules of the American Kennel Club.

TRUE LABRADOR RETRIEVERS ARE
BLACK, YELLOW, AND CHOCOLATE ONLY!


The Issue of the Silver Labrador
Frances O Smith, DVM, PhD Chair, Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. Genetics Committee


It is the opinion of the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc., the AKC parent club for the breed, that a silver Labrador is not a purebred Labrador retriever. The pet owning public is being duped into believing that animals with this dilute coat color are desirable, purebred and rare and, therefore, warrant special notoriety or a premium purchase price.
