Does my dog look small? - Labrador Retriever Dogs Chat Forum Board - Dogs, Puppies, Photos, Training, Pictures, Rescue Forums

Hi all,

My dog's around 14 months and for the past few month's i've compared him with other labs on our walks. He seems to be very small for his age! I was wondering what you lot thought and weather it could be something to do with his dog food?

Ignore the yellow glare!

Hi there,

Do you know his height and weight as there is nothing with which to compare him in the photograph.

What were his mum and dad like?

uplander · 02-07-2010, 12:28 PM

He has a beautiful face...

and another year to grow....

Haux · 02-07-2010, 12:35 PM

36kg and sat up he's about 70cm in height

DarwinsMom · 02-07-2010, 01:45 PM

27.5" tall and 80lbs certainly doesn't sound small to me.

Sounds like a great size. What a beautiful dog!!

margeka · 02-07-2010, 02:07 PM

You have a beautiful dog. I love his face.

Also remember that not all pedigree lines mature at the same speed... some dogs will be "full grown" at his age, while slower lines may not fill out til about 2 to even 3 years old. I agree 80 pounds doesnt sound small : )

He's a lovely boy! I would agree he's not small for his age.

nmaho · 02-07-2010, 03:16 PM

I dont think he is that small.

LadyBuckeye · 02-07-2010, 05:23 PM

Not small by any means!

Rocky911 · 02-07-2010, 06:53 PM

36kg sounds good to me, Rocky is about that

ZoeysMommy · 02-07-2010, 07:06 PM

Definately not small, he is a perfect size

afterburnerdogz · 02-07-2010, 07:19 PM

Handsome boy & a good size, definately not too small. He might still put on another 5 kilos.

Sounds like a fine young man to us. Our Dixie is only 65lbs. at 16 months. Her mom was about the same size and the vet said she is just right. I would think the boys tend to be a bit bigger and he seems right on pace.
