* Individual variations: Some Labs might reach their full size a bit earlier or later than others.
* Gender: Males generally reach their full size later than females.
* Diet: A healthy and balanced diet can contribute to optimal growth.
* Genetics: Genetics play a significant role in a Labrador's final size.
While the growth plates close around 2 years old, they might still gain some weight and muscle mass afterwards.
