The Jersey Skylands Labrador Retriever Club warmly invites you to join us for a fun, relaxed day celebrating teamwork between dogs and their people at our official American Kennel Club Fetch Trial!

June 7, 2026
Lion’s Club Pavilion — 15 Valley Street, Columbia, NJ 07832
Testing Hours: 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Check-in: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Fetch is one of the most enjoyable entry-level dog sports — designed to showcase practical retrieving skills in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Whether your dog is a seasoned retriever or simply loves bringing things back to you in the backyard, this event is a wonderful way to build confidence, strengthen your partnership, and earn AKC titles along the way.

Our trial is welcoming to newcomers and experienced handlers alike, and club members will be on hand to help guide first-time participants. Many dogs earn their very first title here — and many handlers discover a sport they fall in love with!

Come spend the day outdoors, meet fellow dog lovers, and cheer each other on as dogs of all breeds and ages show off their natural retrieving instincts.

We can’t wait to see you in the field!
