It usually takes a male Labrador 18 months to grow into adulthood. The juvenile stage lasts for 2 months, and the growth stage starts from 3 months. By the time he is 8 months old, he has already grown up. An adult dog is considered sexually mature by 12 months of age, but it takes 18 months to fully mature and reach full adulthood.

How to raise Labrador during its growth period:

1. Pay attention to the feeding of young dogs. Labradors grow very fast in their childhood and have relatively high nutritional needs. It is necessary to ensure that they have a balanced diet and that they are properly supplemented with calcium and trace elements.
2. Exercise reasonably. Labrador does not have a particularly high amount of exercise when it is a puppy, but its exercise needs will be higher as an adult, so you need to take it out for exercise every day, which is good for your health.
3. Train correctly. Labrador is a very intelligent dog and needs to be trained from an early age. It is easiest to train when it is about three months old.
4. Do not feed raw meat. Although Labrador can eat well and has a good appetite, its intestines and stomach are relatively fragile. Do not feed raw meat and eat a low-salt diet.
