the choco lab needs to go on a diet

what are you feeding that dog?

[smurfy45]

She does not need to go on a diet!; This is a well bred 'chunky good boned lab', with a beautiful square head and excellent confirmation; anyone who knows about labs would understand.

[jbage007]

sorry, but "chunky" is NOT part of the breed conformation (it's not confirmation but conformation)

and yes, I AM someone who knows about labs--which is precisely why I pointed it out

[smurfy45]

I understand your interest in pointing out your opinion,but in the UK,especially where I live a lab with good bone structure & with good conformation is very highly thought of & in great demand- we refer to them as 'chunky' labs-its not claimed to be part of their breed its a term...

[smurfy45]

...Any top labrador breeders refer to their pups as 'well bred chunky labs'.The slim line lab strains are not so popular here.Maybe where you live the slimmer labs are more popular and any weight or bone on a lab is a bad thing.

[nigga62089]

is it true the color of the labs matches their personalities compared to the colors of humans?

i.e. the white labs= conservative , yellow= very smart usually doctors, black= mischievous, potentially a biter, and the chocolates= mid of the pack?

[smurfy45]

I dont really think so, personalities are alot to do with the genes from the parents with a small factor coming from colour. Its true that certain colours have certain characteristics but I find that the main difference comes between the 'show/family bred lab' to the 'gundog/working bred labs, with differences in excitability and endurance, opposed to the relaxed family lab.

So cute! Beautiful Labs!

@smurfy45 i agree! there are two different types of labradors. There is the american style which is the taller leaner build labrador, then there is the english stye labrador, which is shorter and stalker. The english have more of a rounder bigger head alsom while american had a more narrower head. With that being said the lab in this video is the english build labrador :)

@nigga62089 with a username of yours i can expect you to say something stupid like this. Its sad

[bangbangmcgee]

@smeghead666 i didnt mean it was literaly a puppy by the way. im just sayin that you dont need to blurt out "hey your dog needs to go on a diet". the dog looks fine and happy. but i do agree if the dog was bigger then something should be done.but it looks fine the way it is now. thats all.

Sorry the last two comments were a reply back to a person I had a conversation with last night. the name was meant to show up at the top, but hasn't.

[Wifflewaff]

Actually mum just reminded me this morning that the video of bronson running in the paddock was taken two years ago, he is although still at 58kilo with a huge chest, he has toned down around the stomach and is looking quite good. Stay tuned a new and improved toned down bronnie chops will be on the wifflewaff screen soon.

I am not here this morning to have a full on debate again, but just wondering how you can make a judgement on seeing one video of maggie and assume that she is not walked every day. You don't know what maggie's exercise regime is. She may well be walked everyday. You can't tell this from looking at a 5 minute video. For a person who goes to uni, do you walk your dog everyday or does someone else walk them for you? and who is home for your dog half the time when your not home?

[Wifflewaff]

@smurfy45 yep, we sure do. We have had three labradors all together now, our recent two are chunky good boned and well proportioned labradors. Maggie is well in proportion. And anyway why can't people like us lab owners just enjoy our labradors as they are and put on our video's of our furry kids without being critisised every step of the way. We are not at a strict dog show here people.

[Wifflewaff]

Again smurfy45, your dog maggie is extremely gorgeous, don't let anyone lead you to beleive that maggie is overweight. I hope that your labradors are having loads of fun as they did in this video and that you enjoy every moment with them.
