    Hopefully the baring is from stress. Other then that they look good.

    Sexing yellow labs visually is very very difficult to impossible. Venting them is the only sure fire way to tell male from female.

    Basically you inject air into their anus and put pressure on their stomach to expose their genitalia.

    Venting can be VERY dangerouos and is not suggested unless the person doing the venting is knowledgeable:)

    Venting CAN be the only sure fire way of sexing unless you wait until you see them spawn.
