He/She should be heavy than expected when you pick them up and a little on chubby side as he is growing but a dogs are different and when you go for your next vet injection at 12 weeks they will way him for you.
A mixture of both is what I would do. You should really be working on both leash training and fetching at 4.5 months old. Bare in mind that a Labrador should be getting at least 5 minutes of exercise for every month old it is.
A Labrador's first heat will be from 6-8 months old. They will go into heat for 3-4 weeks, twice a year.
knowing that the first 8 weeks of life labradors tend to gain about 2 pounds/week. So by the 8th week they should be 12-16 pounds females puppies weigh a little lesser than males. By 6 months (24 weeks) the growth has consistently proceeded the same way so approximately the female labrador should be 50-60 pounds. This is an estimation not quiet exact but roughly the labrador should be around that weight.
Your Labrador male dog should start barking at strangers when it is at least 12 months old.
It can really vary on the length of time before a Labrador retriever puppy can be removed from their mother. Most of the time it should be six to eight weeks before they can even be given out.
You need to take your dog to the vet, now!
Yes, Labrador just like all other dogs will bark at strangers. It will start barking when it 8 weeks old.Labrador just like the other types of dogs will begin barking at strangers when it is at least 8 weeks old.
You can buy one as soon as it is old enough to leave its mother which is anywhere from 8-10 weeks.
they should weight about 90-100 pound.
