overweight lab??

Question
Hi there, my Labrador Lady is 18 months old and she weighs 30kgs.
I was wondering if this is too much for a lab?
She has been on heat twice and never bled, this is a concern for me too. But on her next heat I want to breed her but I have heard it is dangerous for an overweight dog.
So my question is, what's the ideal weight for a Labrador?
Answer
The average weight for a female labrador retriever is between 25-32kg.
Your lab is within the average weight for females and looking at the photo you have provided she does not look overweight.
However, with regards to the lack of bleeding and the breeding questions I would take her to a vet and get a full health check up just be sure all is ok and that she is at an ideal weight to be able to breed safely.
