I’m sure you’re right about Buster. He has a nasty bark and he’s very, very fast. I’m guessing his bloodline isn’t too great due to one ear being slightly out of line and both ears seem a little short, to me. That and he’s 11.5 lbs. whereas minis should be less than 9 lbs.

I’m thinking the dog behind us must be a yellow lab. He’s huge. The Weimeraners I’ve seen that I knew were ‘good’ were just a bit shorter but not as bulky, more graceful for lack of a better way to put it. Some labs I’ve seen would outweigh Weimeraners by at least 10-20 lbs.

I like big dogs but I’m allergic to dogs. Buster’s coat is very soft and he’s sensitive to even one flea so he’s good for me.

There is a lot of variation in size among Labs, as well as in their weight.

I have probably the smallest Lab I've ever seen - she's 20 inches at the shoulder and 45 pounds soaking wet. That AKC hunt test we went to there were probably 250 dogs, and any Lab there could have given her 20 pounds or more. A friend of mine keeps trying to buy a small Lab, but all his dogs just grow like weeds - the smallest one is 95 pounds!
