Obesity Genes In Labradors

[RuralPug]

Anyone noticed entire "black" male Labs for some reason are generally more on the slimmer side?

I've seen plenty of obese black labs, both entire and neutered, both sexes.

In fact a solid black dog will often look fatter than the same shaped gold, fawn or cream dog next to it - it's an optical illusion.

But black is slimming!?!

the thing that surprised me about this study was that only 23% of Labradors (and some flatties) had the gene. 100% of the Labbies I've owned were gutzers.
