predicting the baby's gender

Post by rusto »

I'm having trouble figuring out if my yellow lab is a boy or a girl - the thing is, they seem to get slightly darker every now and then.

Honestly, the simplest way to determine the sex of your lab is by checking their underside. There are plenty of guides available online that can walk you through the process.

they're quite the swimmers, super fast - no way i'd catch them. i'll just observe and see what happens. one of mine's definitely a boy, i'm pretty sure. after doing some research, i'm suspecting the others are girls. thanks for the reply though

Males actually have a stripe on their dorsal fin.
