What is the right amount of daily exercise for my chocolate Labrador?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

they will be in their glory if you give them a job to do.labs are big eaters and need regular exercise and moderate rations to avoid a tendancy to become overweight

It would be a good thing to walk your Labrador everyday even if he has a large yard. Labs are energetic and enjoy being active, playing games, and participating in activities like flyball, agility, swimming, tracking, and obedience. They especially enjoy ball and retrieving games like fetch.

sometimes i wonder if 3 30mins is enough. ;) mines 3 and still crazy
I know what you mean. Candidly - our last two labs have 10 miles a day...full tilt - and we always sense they could run more. We took to riding them with them on our bikes on the beach so they could run faster - and still they have had energy left to spare. They can run 5 miles in the AM and think nothing of coming back to rough-house and play for another hour at the house with each other. I think the big difference for us is that they don't have a large yard to run and play in. Our other labs seemed to be fine and find great satisfaction just running around in the yard. Our new labs haven't had that opportunity. They have been completely dependent upon us to make sure they get to exercise. If your dog is 1-2 years old in particular - There's a good chance you are finding yourself in the same boat we're in. We're working to run them longer - and to give them chances to realllllly run and play. It's a pretty big commitment of time and energy - but it's what seems necessary so that they are happy, content and not stir-crazy.
