Alfie - 10 Week Old Labrador

Alfie is a gorgeous yellow Labrador Retriever puppy who is already overflowing with all the sweetness and silliness that makes Lab puppies so irresistible. At just 10 weeks old, he is in that adorable stage where he bounces instead of walks, tumbles instead of trots, and is still figuring out where his paws are supposed to go. He is playful, curious, clumsy in the cutest way, and full of happy puppy energy. Toilet training is still a work in progress, but he’s trying his best and learning every day.

As he grows, Alfie will mature into a sturdy, medium to large, athletic Labrador—known for their friendly personalities, high intelligence, and loyal nature. He will become a classic Lab who loves the water, and you can expect him to grow into a confident swimmer who’s happiest splashing around, retrieving toys, or joining his family on beach or lake adventures.

Labradors like Alfie are famously friendly, sociable, and sweet natured. They’re gentle with children and other pets, very trainable, eager to please, and highly food motivated, so keep an eye on that diet to make sure he doesn’t become a little too round.

As an active working breed, Alfie will thrive with daily exercise, mental stimulation, and a little “job,” whether that’s retrieving toys, learning new tricks, or simply being part of an active family.

From clumsy puppy paws to confident adult strides, Alfie is the kind of dog who will grow into a devoted, joyful companion with so much love to give.
