>>1562166Depends on the breeder, the most common issue I see with labs is obesity, they were bred to withstand the harsh weather of Labrador so they have a proclivity to put on body fat more so than many breeds. Labs get obese because most owners overfeed them and under exercise them. You need to manage their diets carefully and make sure they get enough exercise daily, they shouldn't need too much.
>>1562565They'll always howl and be pretty noisy so they're not great if you live in an apartment or don't want a loud dog. They're also scent hounds so they will play deaf with you when you're out trying to call them back because once they get an interesting scent, that's their priority so make sure you master call backs with them before you take them off leash anywhere.
