Yes, she's a pure bred English Yellow Lab...she's a great companion, and loves everyone 
I would recommend the breed to anyone who wants a loyal friend

My parents used to have two yellow labs. They were brother and sister. And they were absolutely huge! You could only play with one at a time or you'd lose. Yellow labs are excellent dogs.

Thank you  and yes, yellow lab.
I think we might get anotehr one from the same breeder some time in the not-too-distant future. She loves other dogs and it would be awesome for her to have a buddy to play with 
While we were in Canada this past weekend, she stayed with my boyfriends sister and brother in law who have a dog. While she was thrilled to see us when we came back, and was whining and looking around frantically for the other dog, you could tell she missed it.
That, and, I'll admit I want an excuse to get another puppy

How big did they wind up getting?
She'll was born 7/24/05, so she's almost 7 months now, and she's 38 pounds...I think she'll end up being about 65-70 or so? Maybe more?
Her paws are pretty large...she loves to be held and it's starting to get difficult for us to carry her as much as we used to

Hehe. As soon as I see that dog I know 100% it's a yellow lab. And when some people in this thread sort of wondered what breed it is.... my first thought is "YELLOW LAB YOU FKING MORONS" but then I remembered that not everyone has grown up with labradors their entire lives :-)
Gorgeous dog! Here's my yellow lab (he's around, oh, 5 or 6. The most intelligent dog I've ever met/owned)

I'm really not sure how they got so big. And they weren't unhealthy at all either. The vet infact told us numerous times he'd never seen labs that big. The boy dog, Sam Adams (my bro named him ) was pushing 90-95. Kaylee, the girl dog was 75-80. Yet they always got clean bills of health. They were also pure bread AKC and all that. 
Sam Adams would jump up on you and if you were not prepared for it, you'd go down. We pissed many a visitors off cuz of that. But all they could really do was laugh, cuz he was a tank filled with joy. I grew up my entire life around puppies and dogs. My parents actually bred AKC Collies so I was always around dogs. But I haven't had a dog since I moved out in '01. I miss them a lot. I miss coming home to nothing but excitement.

Those pictures are awesome, thank you for sharing!! I love how smart Labs are, she was so easy to train...she's like 1 walking stomach, so put a piece of food in front of her and she'll do whatever you want

Wow, those were really big dogs!! She's starting to like jumping up on people to say hi, we're trying to discourage it right away, but she just gets so excited and wants to greet everyone and lick them. That's another thing about her, she is a compulsive licker. She sleeps with us and will randomly start bathing our faces, and we end up inevitably covered in doyy saliva

We were at the gathering, but we don't live in Canada, we live down in Boston Massachusetts
The tennis courts come in very handy, they're right behind our house and they're a great place to safely let her off the leash to let her run around for some exercise. 
And Robot, anytime you want to see pictures of Lucy, you know I'm more than happy to oblige 
I'm like a compulsive mother, constantly taking pictures of her. If I had a dollar for every picture we have of her sleeping, I'd be one happy Jew!

Oh, labs are so smart they know EXACTLY what they need to get treats and do what they have to to get it :-)
My lab got to the point where when I would pull out a treat he would do ALL his tricks (sit, throw his paw at me, lay down, and roll over) before I even said one command. He knew no matter what I said I had to give it to him!
Enjoy your the lab now, they change a LOT when they get older, become much more mature as you probably know, my favorite thing to do with mine when he was little is sit him in my lap and pet him till we'd both fall asleep.
Does she chew much? Labs are NOTORIOUS for chewing and digging, we had extreme problems with both, I think he may have been in poor conditions as a puppy and did these habits as a response to stress when he was younger.
And as I'm sure you know, labs LOVE TO PLAY. Wrestling and fetch, especially fetch in the water :-)

When we first got her, we had her in her crate for like 2 hours while we were out one day, and came home to her acting all lethargic and sluggish. She was opping a TON more than normal too and we couldn't figure out why until we discovered the large ziplock bag in her crate with a hole chewed through the bottom.
There was a huge bag stuffed with treats on top of her crate that she managed to stand up an pull through the bars, and ate EVERY treat inside. Now we know better than to leave anything edible within reach 
She doesn't chew much, but she has a definite oral fixation...she loves to walk around with stuff in her mouth, mostly socks or one of her toys, but she doesn't really chew anything but rawhide. Just sort of carrier things around with her. And she loves tennis balls and fetch! We have a few ponds/streams in our woods, and we've let her jump in once so far (they're been frozen). She loves water and once the weather is nicer we'll take her swimming more often. I've never seen her dig at all actually. *crosses fingers*
She knows how to sit, speak, roll over, high five, shake, double shake (both paws), stand up, lay down, stay, "bang bang" (where she rolls over and plays dead), leave it, and we're trying to teach her to commando crawl and introduce herself (shake and speak at the same time)

Labs love things in their mouth. It's also amazing how strong of a grip they have but also how tender they can hold things in their mouths. When we play mine loves to gnaw on my hand. I think it's just hardwired into them because they, obviously, used to and still do retrieve shot down birds for hunters, and of course having play toys and limbs is just like it 
And wow, that's a LOT of tricks! Keep going, you should teach yours to sit down and look both ways before it crosses the street, one of my friends' golden retrievers does that, now, I don't know if he saw a car coming he would wait, but it's still funny to see.
As far as digging, do you have yours in a yard or do you keep it on a leash and walk around. Ours had a full yard to have free reign, and the bugger started digging under the fence and got like 5 points of escape

Thats why my parents had to get rid of them. They would NOT stop digging and escaping from under the fence around the yard. And my parents were not about to put a shock collar on them. So they gave them away to a loving family. Which was good to see but also tough to watch.

We have a lot of land around the house (50 acres of woods) and almost all of it is surrounded by a huge stone wall, except the entrance to our driveway. So whenever we take her outside to go to the bathroom or just walk around, we have the leash on her in case she took off for the street. When we take her down to our tennis courts though, its fenced in all the way around so we let her off of the leash and let her run free since there is no chance of escape. We're planning on building her a large kennel in the woods for her to run around in and play in, and we were considering installing an electric fence so that we could have her outside without fear of her running down the driveway. The neighbors across the street have a black lab and use one of those systems and it works excellent for them. Most of the time they don't even put the collar on the dog anymore, because it knows where the boundary is, and goes nowhere near it, whether the collar is on or not.
I think the next trick we're going to teach her is to ring a bell when she wants to go outside, that would be cute, and fairly easy - one of the books we have has instructions how to do it

And when some people in this thread sort of wondered what breed it is.... my first thought is "YELLOW LAB YOU FKING MORONS"
Haha...
When I was growing up, my best friend who lived across the street from me had a yellow lab named Freida. Quite possibly the friendliest dog I've ever known, I loved that dog and played with her all the time. Extremely good natured, loveable, and tolerant of just about anything (She grew up in a family with 3 really rambunctious boys... she had to be tolerant.)
She had a knack for getting into huge amounts of food now and then. I remember she ate a 3lb brick of cheese one time. Another time when I was staying up at my friend's cottage she found a large stash of sandwiches in my backpack, and made short work of them. I also remember her eating sticks of butter, cookies, anything she could get her paws on.
She was chubby when she got closer to the end of her life, and she'd spend a lot of time laying on the floor and accepting belly rubs, without doing much else. It was strange though, even when she was so old she could barely get up, every year that they brought her to the cottage she immediately went into PUPPY MODE. She LOVED the cottage, it was probably her favorite place in the world.
...and of course, around the beginning of high school, Freida passed on. But that's one dog I ain't forgettin'.
