I don't know about the other pup. There's a litter of 8.
I went out and looked them over this morning. It's hard to tell one from the other. The sire is very light colored and the dam is reddish. All of the pups are a bit in between.
Good folks breeding them,..a young man and his wife who keep them inside the house. The female is a couch potato but the male likes the outdoors.
I showed up wearing my now ever-present overalls and the young man said the big sire loved to hunt. Asked me if I was planning on hunting the pup.
I told him, "no",...he's just going to be my buddy.

my first guess for a name is going to be "housewrecker"
105 pounds.... lol,...probably for a while. But both of the parents were in the house when I got there. They're both pretty laid back.

Man you're in trouble now. Just kidding. They start off like this. Then they start to grow up to this. And end up like this.

There is nothing in the world cuter than a fat lab pup. My Ranger II was a yellow lab (Ranger the First was a black lab). If yours is consistent with the breed he'll be a little hellion for the first two years and then settle down into a solid and loyal companion.
Excellent choice there.

lolo,...that'll be fine.
Funny thing,.....I was coming back from looking at him this morning and this ford pick up pulled up next to me at a light.
There was a big blond Labrador sitting in the passenger seat like he was used to it.
He was just perched up there totally dignified,...looking straight ahead.
I 'spect mine will end up like that.
I got tired as hell of people here while back. I'm countin' on a big blond Labrador to be an improvement in the companion catagory.

Nice. So you got a yellow and SamO got a white! That dog Sam found is what got me to pull the trigger. If Sam wasn't on the other side of the country that dog he found would be mine today. I had to go get me one after seeing that one he was looking to pass on to somebody.

Back when I was a kid a black lab wandered up and I kept him for a few years before he died.
I've never had a pup, however.
