Question

Lucinda @ 8 months
I have a female labrador retriever of 8 months. She is healthy and now 19.5 inches high. is the height ok? What sort of physical trainings should i start for her?

Answer
That is a little on the small size.  Most Labs don't grow too much after that age.  It shouldn't be a problem for most people.  

I would continue to hold off on strenuous, high impact exercises.  Stick to walking and swimming.  Long walks are fine, just don't push her into a faster pace than she is comfortable or beyond where she shows signs of tiring.
