Rose City Labrador Retriever Club of Portland, Oregon is a 501 (c)(4) nonprofit organization of Labrador Retriever enthusiasts. We are licensed by the American Kennel Club and a member of the Master National Retriever Club. Our membership represents a vast range of involvement in the world of purebred Labradors; from families with a single companion dog and a casual interest in Labrador sporting events to hobby competitors, occasional breeders, weekend sportsmen, and hunters to full-time professional breeders, event competitors, and trainers.
Everyone with a genuine interest in the breed is invited to get to know the Rose City Labrador Retriever Club (RCLRC). We hope that you find our website interesting and informative, and we welcome the opportunity to answer our questions or requests for additional information.

The Rose City Labrador Retriever Club supports our parent club, the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc. in their "Only 3 Colors" effort. The purpose is to educate buyers that recognized coat colors for purebred Labrador Retrievers are only black, yellow, and chocolate. Buyers are led to believe that dogs with silver or dilute coat color are desirable, purebred, and rare, and justify a premium purchase price. Let's help get the message out that these dogs are not!
