A reesponsible breeder wouldn’t ever even consider it. There are over 460 REAL breeds world wide. If you can’t find ONE that suits your size preference, get a cat. A responsible breeder always learns BEFORE breeding by:
1. Contact a breed club for your breed. Ask for a mentor.
2. STUDY the breed standard. Learn about dog anatomy and ask your mentor to
clarify anything you don’t understand.
3. Learn what genetic faults and diseases run in your breed and test for any
that can be tested for.
4. Show your dog in conformation events to see if it is of the proper
quality for breeding. Winning doesn’t always mean a dog is breeding quality,
but being around so many others that know your breed and will talk to you
will do wonders for your self-education efforts!
5. Study the past history of great dogs in your breed. You will see how your
breed has improved and progressed since the beginning of the breed.
6. Study the breed standard some more!
7. Join any Yahoo groups about your breed.
8. Live, dream and study your breed.
9. Get a good book on canine reproduction, and educate yourself about the
pitfalls, problems, and proud moments of breeding. Learn about the
physiology of reproduction, such as heat cycles and venereal diseases in
dogs, potential for problems specific to your breed, and what you need to
expect at whelping.
10. Remember that whelping (giving birth) can kill your female. Being used
as a stud dog can encourage bad behaviors common in intact males such as
territorial marking, aggression, and desire to roam from home.
11. Prepare to be broke. Breeding properly is EXPENSIVE.
12. Line up potential homes for any puppies you produce and write up a
contract. Remember to include that you will be willing to take back your
puppies at any time in their lives that they might need you. If you bring
life into this world, it is your responsibility FOREVER.
13. Prepare to spend sleepless nights attending whelping females, caring for
fading puppies or puppies orphaned, and practice cleaning up after 24/7 poop
machines.
I’m sure there are many things I missed because being a responsible breeder
isn’t just a job. It’s a way of life. You will live dogs. 24/7/365. There
are lots of hard decisions. There is a lot of expense. There will be pain.
But, if you do your darndest to always keep the welfare of your dogs and the
future of any of their offspring, you can go to step 14.
14. Enjoy the love and success of a job well done.
Impossible.
FUNNNYYYYY!!!!!!
Don’t even think about it! They are not meant to stay that size! That kind of dog would have sooooooo many problems. To answer your question, no dog would be applicable to this breed to shrink it. Major NO-NO!

Get a chihuahua if you want a small dog.
breed a yellow lab with a chawolwa to make it stay puppy size if the lab is big i consider using a big chawolwa about 10 pound’s for like a 50 pound lab
Listen..there are so many dogs in shelters needing good homes that it would be wrong of you to breed just because you feel like it..Not to mention the stress a pregnancy puts on a dog. And keeping up with a litter of pups is a huge job!! A female I rescued went into heat and got pregnant before I had a chance to have her spayed and man…. I’m still recovering from the stress it put on me!!! Finding good homes for the pups was the biggest job.. I turned down a dozen potential adoptors because of gut feelings..
EDIT
DogsBest had a great point…breeeders should have a spay/neuter contract!! For example, my dogs pregnancy was a total mistake (really irresponisble on my part for thinking she couldn’t get out of our fenced yard!) and in the add for my pups I said there were specific conditions to be met to adopt a pup.. I wasn’t asking any money for them. Some people replyed saying they would rather not spay/neuter and asked if vaccinating the pup would be good enough.. I said "ABSOLUTLY NOT! They must be spayed or neutered" and they didn’t get a pup!! One couple that seemed ok for a pup slipped up by saying they had a pregnant female come up missing off their property but planned to spay/neuter… They didn’t get a pup either!! I felt horrible about adding 10 pups to the population and taking homes away from shelter dogs.. But I sures the heck wasn’t going to allow these pups to go without being spayed or neutered.
Naturally, big dogs are not meant to breed with little dogs. Many bad things can happen to the parents and the puppies - if they even survive.
Cute idea but that would be a dangerous thing to try to do. You should never breed dogs that are not near the same size.
You want a lab=you want a med. size dog
or
You want a small dog=you don’t want a lab
I know, life’s a bitch sometimes but ya know what that is just the way it is. There are different dogs for different people now quite being a idiot cause people are gonna start getting ticked off by this whole lets make every dog the same size and shape and color and attitude shit. We like variety.
LOL. This job an be done by:
DUN…DUN DUN DUNNNN!
Willy Wonka!
Why would you want to ruin a breed like that? It’s because of people who think like this is why we have so many dogs in our shelters with behavioral problems and health issues. Every breeder out there should have a strict spay/neuter contract on all puppies unless they are good enough to show. Infact, I rather not ulter a dog til they are emotionally and physically mature, but if it helps with the overpopulation if I was breeding again, they would be done before even going to new homes.
Because I like to assume the best about people, I’ll take that as a joke.
If you want a small breed dog, get a small breed dog.
There are NO guarantees with mixed breed dogs. A lab mix, no matter what its mixed with, could still end up as big as a lab. It just depends on what genetics the dog gets.. the funny thing is, it may end up as big as the lab, but having the color and appearance of the other breed you mix it with!
If you want a small dog, then seek a breed that is already small.
If they want a small Lab, have them get a female from English lines. I have 2 small females. One, from unknown lineage is 19.5 tall and 55 lbs. The other from well known lineage in the Lab world(Dickendall, Valleywood, Riverroad, Chucklebrook) is 22" tall and 62 lbs. They are both nice, compact, muscular dogs. Stay away from the american/field lines as they tend to be taller, bigger and leggier.
