Cooper is 2 years and 5 months old and weighs 43.6 kg.....he is a big boy....he had huge paws when he was a puppy....
Yogi is 32 weeks today and weighed in at 72.2 lbs (almost 33 kg) I guess I should join in more conversations, instead of just using this thread as a weight diary of sorts!
Debs, wish Cooper was a "dainty" 22kilos!! He is a bruiser.....but the sweetest, most affectionate chap....but he doesn't realize how big he is! Even though he is 2.5 years old he still squats when he pees!! Isn't that funny? Maisie is beautiful!
My little petite girl is 8 months old today..and weighs a stonking 30.2kgs! Ridiculous..where on earth does she put it?? We checked our other dogs, and they are spot on where I expected them to be...Benson 30.4kgs...fraction heavier than normal, but he did eat a whole tub of Bertoli Olive oil spread at the weekend. Casper 32kgs his usual weight. beautiful bramble 8mths by Marcus Hart, on Flickr
I know! I think it just reinforces the importance of what looks healthy on a dog and not the actual weight. This is a photo I took of Benson a few days ago. He will be three in October. His weight his steady between 29-30 kgs. He is a medium labrador, in terms of size, Pongo towers over him! Type wise sits exactly within the Kennel Club standards for a UK bred labrador. He is a Carpenny show-line bred lab.
Kona was 13,4 kg when she was a week over 4 months. Today, 10 days before her 1st birthday she weights 26,5-27 kg (53 cm tall). Didn't think she would be more than 25, she was a quite small puppy.
Yes her coat is beautiful...like silk. She does get lots of compliments out and about...she has been mistaken for a greyhound x lab though!
She's beautiful...well past Quinn now! Quinn hasn't put much weight on in the last month - she is 23.6kg.
@Rosie I nearly lost your post in this weeks photo's and weight updates (great to see all these updates, especially the images, all handsome or beautiful labrador's). To be honest, when I first found this post I was surprised not to see more gentle giants with Pongo. My previous lab was over the 40kg mark, but considered himself a lap dog, (I am sure you know what I mean). I am writing this reply, and Bear is laying with his head on my feet, not next to my feet, if I was to move my feet, he would have to move again to rest his head on my feet (Bear is maturing so quickly now, and I am really liking the personality that is developing).
I am a bit late updating the graph this week (usually post it a day earlier, it's been a busy week). I weighed Bear yesterday, he is now 24 weeks old, his weight was 30.8kg's. I suspect last weeks figure of just a 700g increase was incorrect (picture me trying to hold a 30kg lab, still in my arms, waiting for the scale to settle), so the graph shows he increased by 2.1kg's this week, but I suspect he was heavier last week. Thank you again to everyone who supplied figures this week, and so many updates, and great pictures!! I noticed that it has been a few pages now since the body shape chart was posted, and given there has been a bit of talk about body shape, I thought I would post an example chart, just in case someone had not heard of these charts. Although in this post body weight is being charted, I think what this thread (started by @Rosie) really shows very well, is that there is no ideal body weight to age for a Labrador (I like looking at the 26 week mark of the graph, there is a good amount of data and a very big spread in weights), and this is why the body shape is the better indicator.
