Shawn Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 hey all, my chocalate lab will be 4 months old on Febuary 1st. He already weighs 50 POUNDS! Hes not fat by any means, still curves in by back hips. He's just growing so fast i know his mother was in her 90s and his father was over 100 lbs..How big do you think hes gonna get?

TexasDeerHunter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: question for lab owners.... Your guess is as good as any, mine started out like that and then he leveled out. He is 3 now and weighs about 75-80 lbs. You need to watch his diet because large breeds like labs can become overweight in a hurry and it is bad for their health just as it is for humans.

JimPic Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: question for lab owners.... My female Choc weighs in at 125#--I'd like to get her down to about 100#.Her momma was 95# and the daddy was 115#.Watch the diet--they are known for overeating if you let them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterfowler_gal Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: question for lab owners.... Shawn, I own three labs and even though when picking out a pup you take into consideration the size of the parents and their background you can never be certain. I am assuming from the info on the parents your new pup will be big. Usually when I hit the 6 month range I will take them off the pup food and get use to feeding them once a day in the afternoon. You want to make sure the puppy gets all the nutrients and excersize it needs. Good luck with your pup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My chocolate is in great shape and ways almost 85 pounds, she did have 2 litters years ago 21 total pups but it does not slow her down she comes on the ATV, on the snowmobile and always in the car.

dogdoc Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Re: question for lab owners.... since both parents are pretty good size labs my guess would be he should be close to the same size as his daddy. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
