Too much shedding, problems with weight and joints. Great dogs otherwise.




Most dogs are gonna shed, but it’s amazing what researching a breeder and then a pairing coupled with appropriate exercise for the dog can do for problems with weight and joints. Although, blaming the breed is also a solid plan.


OK then ..... I will walk between 35 and 40km this week, so I see several dogs on a daily basis while out with mine. I saw a pattern with labs, so I looked for a breed with less troubles and found it. Blaming me or the breeder is some funny.
