When we got our lab, we got a feeding regime from our breeder - did yours not do this? with larger breed dogs like labs, you really do need a dry food that will *not* allow the dog to grow quicky. You really want the dog to grow gradually, so as not to put stress on bones & joints. We use Hills large breed puppy for our lab - and kept her on it until she was around 18 months and stopped growing.
What our breeder was feeding our pup was a mixture of oats / kangaroo mince / grated apple / carrot & some organic supplements. I'd make it up in huge batches and freeze them, with one in the fridge. I see you're in Victoria, my breeder was Catraz Kennels and if you google her and email her, she may be able to give you the recipe. Else I can hunt it out with Tara's papers.
