The Labradors shown here are very well covered and spongy!!! Some seem to huff and puff around the ring...!!
Just the same as here, short legged as well (or maybe that fat that they look short) _________________ My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
The legs of many showbred labs actually are short. Over the last 3-4 years I have trained 3 showbred labs as gundogs. I slimmed down and hardened off all three bitches.The dogs I trained all still had a good bit of game sense and willingness to work but these were not top show winning dogs. They all shared the same fault - too short in the leg to easily do the job. They were all especially bad at jumping fences, even low fences that my little cocker can jump gave them trouble. A decent work bred lab can get over 6 feet or more.
It is conformation gone mad !

"rough shooting/working gains 'bulk' to his muscles"
Not quite true.
Dogs muscle up differently, some get more muscles than others. I haven't seen many bulging thighs on Brittanys...maybe unless they work all day every day...
My boy has bulging thighs...!!
