Well, as it so happens, I have a lovely example for you here . . . a very tiny person for a purebred Lab (42 pounds) but full of energy . . .
Obviously, I can't report on her efficacy as a chick magnet, but she is a real "people dog" and adores everybody, and they (mostly) adore her (some people object to being fawned on and kissed, can't imagine why).
Your choc lab is adorable! : )
The Chocolate we had years ago was smaller also - but she got fat after her first and only litter (mated with a yellow and had all black), one puppy was too big, and she was unable to have any more.
We got her from a woman whose husband took off to Hawaii with another woman , we paid $25 for her but no papers. All the puppies and adults were all chocolate so we knew she wasn't a one off like some chocolates.
She loved getting into our Mallards pens and chasing, grabbing and then swimming in their tub with them in her mouth. She only killed one and then learned not to be so rough.
I still miss her, but now have a big dark reddish Golden girl to spoil.
