Why 60% of Labrador Retrievers In The USA Are Considered Obese? The Answer Will Surprise You!

The association of the POMC deletion described with body weight, adiposity, and food motivation in both Labrador retrievers and FCRs is strong and of a similar magnitude in both breeds. It is possible that the high prevalence of the mutation in Labrador retrievers contributes to their well-known predisposition to obesity compared to other breeds of dog. We acknowledge that there is a higher prevalence of this deletion in FCRs, a breed not previously noted to be especially obesity-prone, but note that obesity has not been studied systematically before in this relatively uncommon breed of dog. cell.com
