My sister's dog is on a strict diet as he had issues as a puppy - breeder etc, and fortuntely the insurance kicked in, but that's left him with a specialist diet - not good being a lab that fancies everything. They have to watch him when they have buffets (not currently) as he'll eat stuff that makes him very poorly. He was a bugger for eating all the flowers of plants when a pup. Sis would say, No, No, then he'd wait..... chomp, gone.

We had a retriever as a kid, lovely dog, but ate the house as a pup. Chewed corner off window sil, then riped up a tiled floor (1970's).

Back in the 80s I had a Black Lab/Shepherd 1st cross, he was a beggar.

Labs are food crazed monsters. They're prone to getting fat and associated health problems, so Lemmy only gets a bloody expensive labrador mix and I weigh out each serving. However, he is an inveterate food robber - even unloading the shopping out of the car requires care, else he'll have his head inside the shopping bags the moment our heads are turned!

I dunno, Springers must run a close second or in the worst case the dog my parents had Springer/Lab 1st cross.

When Lemmy was an older puppy he'd been a bit quiet and off his food or a few days. He then suddenly started retching and puked up a pair of Mrs D's knickers that he's presumably eaten 3 days beforehand. He's lucky it wan't my Y fronts or he'd have probably not survived the experience.

Our eldest had a rope toy a couple of years back, it got increasingly smaller over a month or two as she chewed it.
She was still eating and pooping fine but one Sunday morning she puked up what looked like a dead rat! (genuinely though she'd found one in the garden).
Bit frightening really that it had all been sat there for a month in her belly.
We do watch their weight closely and they don't have a lot of treats, someone commented the other week how it was nice to see a pair of properly shaped Labs as they are prone to piling the weight on!.
No onions, grapes etc, they like tomatoes and the odd strawberry though.

My Cocker Spaniel decided she would have a good slurp of my beer (Old Peculiar)I told her off she made a dash for the stairs.Got half way up turned to look at me .She fell down the stairs stood up a plssed her self Generally she was a well behaved dog but she loved to delve in hand bags looking for paper hankies or grabbing the end of the toilet roll and dragging it down the stairs.I blame that dog on theTV toilet roll ads for her learning that one.
Sadly long deceased Was a close companion for thirteen years.
We were once in the Tanronnen in Beddgelert and you would have sworn they had a seal lying on the floor blocking the bar. It was in fact the fattest lab I've ever seen, jet black, face down, legs splayed out but so much body, only the paws were visible so the whiskers completed the seal comparison. I bet it wasn't keen on walkies!
