She weighs about 30 lbs, and is lean, not over weight at all. I take her for walks 3 times per day, for about 15 mins per walk. She always seems like she is disappointed when we go back in.
Answers:
dogs need no less than 45mins exercise and thats twice a day.
or just 1 big 1.
How is that exactly? A European Labrador Retriever... hmmm, perhaps my province has shifted continents and no one told me.
LOL.
Of course she's disappointed, you have a hunting breed which are meant to be in the great outdoors ALL DAY LONG, working and running. You give her the BARE MINIMUM of exercise a day so she doesn't chew your walls.
Labs need to run for an hour or more a day, a solid hour. And even that is really, not enough.
If she's 30lbs she isn't a lab - whatever region you assign her too - and so this doesn't tell us if she is under or overweight.
If she were 12 years old you may get away with your current exercise regime but at two years half an hour of running or an hour of walking three time a day is about minimum for a lab mix.
BTW Labs in Europe are often stockier than the USA ones.
