My favourite is this one, where a direct to consumer testing company reported a dog 'would probably be great for quick movements like boxing and basketball, and that she has the cardiac output for long endurance bike rides' https://t.co/Xt3gTV5sz1

i've spent wayy too much time (instead of studying) thinking about how some labradors are genetically prone to be obese and they can't stop eating when food is put in front of them https://t.co/ZC1BFlyKyB

@MorganPfiffner @whsource May also be confounded by the fact that this breed in particular is vry prone to appetite & satiety issues genetically? I've had several breeds of dogs; some self-regulate very well (ie leave food in the bowl) others can eat t
