Golden Retriever Puppy Size
How big should an average 10 week old golden retriever puppy be? I have a 10 week old female golden and our neighbors have a ten week old male lab. The lab is twice the size of our golden.

How big should an average 10 week old golden retriever puppy be? I have a 10 week old female golden and our neighbors have a ten week old male lab. The lab is twice the size of our golden. Is the Golden Retriever from show lines, field lines or no particular lines? The lines are fairly different in body structure and build. The same is true for Labrador Retrievers. The expected "average" size for each will depend heavily on their lineage. What is "correct" for each breed depends on whether the goal is the conformation ring or the field. -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |

They look best to me when medium size and blocky, |

rec.pets.dogs.breeds: Most of the Lab puppies I get these days are mooses. The Goldens are more of a mixed bag - some blocky ones, some lightly built ones. In agility, I'm seeing the opposite - very large GRs (many too heavy) and sleek Labs. In my dog daycare, I'm seeing what you see. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I'd expect to see lean dogs in agility. Maybe GR show people are trying to title in other venues, and have their blonde-Newf looking dogs in agility for that reason, rather than the more performance/less conformation of some lab owners? In field training, they're all lean. I love watching dogs in the field - the light in their eyes and the enthusiasm in every stride. http://www.gondolinretrievers.com/Ph.../KH7C2485.html -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
