We see a lot of Labs in SAR, and the great ones are always smaller with a ton of drive. Those are the ones that, as an vowed GSD handler, I see them work and say I could see myself with that dog. But that's rare.I was just having a conversation with a friend with how large, blocky, and dumpy the lab is becoming. My parents have had several over the years and they were all athletic, drivey dogs. The ones I'm seeing recently all look like cartoons of labs.
