About the aging Labrador Retriever. Since the average life span of a Labrador is 10-12 years, you must consider a 7-8 year old Labrador aged and in the later one third of his life.
At birth, a Labrador puppy from average parents and an average litter (6 puppies) weighs about 1 pound or less. During the first 8 weeks of its life the puppy gains about 2 pounds a week. An 8 week old Labrador puppy weighs between 11 and 17 pounds.From 8 weeks to 26 weeks (6 months) this growth proceeds in about the same way-an average six month old Labrador weighs between 50 and 60 pounds. Dogs are heavier than bitches.udging your Lab's weight this way ensures that it is right for him and not just right for the average member of the breed. It is almost always possible to adjust the feeding schedule to ensure proper weight in a puppy fed primarily dog food.
