A Labrador dog is nearly fully grown by about 6 months of age and then by 12 months of age the Labrador is fully grown and will likely not grow anymore.

One your Labrador dog is 12 months of age it's usually fully grown by then and is a full adult dog.

Labrador dogs are pretty fast growers and grow from puppies to full grown adult dogs in a short amount of time.

However some Labrador dogs and other dogs may continue to grow a little bit more until 2 years of age but once the dog get to 2 years of age it's not gonna grow any bigger.

I've known some Labrador dogs that were done growing by age 1 while another one continued to grow a bit more until age 2.

A Labrador dog is a British breed of retriever gun dog. It was developed in the United Kingdom from fishing dogs imported from the colony of Newfoundland, and was named after the Labrador region of that colony.

In general, Labrador retrievers are excellent family dogs, as long as you keep in mind their need for exercise and training.

These are dogs bred to work and work hard and they love to have jobs to do, particularly retrieving.
