My cocker eats very little and will often leave half until the next morning so I guess a lab is going to be different.
£5 says your cocker is soon going to learn to eat up :-D
I was told never to back anything you knew you'd lose money on! :snooty:

Bear in mind that a growing dog will generally eat more - we feed raw and the last pup ended up on double the adult amount at one point. Also when working, your dog may require more food or the addition of tripe. Our adult labs have a scoop of high-end grain free kibble in the morning and 1lb + of raw minced meat, bone and offal (plus veggies, kelp, salmon oil, eggs and joint-aid as necessary). During the working season the kibble breakfast is replaced with 1lb of tripe each.
