The club is dedicated to the health and welfare of the Labrador Retriever breed while conserving the original breed function – that of a “working retriever.” A purebred dog offers to his owner the likelihood that he will be a specific size, shape, colour and temperament. The predictability of a breed comes from selection for traits that are desirable and away from traits that are undesirable.
