My vet told me labs stay puppies for two to three years.
Another answer:There are really two answers to this question; one from the vets' point of view, and another from the owners'.To a vet, some labs aren't "fully mature adults" until up to age 5. That's the equivalent of saying a man isn't a fully mature adult until he's about forty, so it obviously takes more than just physical or (most) behavioral characteristics into account.
From the owners' point of view, most black labs will reach their full adult size (in overall height and length, but probably not weight) by 8-10 months old, and they usually outgrow the last of their typical puppy behavior by the age of 18 months.

What color puppies will a yellow labe have?
The puppies would be labs (like the mom and dad) ,but the color or colors would depend entirely on which color genes they received from each parent. The black color is dominant; the possibilities for a black puppy are EEBB, EEBb,EeBB, or EeBb. The possibilities for a yellow puppy are eeBB, eeBb, or eebb. Both EEbb and Eebb would produce a chocolate lab. So, to be yellow, the puppy must receive the 'e' gene from both parents, and to be chocolate, the puppy must have received the 'b' gene from both parents--any other combination will produce a black puppy. It should be noted that the combination of eebb will always produce a dog that is yellow, but that has chocolate pigmentation around its eye rims, and on its nose. This is not currently an 'accepted' color for registration with the AKC. Wait what would the majority of the puppies be? Black, yellow, or chocolate? There is also times where is a greyish color, but its rare. We had two black labs stay with us for several months. The female had 9 puppies, 5 were yellow labs, 4 were black, both parents were black labs.
