We have a 1 1/2 year old chocolate lab.
I bet he wolfs his 2 cups of Science Diet nuggets down in 15 seconds
I'll have to time him one day

Must be something with the breed most labs of my acquaintance are obese if not kept on a diet. Friend of mine had an overweight black lab. We called it a flabador.

My chocolate lab scarfs her food down pdq. A minute or less Every lab I've owned has been a glutton, they will eat as much and as often as you want to let them eat. The oldest daughter is always feeding her snacks, now she's as big as a barrel and totally worthless for hunting..

Interesting that so many have had labs that just gorge. The three that I had I would free feed and never became fat. I know it’s unusual and free feeding is not recommended.
They lived to 13-14 years and were never fat. The three of them were knuckleheads and ate socks and chewed the heck out of everything in sight, it seemed, while puppies. All three were from Mayo Kelloggs kennels.
They were #1,2,and 3 the best dogs I have had. I heard you only get one “great dog” per lifetime and he was in those three.

My daughter is a vet tech and says labs are also far more prone to eating socks, underwear, golf balls and rocks. Our 1 1/2 year old chocolate...has thrown up dozens of socks...knock on wood
