The forming of the
Atlantic Labrador Retriever Club began as a concept by a few
enthusiasts of the breed in 1994. On December 10th, 1994, the
first meeting was held in
Moncton, NB and, among other issues, the first draft of the
Club's constitution was
presented and the Charter Executive was formed.
The ALRC applied for CKC
recognition in May 1995 and the final approved draft of the
Club's Constitution was submitted. Sanction matches in
Conformation and Obedience
were held in November 1995 in Saint John, NB and February 1996 in
Enfield, NS.
Entitling the ARLC to hold CKC events thereafter.
The first events held by
the ALRC took place in August 1997, with the Club's 1st
Specialty
show. These events were held in conjunction with the Halifax
Kennel Club shows and
included conformation, obedience and working (field)
competitions. The ALRC has
maintained the mandate to hold all these events on an annual
basis ever since.
The ALRC hosted the
Labrador Retriever Club of Canada National Specialty in 1998
Saint John, NB and in 2006 in Fredericton, NB.
