All dogs have their own unique looks. The difference with lab and GR is their fur. GR got longer fur, which would require a daily brush so there would be no tangles. For lab, also need to brush to that the dead fur comes out but you can do weekly brushing instead of a daily brush. Both dogs are similar in weight and size but they can get overweight if you feed food that is too rich. This can cause both breeds to suffer from joint problems when they are older.

About tummy.... big is coz got worms or bloated with air. It has nothing to do with the breed. Some petshops do not practice good hygiene and good puppy health, so they sometimes never deworm the pup or the pup eat other dog's poop, which can cause worms too. So never buy a puppy with bloated balloon tummy.

Yeah.. My bf prefer chinese name... So end up like that loo~

wow thanks..if i never ask here..i have already buy the dog..no wonder he selling for only RM650


any more advice before i buy golden retriver or labrador??

do research more and you'll find what you want.you can go to this site www.dogbreedinfo.com for more information.best to buy from breeder and see the parents of the pup then you'll get some idea how the pup will look like when he or she grows up.ask breeder questions like how to clean ear,or how to detect if he's sick ,when pup is sick,it won't be so lively and tail will go down(if u know what i mean) and etc...

RM 650 only? With MKA cert or without? If without cert, the parents got cert or not? RM650 is quite cheap for a labrador if it got cert. My golden lab also need RM600

lovely_gal,it doesn't matter if parents are with MKA or nt coz the puppies like in your case,won't have cert coz already cross-breed already.and you can't enter your dog to mka competition if you wanted to.i don't think RM 650 is with cert.usually it's without the cert.even it's RM 650 for a puppy,must see the pup's condition in health wise,temperament and see whether your money is worth buying it or not.

Like what i said, if the labrador is RM650 with cert, then it is very cheap, In addition, HolyCross said that the stomach is bigger compare to other dog. I am not a vet so i am not sure but may be the dog is not that healthy. Btw, i am just asking whether the dog got cert or not and never ask him to buy the dog because of the price.

But then, if RM650 without cert, i think it is consider as Market Price. Am i correct? But, you might not know whether it is really pure breed or mix breed. Because, some Pet House would not tell you even it is mix breed. A lot of people might not know how to differentiate the labrador or mix breed with they are small.

One of my fren got the dog online and the dog seems like a labrador when it is still young. But, when it is getting bigger, the dogs looks like spitz. I think the vet also told her that the dog is a mix breed. You will only know when the dog getting bigger.

about GR puppy (50 days), is it normal the poo, is it normal that the color of it is yellowish?& its a bit watery..

need u guys opinion/verify, is this dog look like a GR or Lab?

with cert....but not sure wheter it is deworm..bytheway it is 5month old....if it stomach is not big..i will surely buy it already

nice gr pup you got there....definitely a gr.
50 days like 2 months old?i'm not sure bout the poo ler...should ask someone else.coz i left my pup with the breeder till i come home this sunday.plus my hse under renovation,don't want him to run out from the house.so i'm not so sure.but it could be due to the kibbles u bought.what kibbles did you get for him/her?

alpo 2 in 1, chicken....can GR drink nespray milk...
cos she looks like bored of dry food

i understand.i just give my opinion.pls don't misunderstand what i've just mentioned. if your friend bought it online,is it from msia?then surely can see the the parents ma.like me,i bought my ben from adpost but i went to the breeder's place to see the pup b4 buying and another bonus point is,i can get to see the parents which are very good breeds,good temperament,health wise and so on.but in your friend's case,i wouldn't know for sure coz you have to ask her for more information.
that's why i discourage buying dogs from pet shop.coz we wouldn't know for sure how's the parents like,whether they have skin conditions,health,temperament and whether they are pure breed or not.besides,they usually take the pups early weeks like 5 or 6 weeks from the mother.like my case,roxy,my rottweiler-doberman mix,i bought it from pet shop.the pet shop said she's purebreed and couldn't deny it that at first,she looks like a rottweiler but as she grew,she really don't look like a rottweiler but more to doberman.plus,she has long body and long legs.only the fur like a rottweiler.
besides,we all need to do research online more often about any dogs we wanna get as a companion.like labs and goldens,they have lots of differences in terms of fur,face,body.labs and goldens are more recognizable when they are young.hope i make it clear.

Added on May 21, 2008, 7:27 pmahhh...you bought from supermarket ah?pls don't buy pet food from supermarkets.they are not good ler.the ingredients are not good for our furkids.feed them with premium quality food like addiction,canidae,eagle pack etc.those are good brands which you can find at pet shops.some pet shops may not have the pet food you wanted.but you can research your place and you can also view the food here www.dogfoodanalysis.com
nespray milk ah?i'm not sure ler...better feed her with multivitamins for fur (cod liver oil) and other supplements.
hope this helps

When Fala was 2 month old

it that a lab or GR?

Fala really got that chubby lab face. I'll try to find my picture of my Tammy when she was 2 months old hahahah....

The market price for a lab with no cert is about RM600 to RM800.... this really depends on the breeder. Choose a breeder wisely coz sometimes some breeders cheat. They can mixbreed and sell you at purebreed price. I actually got my Tammy with MKA cert for only Rm500 but that's 8 years ago.
