How big will a Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier Mix get?
I have a Shepherd/Pit mix and she is full grown at 65 lbs. Make sure you use a harness when you walk the dog. They are short and stocky, but are really strong and tend to pull a lot. Hope this helps
harnesses URGE big dogs to pull. so using a harness would be an extremely bad idea unless you want to get jerked around all over the place. i recommend a training collar, like a choke chain, head halter, or a spike.it seems uncomfortable, but it keeps them from breathing when they pull so they will learn that in order to breathe when they go for a walk then they need to stay calm and walk at your side. i have a Saint Bernard, and a Great Dane. I know how that works. i just got a new shepherd pit mix too so im in the process of training him, and these work great. you can also get nylon training collars as well if you feel the need.Why is Labrador retriever capitalized?
Labrador is a place so no matter where you put it i think it will always have a capital.

Golden Retrievers have webbed feet. Their fur is longer and thicker. They have two coats of fur, the long silky topcoat, and a softer fuzzier undercoat. The fur fans out off the backs of their legs, and they have very prominent fans from the bottom sides of their tails. Goldens tend to have a more narrow face, but that is not always true.
Labs have shorter hair. It is still soft, but does not have the same fuzzy coat under the topcoat. Their heads are usually a little broader. The fans are absent from the backs of the legs and from the tail.

What is the best out of all of the dog breeds?
There is no "best" breed of dog. Everyone has their own favorite breed(s). Some people may like big dogs, such as a Labrador retriever or a German shepherd. Some may enjoy a small, playful dog such as a Boston terrier or a beagle. Some might want a dog that would go well with an older person, such as a lazy basset hound or a schnauzer. Personally, my favorite breeds of dogs are all large, and include Labradors, German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, Chows, Greyhounds, English Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, English Springer Spaniels, and Australian Shepherds.

How long do labrador retrievers live for?
How long a Lab might live depends mostly on the health of the animal. I had a lab and she ended up getting cushins disease (seizures) and we had to put her to sleep when she was only 8 yrs old. But if your lab is in good health and has no physical issues then your pet might live quite a bit longer.
Answer #2
Well, some dogs don't live to long and others might. I had a chocolate Labrador and he lived 15 years until we had to put him down.
How much should feed a labrador retriever?
Labs like to eat, and they won't stop eating until whatever they are given is gone. (This is why dog food companies actually don't usually use Labs for food testing, because Labs just eat everything--they're not picky.)
Because of this, Labs are prone to putting on too much weight--and having a fat dog whatever breed is basically abuse. It is the responsibility of a dog's owner to make sure that the dog is not too thin AND that the dog is not too fat.
Labs need a lot of exercise, too: at least one preferably two vigorous walks per day and/or swimming sessions. If your Lab isn't getting at least this level if activity, you need to increase it.
If your Lab is active, then you can feed him or her more--and if your Lab is more sedentary, then you absolutely must feed him or her less. You have to factor in whatever treats or food scraps your dog is getting, too.
The way to tell if your Lab is the right weight is this: looking down at your Lab from the top, there should be a distinct waist between the rib cage and the hips. If there is no waist, the dog is too heavy. In addition, you should NOT be able to see any ribs when looking at the Lab (that would mean the dog is too thin), but you SHOULD be able to FEEL ribs when you run your fingers along the rib cage. If you can't, then the dog is too heavy.
The amount of dog food depends on the dog's activity level and on the calories in the food. However, Labs often have to eat MUCH less than other breeds because they have a slower metabolism--and the guidelines on dog food packaging usually mean you'd be giving too much food for a Lab as a result. Depending on your brand of dog food, your Lab might get only 1.5 to 2 cups of food a day + treats during the day.
Labs loose weight fast, incidentally, so I would recommend feeding 2 cups. If you notice weight going on by the tests I mentioned above after a week or so, then start reducing the quantity by 1/4 cup at a time for a week each time.
You may actually find that your dog goes through phases and needs more food during certain parts of the year (e.g. summer, when more active) and less during others (e.g. winter, when more sedentary).
In the end, use the waist and rib tests above to gauge where you dog is at, and then adjust the amount of food in 1/4 cup increments up or down until you get the desired result.
How big can a female labrador get?
The standard is 21½ to 23½ inches at the withers. Weighing 55 - 70lbs. This is the standard for a dog being shown in competition. As with humans, a dogs size and weight can vary. Labs are known for their appetite and can become overweight very easily. There are female labs out there that can weight in excess of 100lbs. While they may not qualified to be shown in a show ring, they are still just as intelligent and loving as any other Labrador.

How much do black lab puppies cost?
A black lab may come to a very expensive rate. As they are amazing, smart animals they may cost from 300$-1300$.It is so worth it though. We just got a baby black lab and he is awesome. Trust me ... you should really look into it. -snoopdoggie dog The cost all depends on the bloodlines of the dog. Champion bloodline pups may very well cost over $1000 but any pure and AKC registered lab pup will cost at least $200-$300 just with their paperwork and first shots and deworming. I breed them myself and charge anywhere from $300-$400 depending on color and sex.
How can you tell if your chocolate lab puppy is a purebreed?
If there is any deviation from the breed standard as defined by the kennel club in your country (e.g. AKC in the United States) in terms of height at the withers, body length, coloration, and in Labradors most importantly in terms of temperament, then the dog is not a purebred. Some telltale signs that a dog is a Lab mix or otherwise not a Lab:
* The head isn't flat enough or boxy enough.
* The dog is too tall for the breed standard--although there is an informal distinction in Lab breeding between English Labs (shorter, stockier) and American Labs (taller, leaner).
* A black dog has white spots on the feet, body, tail, or muzzle (technically a white spot on the chest is not a disqualification for a Lab, but is nonetheless suspect).
* The tail is not a strong, powerful, straight "otter tail" (any curve or curl means it is not a purebred).
* The feet are not webbed (Labs have webbed feet).
* The dog's temperament is anything other than gregarious, friendly, playful, exuberant, and very people-oriented.
* The skirt (the fur along the back of the thighs) isn't whispy enough.
* The coat is not shiny or does not have an oily, water-repellent outer coat and a soft, downy inner coat (two coats).
* The only permissible colors in a Lab are black, yellow, and chocolate. There is no such thing as a Lab or any other color.
* The nose is usually black (but can be pink), and the eyes are brown.
In addition, there is no way to prove whether a dog is purebred without a pedigree issued by a kennel club, which is possible only if the dam and sire were both registered purebreds as well.
