The Pointing Lab originated long
before it was a recognized breed in the United States. This breed
has the abilities of a standard retrieving labrador, and the natural
ability to point birds as well. Mayo Kellogg as the Ducks
Unlimited Magazine Columnist, wrote many articles describing and
popularizing the breed prior to any certification.
The International Pointing Labrador Association (IPLA) first recognized
the pointing lab as a certifiable breed in September 1989. On
September 8-9 1989 the IPLA held their first Certification Test at
Funkrest Game Farm in Madison, South Dakota. In this first
certification eleven dogs were tested and nine received certification.
These certifications were just testing the natural ability of the
labradors being tested to point birds. In 1992 the American Pointing
Labrador Association (APLA) was formed to test trained adult dogs.
The IPLA and APLA now serve as sister corporations in certifying
Pointing Labradors. The list of certifications by the APLA is as
follows:
