Worlds laziest Labrador puppy or something wrong?

So my lovely Labrador puppy is 5 months old but she’s so low energy I’m starting to wondering there is something wrong?!

She’s so chilled and sleeps loads. She likes to go for a walk but not too far and likes to play but not too vigorously. She loves to play with other dogs when out and she enjoys her chews (e.g. antler) but is not destructive at all.

But otherwise she sleeps most of the day. Do you think there is something wrong? I was fully prepared for a destructive, loopy Labrador, but I seem to have a lazy lap dog. Not a stealth boast at all, I’m genuinely concerned that something is not quite right. I think I’m going to take her to the vet for a general check up Monday, but just wondered if any one has experienced this?

I thought had a broken lab as well He was a lot easier than most lab puppies knew and known since .
I also had him checked at vets as did worry and had clean bill of health

Is nearly 7 now and still laid back can happily go for miles and still in good health

I went to puppy classes with my lab girl between lock downs. She did everything she needed to do and very well but between tasks she just lay down and chilled every time.
The trainer told me a few times there must be something wrong with her because she didn't act appropriately for her age and breed.
She loved walks though and now runs too very enthusiastically but it really worried me.
I took her to vet at the time then asked for her to be xrayed when she was spayed to check joints. All seems fine according to vet and good hips.
I found her sister on a labs fb group and we've met up now. She is even more chilled out and started training as therapy dog but also no health issues showing.
Hope this makes you feel better. I remember my partner always saying our puppy was so lazy !

I don’t think it sounds normal imo, sorry.
My first thought would be dysplasia, it seems really off to me that a young working lab would be tired 15 minutes in to a walk (did I read that right? Half way in to a 30 minute walk)
