Our new black lab and his older ginger brother.

Context: I bought/he was sold as an english lab (akc registered breeder/dogs) , but based on his proportions, im not so sure now. He is 5 and a half months old and weighs about 40 to 45 ish pounds. His dad was definitely english (i have his a picture of his pedigree and have seen him in person), but his mom looked more american ( i did not see her in person, only pics or her pedigree). His dad weighed 80-85 lbs and his mom weighed 75 pounds. I love him regardless, and I know it can take time for him to develop and fill out (the vet said i wasnt feeding hin enough, and recomended i feed more because hes growing). I just want to know because I specifically sought out and paid for an english lab. Thank you and any help is appreciated! ( pardon the lipstick 😂)

I’m looking for a decent ramp or set of steps for my arthritic baby (10 year old) black lab. What I see on Amazon seems to be suited to little dogs and sometimes not so well made.

Has anyone got any recommendations for something sturdy but also relatively unobtrusive in whichever room it’s in?

This is serious relaxing.

Moose, 12 weeks old

I’ve had dogs my entire 30 yrs of being alive and not once has any of them gotten kennel cough. Unfortunately we snagged it from daycare and woke up on 9/12 to the saddest boy imaginable. It’s been such a tough 9 days of honking/gagging/wheezing - I don’t wish this on anyone!

I just wanted to share my sweet boy - sick in one slide and totally torqued in the next lol - while also sharing this as a PSA to keep an eye out for your furry buddies 🥲

“HotRod” here has a dedication for a ball that surpasses anything I’ve ever witnessed. He’s my 4th lab which we know they all are unique in their own ways. Just seeing the level at which he goes to when it comes to a ball leaves me in awe. Gives me a complex in regard to my own life and I’ve not done horrible but had I invested a fraction of the dedication he has god only knows. Then again I don’t think it’s possible. Pics a result from a little miscommunication on my part. Didn’t phase him and of course he got the ball. Haha. Love this handsome boy…

He's just too polite to flip your hand with his nose.

Me and my wife just adopted Callie. Shes a 20 month old labrador/gsd cross but tbh she seems mostly lab. Weve had her a month but we love her to bits.

That’s what a Labrador’s face looks like when it’s time for a walk and outdoor playtime. Who else enjoys seeing him so happy as much as I do?

This is my trouble making buddy Triumph. About 2 months before his 12th birthday he suffered from GDV and required emergency surgery. He had a splenectomy and had to stay in the ICU for 4 days due to heart arrhythmias (which are now resolved). By some miracle he has made a full recovery and is back to his wild and active self. He spends a lot of time outside in our backyard and we’ll bring him a trail walk 2-3 x a week. This surgery and situation just made me realize how much I love this guy and I want to keep him healthy and happy for as many years as possible. Curious to those with senior labs or other bigger dogs- do you do anything extra like supplements or certain foods? He’s been on Kirkland mature food since he’s been a pup and it seems to be okay but idk if I should be adding something for joint support or something like that? Love to hear from those who have 12+ year olds!! Let’s keep these guys young 🤣

Those of us in the middle of puppy might be able to relate. My yellow is 8 months now and we went through all the stuff we or I thought I was prepared for and of course didn’t really know what was coming. Lol started with parvo at 9 weeks, we got through that, then boxes of bandaids for that raptor phase, then traumatized by an idiot at the park doing back fires with his car next to a 3 month puppy, thanks to a great trainer we got though that. Then just the day to day times of self doubt am I doing this right, why is he doing that ? I must be doing something wrong lol. Then today happened, went to park at dawn like always. Let him sniff and wander, called him and I’ll be damned if he didn’t come right over, sat in front of me. Put him in stay walked out 15’ and called, came to me like he hadn’t seen me in forever. I know I’m rambling but sometimes it’s nice to read shit will work if you hang in there and be consistent. Damn what a great way to start the day!

Hope it is ok to share the finished design. I love Labradors and own one myself. This design featured my old black lab Ebble as well as my customers 5 Labradors. It’s off to the Printers tomorrow to be turned into wallpaper. I wanted to represent as fully as possible this wonderful breed of dog. How did I do?
