The Labrador Club of Western Australia (Inc)
Established in 1959, the Labrador Club of Western Australia (Inc) is the oldest single breed club in Western Australia. The club is dedicated to the health and welfare of the Labrador.
We are 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.

The LRCWA conducts a number of retrieving trials each year, as well as a championship conformation show (where dogs can win points towards their Australian Championship Title) and an open conformation show (which gives a trainee judge the opportunity to judge our gorgeous breed). Many of our members and their dogs also regularly participate in obedience, agility and tracking trials.
