A little update on my 7month old lab!!

[Dizzydancer]

He is now quite big although lots of people think he is a cross as he isnt the chunky monkey type!! Here are a few pics of him what do you think??

first proper swim

He does not look like a cross to be and looks perfectly slender, not often you see nice slender labs, they are more commonly obese his coat is lovely too, shiny. Lovely looking boy.

Thanks! Yes we don't want a fat lab so we are strict on what he eats! Except when he goes to my parents they can't help but treat him.

Gaw-juss

Max-i-Moo is a skinny Lab and people always comment on him - threy are just too used to seeing fat ones.....

 

[lilyoftheincas]

Oooooh he is gorgeous! So nice to see a slim lab once in a while

 

[Dizzydancer]

I think he is rather gorgeous but Im biased. Although he agrees

 

[Dobiegirl]

He is in excellent condition and a credit to you.

As a working dog IMO thats exactly what they should look like! We have a 3 year old bitch and she is lean and mean and people always comment - like has been said on here, people think fat is normal.

hes lovely, how nice to see a lab who is the right weight .....

 

[Dizzydancer]

Thank you. Yes i always think a lab should have a waist. He is however pure muscle so hoping he won't be too big or im going have serious biceps! He is good on lead but always pulls to meet other dogs!

He is absolutely adorable and just right, labs particularly from working lines aren't as chunky and there is no need for them to be fat!

Here is our boy, dripping wet at 18 months!

 

[Dizzydancer]

He is stunning hope my boy looks like that in 10months time.

 

[burtie]

Aww, thank you. I reckon your boy will grow up to be a stunner too! I hope I can continue to keep him fit and slim, I'm lucky in that he can come out with the horse which helps a lot and he loves it. He does however spend most of the ride jumping in and out of every bog, puddle, river, ditch and anything vaguely wet or muddy we come across, I'm glad I got a black one

 

[CAYLA]

Well even the show types should not be as obese as they are in most cases, folk tend to use that and an excuse for obeseness (it's a show type it is supposed to be fat)
They should all be nice an lean
Again OP you boy is super

 

[FestiveBoomBoom]

Lovely example of a working lab, he's gorgeous! Going to be a big boy too (tall)

 

[Dizzydancer]

Yes i think he will be tall! All leg and has been all his life. His mum was tall too so it was expected
