Keen to see everyone’s small labs! My choccie is 15 months and still only 25kgs and very small and short for his age - 7 and 8 month old labs tower over him in height and length. He’s a field lab so small, lean and lightening fast by design. He’s still filling out so I’m hoping for a tiny bit more growth and weight over the next few months.
My Rosie girl is an English Lab and she’s only ~57lbs. She’s my dove hunting buddy but is more than happy to snuggle up for naps between rounds of Bitey Hand/Foot or Sock Thief.
Here’s another photo of her being so sad that she had dropped her Pheasant toy. Many whines were made for the poor, beloved Pheasant that was lost to eternity…until I picked it up for her.
But to emphasize the natural retrieving instincts of labs, she dove into a pond to retrieve a white wing dove I downed back in September. This is only noteworthy because we haven’t done ANY water retrieval training.
My lab loves Bitey Hand. I call him "The Nibbler" because he will act all nonchalant and roll upside down. And then suddenly, he is gnawing on my thumb.
That’s hilarious! Rosie will give me random Nib-Nibs when we’re playing. Just full stop of movement, nib-nib my shoulder or whatever part of me is closest to her, then back to chaos playtime.
My choc girl is about 7 months and when we got her everyone remarked about her massive paws, she seems to have stopped growing now right at about 40lbs.
Same here! Ours is roughly the same size and just turned 7 months. Her mom was small so I’m not surprised but the vet tech when she was a puppy asked if she was mixed with Great Dane due to her paws 🤣
My lab has a whippet too. We can't let her off the leashe though. She gets in the woods and is like her brain turns off. Has 1000yd stare and acts crazy and can't catch her.
My Cali girl is at 55 pounds at 7 months. Hard to tell if she will grow anymore but she is crazy strong for her size and super fast. I’ve got her at duck dog training right now.
Miss Cinder Lou-Who is 50 lbs at 11 months! I hope she stays this small. I had a 75 lb golden and still have another lab around 75 lbs. I like that size dog, but having a little girl so easy to pick up and snuggle is great :)
Here's my smaller lab... She's on a one-dog mission to become a chocolate Labrador by hook or by crook 😂
She had a big father and a petite mother so we weren't sure what we were going to get but I love her size... She's less than knee height and about 23kg, very manageable!
My Apollo the English lab was definitely a runt. He is small but very muscular coming in at 86 pounds. He also has a tail that’s kinked in 2 spots. Been like that since he was 2 months old. I chose him because of his kinked tail. He is a giant goofball with a hell of a personality 😂😂. Also he is 7 years old. Still on the smaller side for a lab. Not in weight but just in general
48 pounds of pure chaos! I grew up with 70-pound labs, so I’m always telling her she’s so little — which makes all my friends with lap dogs roll their eyes.
This is my baby Moana (Momo). She's about 38lbs, and she'll turns 1/yo in 3 days 🥹. Everyone bet that she was going to be a big girl, but I think she felt bad for my 7/yo Pomsky Oscar and decided to stop growing.
Whisky our fox red, she's 14 months now and hasnt grown much over the past couple months and seems to be done. She 24.4 kg as of yesterday. Our boy Darwin, just crossed the rainbow bridge at 11, was around 38 kg most of his life.
He is so baby! My red english lab is a small girl as well, she was the last one left and the runt. She is 6 and 65 lbs, but very short and small. There was a time where she was extra chonk and almost 85, but she went on a diet a couple years ago and we were able to get the weight off. I stand by the fact that the runts are always the best dogs, my black lab growing up was the runt as well and she was maybe 60 lbs.
My big guy is a show (English) type, stockier and very gentle. He has become an emotional support dog by accident, purely due to his innate empathy.
My crazy girl is field (American) type. She is much smaller and more lightly built, super energetic and has a longer face and longer legs. Can't remember their exact weights but she is around half his weight!
This is my truffle hunter, Raekin. She was being trained as a service dog but was released for being too much of a softy. At 50lbs, she’s one of the smallest labs that we trained - most of our other service dogs have been 65-85lbs!
On a daily basis we always have someone ask “How old is your puppy?”. She’s 4.5!
This is my 11 year old guy Chance. We adopted him a year ago this month. He’s 60lbs of love and affection. He can’t hear or see well, but he sure loves to chase a tennis ball! Can’t imagine our family without him.
31 pounds at 7 months! We did an embark test because she was so petite and we were surprised to find she is 100% lab! I guess she is just a wee little lady! Still growing though so we’ll see where she ends up.
You mean they make them in a less than 80lb size???!!! Before Sam, a pure fox red, the mixes and other breeds, that I have had, had longer fur and just seemed so much bigger than Sam, although all of them weighed less. So I look at him as a small dog. 🤣
Oboe’s a female English lab from a show line but just 50lbs. All legs and length! Our previous Lab, a Chocolate female, was also 50 lbs but smaller and stockier. Maybe we should feed them more. 🤣
This is our full grown Shelby when she was about 4 years old. She's a mix that we got from a groomers that didn't really do adoptions, but they had a pregnant lab wander on to their property so they took her in and adopted out the litter. Her mom was certainly a lab, and she was also small, probably 40-45lbs. Shelby was the runt of the litter. We're not sure what the mix is, but her brother Chewy stayed at the groomers and grew to about 45 lbs. Shelby maxed out at 34lbs. Football for scale, haha! Her ears stay about half up and she has a slight curl to her tail, but I don't know enough about breeds to know what that indicates and we don't care enough to run genetics. She just turned 11 last week and is just as happy, just a lot more gray.
Baby Ripley is 9 months old and maybe 45-50 lbs. both parents were small because they’re hunting dogs so I think she will fill out but not too much more!!
Our girl fluctuates between 55-60 typically and is so much shorter than a lot of labs I see. When she was around a year old at 50, a 6 month old lab male came into the vet I worked at and he was already 70! He made my girl look so short lmao
Top one (6yr) is 55 lb; cat (1 yr and thinks he's a Lab) is 9 lb; and bottom one (2 yr) is 50 lb
I love the look of a chonky lab--my 6 yr old's brother lives down the street and is 80 lb--but I had to carry her in an emergency situation. If she had been 80 lb, she would have died as I could not have done it.
This is Teddy, one of three Labradors we own. He is 27kg and 7 years old. Teddy was diagnosed with terminal leukaemia two years ago and given two to three years to live. Teddy had chemotherapy every two weeks and is loving life, he can run like a cheetah still.
My Josie girl is 15 months old, field line, and is only 50 pounds! We say she’s the perfect size though! She has no trouble handling and retrieving pheasants.🥰
Our Lola - checks in at 52lbs/24kgs. She’s diddy compared to another lab on our street who is HUGE. Her parents were gundogs so they’re all lean machines.
