In November 2005, a small group of individuals made the decision to create an International repository of information and documents about Labrador Retrievers unlike any ever attempted before. This huge project - created through individual donations of money, time and effort - has developed into the LabraDataBase.

The comprehensive database utilizes advanced technology and is directly available via a web-based application. That means that anyone can view the entire, up-to-the-minute database from any Internet connection in the world at any time. For those of you who are return visitors to this website, you will notice ongoing changes - some even from one day to the next. The format is designed to be user-friendly, but may require a bit of browsing for first-time users to become accustomed to the placement of all the features.

While we cannot provide instant modifications to information you submit on-line, our Data Operators update the system frequently to keep it as correct and current as possible. Our hope is that by seeing the amazing capabilities of this system, you will be eager to not only participate, but to correct, update and add information that is missing. Only with complete data can we provide the information necessary for researchers to adequately study our wonderful Labrador Retrievers and their genetic diseases.
