Brisbane Royal
Since the early 1900's the Brisbane Royal (affectionately known as the Ekka)
has been the biggest event on the Queensland Canine calendar.
Each year more almost 3,000 Pedigreed dogs compete for what is widely regarded by many
as the pinnacle - a Royal Best in Show award.
Labrador Retrievers have featured regularly at the top level of Brisbane Royal
Competition with our breed taking the covetted Best In Show trophy on a number of occasions.
On "Labrador Day" the LRCQ Inc. hosts a hospitality table for local and visitting exhibitors.
It provides a unique opportunity for Labrador enthusiasts to meet, greet and catch up on news.
With 3,000 dogs being exhibitted across a 10 day period it is easy to understand why
different breeds are "in attendance" on different days - no two days of competition are the same.
The year 2011 was a sad occassion for regular attendees at The Brisbane Royal.
Our dog show exhibition centre "The Douglas Wadley Pavilion" will
be demolished to make way for the new Ekka Development.
We just don't know yet exactly what will be provided in it's place.
Please visit again in early August 2012 for an update about the dog show arrangements.
