      Gorgeous! Labradors have such lovely temperaments too.

        Nice dogs.
        Labs seem much smaller these days, when I was a kid we had a really big one.

          Lovely dogs @Ian Taylor ...

          They look like they'd make good Gun Dogs...

          I think the secret with labs is to keep them lean.:thumbsup:

          I have a colleague who recently got a Labradoodle, and he showed me her photo today (complete with certificate for her passing out of puppy school) - another beautiful dog. They are so intelligent.

              Interesting link @Upsydaisy daisy , but I'm still confused.
              Ours was taller but also bulkier, ok I think she was a bit over fed;), but definitely a bigger frame than the ones you tend to see now.

              This was back in the late 50s and she came as a pup from a farm not far away.:smile:

                    Meg is small for a Lab we think she his from Gun Dog breeding stock has when she's chasing a ball she's like a whippet.
                    She has a lovely temperament with my 1 year old grandson.
                    Sherlock we got at 15 months old had very little training he was 40 kgs when we got him he is big for a lab, he reminds me a lot of one of the Labradors we had when I was in Afghanistan.
                    He is getting a lot better but he's very head strong.
