Labrador Retrievers

Labrador Retrievers can be expected to grow to between 22 and 25 inches for males, and 21 and 24 inches for females.

In some cases. Most people with dog allergies are allergic to the dog's spit and/or dander (white skin flakes). The nice thing about a properly maintained coat on a Lab is that the skin and coat are quite oily and shiny, so there is much less flaking of dander than in some other breeds. However, overwashing a Lab or using a harsh shampoo would cause drying of the skin and thus dander. Healthy skin and coat oil levels can be encouraged by using salmon oil supplements for the lifetime of the dog as well as using the mildest possible shampoos and bathing the dog only once a month at most (relying on brushing the rest of the time).

For someone with severe allergies, no dog--not even a Lab--is a good option, so you have to weigh your own situation in consultation with your doctor and a vet knowledgable about Lab coats.

labrador is the best ever from dalmition and dalmition is very bad dog

Well, a Golden Retriever can grow to be a little over 3.5ft. A Black Lab can grow about the same height, but a lab I believe would weigh a little lighter than a Retriever would. A mix of a Black Lab and a Golden Retriever would grow to be about 3.5 ft. tall and weigh about 100 lbs. Please comment if you disagree, thanks!(:

All dogs are Canis lupus familiaris, so all dogs are in the genus Canis.

my lab had 15 pups 9 black 6 chocolate and 9 boys and 6 girls in Auckland New Zealand every vet a talk to havnt heard of a lab having more in 1 litter

they should weight about 90-100 pound.

That all depends on what you want in terms of sheddinng, size, freindlyness, etc. Most labs are relatively the same in size and mostly all friendly though. Just go check some out and see what you like.

But I can't check them out I haven't told my parents I'm getting a dog yet I have to earn their trust and then I'll tell them I want one.

well then. research on the internet or wait until you ask your parents and discuss it with them

The first Comfort Retriever was created by a Golden Retriever breeder who had wished for years that there was a smaller variation of Golden Retriever so that even owners that preferred smaller dogs could enjoy a Golden Retriever. In 2003 the first litter was produced. This breeding was done by Kathy Burgess in Kentucky. The first two litters were composed of Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel. When temperament issues occurred the Cocker Spaniel was discontinued from the breeding program. All further litters were composed only of Golden Retriever and Poodle.

The Miniature Golden Retriever is not a purebred; rather, it is a specific type of mixed-breed dog or crossbreed. As such, it is not accepted for registration by recognized registries of purebred dogs.

Miniature Golden Retrievers composed only of Golden Retriever and Poodle can be registered with the Designer Dog Kennel Club (DDKC). They registered the first Miniature Golden Retriever July 21 2009.

Since the first Miniature Golden Retriever was produced and registered other breeders have started calling their dogs Miniature Golden Retrievers, despite the dogs having different breed combinations from the original Miniature Golden Retriever. Breeders have found other hybrid registries that will register their dogs as Miniature Golden Retrievers.

Miniature Golden Retrievers composed of Golden Retriever and (an unknown cross) can be registered with the Dog Registry of America (DRA)..

Miniature Golden Retrievers composed of 50% or more a golden retriever, up to 25% poodle, American Cocker Spaniel or other spaniel breed can be registered with the Certified Pet Registry (CPR).

Please be aware that since the registries have different definitions for Miniature Golden Retrievers any potential owner should ask what the hybrid is composed of. A dog registered with CPR could have no poodle and therefore none of the poodle intelligence, temperament, hypo-allergenic and reduced shedding attributes. The dog would also be composed of one or more types of spaniel. The types of spaniel used in the breeding should be researched so the potential owner will understand the impact of the dog's intelligence, temperament, health issues and other attributes. Please research those breeds.

I had a chow chow that suffered with hot spots during the summer they look like big blisters that oozes liquid. When they are healing they scab over but you have to watch the dog because they will reopen it. I know how you feel, it was a horrible site on my Candy Cane. I would keep her shaved all over except her head and tail.

either 3,000 or 16 oh yep its definitely 16

Well it actually depends on the skin conditions sometimes. Short haired and long haired dogs shed, but I would say that golden retriever's shed the least. I have had one in the past and I didn't have much of a problem with her.

Between 2-3.5 years while you're waiting plant some watermelon

I'm pretty sure all dogs have a dewclaw on each front foot.

Mia, my American Chocolate Labrador was 45lbs at 5 months. She was also growing a bit faster than the average Lab, she was 23" tall at 5 months.

She is currently 52lbs and 24" tall at 6 months.

More than anything, just make sure they are maintaining a healthy weight and getting exercise. You should be able to clearly see their waist from the side and top. You should also be able to feel their ribcage, but not see it.

Yes. Yellow labrador retrievers usually have white toenails. Some may have black toenails depending on the genes.

You do not need to walk a Labrador. As long as the dog is getting regular exercise, you do not need to walk it. However, if the dog does not get that exercise it should be walked at least once a day.

Dog pant no only because they are hot but could also be a sign of a health problem. Some cold weather dogs seem to pant more than others. Be sure your dog has fresh cold water at all times.

It depends on the breed there are a number of scorpions which are black or dark coloured. The most common pet scorpion is the emperor scorpion which is used in many movies. This one is actually one of the most docile of the species and its sting is comparable to a bees sting. How ever having said this all stings are potentially harmful if the person being stung is allergic to bee sting or is a sickly character so be careful and avoid handling them either way. Hope this helps. sam x

Black Labs stop the majority of their growing after the first year. They will continue to grow until they are about 2 years old, but at a much slower pace. After two, they continue to fill out and build muscle mass.

is the person that asked this question stupid or something every type of milk is white or whitish yellow. Cows milk is white. Goats milk is white. OUR MILK IS WHITE!!!!!!!!!!

A child with serious asthma ought not to have a dog at all. Labs don't shed as much dander as other breeds if their skin and coats are kept healthy (Lab skin and fur is naturally oily, so it shouldn't be bathed too often to keep dander low), but they are not hypoallergenic.

This is a characteristic of an English (vs American) style Lab. English Labs are the shorter, stalkier labs, and with a thicker coat, sometimes wavy in spots.

If you ever want to find facts about labrador retrievers you can go to wikipedia and encyclopedia on google. If you are looking to buy a dog i strongly recommend a labrador retriever. They are great loving dogs, i have 2!

All dogs, including Golden Retrievers, have the same scientific name - Canis lupus familiaris.
