US Military Working Dogs (War Dogs); Labrador Retrievers in the Vietnam War
Why is this section in the article? It doesn't say anything specific about the breed. Would it be more suitable in the Dogs in warfare article? Miyagawa (talk) 22:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
- Actually thinking further, this would be more suitable as the start of a new article specific to the uses of dogs in the US military. Miyagawa (talk) 22:33, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
- I agree this should be either more specified for the breed or shortened to house the breed specific facts.Science765 (talk) 23:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Dudley Lab Picture
I'm not sure why the picture of the dudley lab keeps being taken out. The dudley is a recognized coat/skin color variant, and the picture has been on the site since 2007, at least. What's the sudden push to remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.172.42 (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Colour genetic update
I have updated the Colour section to reflect the new understanding of canine coat colour genetics. I have included a reference. I have also corrected an apparent confusion between the E locus and the D locus. As it stands now, it reflects the mainstream view as of 27 July, 2011. Collieuk (talk) 16:47, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Part relating to obesity reads like a moral judgment
The part about obesity in health reads like a Purina-sponsored feeding guide. There is no single proper way to prevent the obesity of an animal, because it depends heavily on the specific animal in question. Either way, a discussion about this does not belong in the page for the Labrador breed, because obesity isn't a breed-specific problem. Unless someone can reformat it to be neutral and just list the Labrador-specific facts, I move it should be removed entirely. 62.106.56.231 (talk) 22:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
picture
Just asking, why was the image of the Lab playing with water removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tobyflanderson24 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure which picture you're referring to, but a lot of times this article seems to be a place where people put pictures of the dogs they know and love -- and while I can apprecaite that, I too would revert something if it didn't add any substance or increase understanding in the wiki.

Invalid ref removed
I removed a ref that cited—and pointed to—an article that no longer exists on the named site. The ref is:
