21:43 Got to admit a show Lab's are massive and a working Lab's
are slim jims. 12/03/2012 at 21:49 We see a lot of very
traditional chunky working labs.  There are a couple of very
well known breeders who we eye test for & there are some
cracking labs around.  They tend only to sell to working homes
rather than pets or show.  Though a lot of them do field trials.

Fantastic dogs in many ways but a full time job to have one as a
pet I'd have thought.     There are still plenty of good german
shepherds though and by all accounts a little less highly strung
than your average malinois.    Bionic Ironwo
