She looks all Lab to me. Probably English as she is shorter & a bit stockier than they are breeding Labs here in the states now.

AND.......Summer is a cutie too! I have a soft spot for hounds....

I appreciate it! Thanks

Va-Cat, I spoke with several Lab owners and none of their dogs have pads like what is shown in the picture. However, the general concensus seems to be if it's not causing a problem for the dog, it shouldn't be too much to worry about. One of them said that if it starts to cause a problem, then a trip to the vet would be warranted. But if there's no problem, it should be okay.



I hope that helps somewhat.

Gosh maybe I can check lab feet at the dog park today of course others may think I am a bit strange looking at the pads on dog's feet.

Smell them to see if they smell like fritos while you're there.

Yes, I smelled my dog's feet ... and they smell like fritos...and I googled it.

LOL I'm not worried about it. It just surprised me to see it. Kohla was at the vet today and even the vet hadn't seen it before! My Kohla, I always knew he was "special"

LOL take you camera and have someone getting pictures of the owners' reactions. That might be fun (and funny) to see!

Oh we definately know all about "frito feet" here at CD There was a thread ohhhh about a year or two ago all about it. Its pretty funny. Do a search and I think you will enjoy it!

And....yes...Kohla DEFINATELY has frito feet...and I shamelessly sniff them

My two labs have feet just like Kohla's feet.

Angel....who knows??

But, she is pure lab.

Bear has many CH's in his pedigree including him.

I am sure his feet are fine.

None of my 4 labs have similar pads, they are all separate. However, only Bailey is purebred. The others are lab-mutts of various varieties
