What did your lab weigh at 6 months?

[Ray Esboldt]

My wife took our 6 month old lab in for her spay job this morning. They weighed her before the festivities began. My wife relayed the news, and I broke into a cold sweat. She doesn't even look very big, so the weight kind of shocked me.

So, before I fret that this dog is going to be of Godizalla proportions, I want to know what your lab weighed at 6 months. Make or female, let me know. I'm hoping that fears will be eased.

Male chocolate lab - probably 60# or slighly under. He now weighs around 80# at 13 months. If I recall correctly, around 6 months of age, his weight gained slowed.

Ray - What is the weight of your female lab?

I think my Yellow Male was in the 50 lb range at 6 mo's. He REALLY slowed down the growth at about 7-8 months. Almost completely done it seems and he's only 9+ months...

My female lab, Libby, weighed 57 lbs. She is now 15 months and she weighs 62 lbs. She has been as 62lbs. since she was 7 1/2 months old.

OK. Good, she's 53 pounds. So, she's not way out of line. I feel better now.

My male yellow was 65# at 6 months now he just turned 12 and is over 110! Wasn't quite what I wanted but hey now I have a better reason to buy more field goose decoys

My male black lab weighed 55lbs at 6 months, he now weighs in at 95lbs he is 6 yrs old.

Ray, her sister weighs in at about 45 pounds. Very solid after 4 trips to the Dakotas. Sounds like the one in Alaska is a hair bigger. Keep an eye on the HSOforum for an upcoming litter. We drop Choards off Friday for her last breeding.

Bryce,

I take the littlest pup of the litter and end up with the biggest one. She actually doesn't look that big. She's just a solid ball of muscle. By the way, I probably owe you and Melissa some pictures.

I can't say enough about this dogs natural ability. In our field training, she goes from puppy to big dog as soon as her nose picks up the scent of whatever I have hidden. She listens better than I ever thought she would at 6 months, and is an absolute sweetheart. Anyone that is looking for a pup should get in touch with Bryce right now. I'll never be sorry that I took one of Bryce's pups.

Thanks again, Bryce.

dont know what my male black lab weighed at 6 months, but he is now almost 5 years old and the most recent vet visit 3 months ago the vet said he is a poster dog for a black lab for porportions, mass, hips, ect,, weighed in at 74.5 lbs., said you cant get closer to perfect than he already is. I was shocked cause alot of people have told me he is way too skinny. i just always said that he has no fat, just muscle.. Ill try to post a pic soon of him if anyone wants to see.
