Be careful calling him a "machine", some people don't like dogs that are "robots" on here

"machine"
Don't mean it like he is a robot. He is a meat dog. I don't do dog trials or anything I just want my dog to pick up ducks and be obedient. What I meant was he is just a very strong dog that has a LOT of energy and is big. He was weighed at his 1 year check up and was 98 lbs. I think he will probly be closer to 120 - 130 lbs now.

So how old is this dog? Was it born in 98? He would be 14? |

Well the papers my uncle screwed up in 98' were from this dog's great grandparents. He was born 6/2010.

OFA #, EIC, CNM, thyroid?? Good choco dogs are hard to find with clearances.

Why?
Why would you be mad? I like the fact that he is big. He can get through anything (marsh, rice field) faster than a small lab. And when he retrieves a goose he doesn't have any trouble. He could probably retrieve my deer if i taught him to. I think the only downside is that they tend to not live as long when they are bigger but i have seen a big lab live 10 years. It always has baffled me the way people in this area always want small labs. What's the advantage?

What's the advantage of a HUGE lab? I guess if it will drag deer to the truck that's an advantage but I've never seen one do dat. A normal sized 75-80lb male lab can do all your fat dawg can do AND run circles around it. Not to mention, I ain't puttin a man sized dog in my pirogue with me. I have seen 55lb female labs fetch geese all day long. |

I think that he is trying to say that the result of breeding dogs that are unregistered and not even close to the breed standards are usually neglected dogs tied to a tree in someones back yard living in a mud hole. You may be able to place a couple of these pups in responsible homes but most responsible people looking to purchase a labrador want registered dogs with health clearances.
