They are working dogs and are supposed to be continually active. It’s their lack of activity that makes them portly.

Funny. My ex didn’t look like a Labrador.

I think all my dogs must be Labradors.

Among many other things, my Buddy’s black lab ate a paring knife.
Luckily, handle first.

Where’s the black lab, yellow lab, chocolate lab, meth lab pic?

Greed? If they insist on labeling a genetic predisposition to overeat as a vice, they could at least get the right one: “gluttony”.
To: Jonty30
Uh, NO open feeding for Labs....

My Lab is hardwired as a con artist to get me to give him treats at any cost.
To: MtnClimber
I’m still working on training the cat to be a Lab....

One of our black labs years ago pulled a sock off my foot one evening when we were playing and swallowed the sucker before I could get up and get it away from him.
Called the vet and he said if it doesn’t go thru him by tomorrow evening bring him in the next morning. It went thru. Had to be careful after that. LOL!

My GSD is definitely not food focused. Her focus is love and fun... given no distractions.

Younger kid has a lab mix puppy and he’s definitely got the “I want more food” thing down pat. A regular feeding schedule of a consistent amount (and daily exercise) keeps him in the proper shape.
To: The_Media_never_lie
Same. My black lab used to steal dark chocolate candies and the plant thrlet wrapper on the beagles dog bed. Took months to get wise to it. He was never portly however.

If you overfeed a Lab, they get fat. As mentioned, this is not the breed where you offer free choice, self serve food.
