Welcome to the home page of the Labrador Retriever Kennel Club in South Africa. We are affiliated to the Kennel Union of Southern Africa (KUSA) and the LRKC is the only dog club dedicated exclusively to the interests of Labrador Retrievers in South Africa.

We are not just here for the specialist breeder, show exhibitor or obedience and field trial competitor, but also for the pet owner who has a passion for the well-being of Labrador Retrievers.

We also offer a highly successful “RE-HOMING” service for Labrador Retrievers in need.

We are a very active dog club so visit ourCLUB ACTIVITIES page to find out what our schedule of events are. You are most welcome to meet some of our members and their Labradors, or visit our “CHAT ROOM” and tell us about your joys or concerns about the breed, or join in one of the discussion groups.

Why not getting to know the breed better and how to best care for the special needs of the Labrador Retriever by joining the LRKC? Look for a member in your area on the “MEMBERS” page to chat and get more information. We publish an electronic newsletter, the LRKC Bulletin every 2 months as well as a club magazine, LAB LINES, with loads of information about LRKC events, results of competitions held by the club and a wealth of information about the breed, its health and well-being.

LET WEL: Navrae in Afrikaans is ook baie welkom

Die meeste van ons huidige komiteelede is Afrikaanssprekend en so ook baie van ons klublede - moet dus asseblief nie omdat alles op die oomblik hier op die webwerf in Engels is, huiwer om ons te kontak nie. Ons praat graag in Afrikaans oor Labradors. Terloops, die Afrikaans vir Retriever is "Apporteerhond". So, as u 'n Afrikaanssprekende Labrador Apporteerhond het, is u ook baie welkom in hierdie klub!
