    Yeah thats him funny thing was he could run for bloody miles when we had the farm and he had this move that if in a fight/standoff with another dog he would somehow sweep their feet and that was that, all over. he was as well as his parents, an old style purebreed lab and they were as big if not bigger than him, I wish Id breed from him now

    Hes got a little tooo good condition on there. Thing is with Labs, if they are allowed to remain overweight, by the time they are 5 or 6 years old they already look 10. No fun at all.

    Damn straight. That's a big lab, but he's a big fat lab that would lose weight with work. Sorry, don't mean to offend, just how it is ... REALLY!

    You checked that he didn't possibly just change from one food to another. I get hundreds of dollar in free top quality dog food which cant use because the energy value(fat) is just too high. I just give it all away.. sacks and sacks of the stuff. MY Lab starts to gain weight withing a day or so if I give her even just a small handful a day. ..and she getting run free range on farmland 30 minutes daily. Now I just stick with scraps and plain old Tux these days.
