Mahelu North Queensland Show Labrador Of The Year
Labrador Retriever Club Of Queensland
Brett and I were delighted when the L.R.C.Q. contacted us to consider sponsoring a perpetual trophy for North Queensland. We agreed, as sponsors of this prestigious trophy it was necessary it reflected our 30 years of involvement with Labradors in Queensland.
Our involvement included conformation showing and obedience trials from Gladstone to Cairns. So this trophy represents this area. Owners of purebred Labrador Retrievers living North of Gladstone (including Gladstone) and are financial members of the Labrador Retriever Club of Queensland are eligible to apply for this award annually.
The trophy is made of stained glass by Michelle - The gum leaves and flowers represent our home in Cawarral, the Green is the colour of our banner, the black Labrador represents our first Lab, the yellow represents the sunsets in Weipa. The labrador is looking to the right and into the future. (The black silhouette and yellow also respresents the L.R.C.Q. Logo).
