He seems like a really calm and cool guy, did not struggle at all when I picked him up and held him, perfect for taking pictures (I'm sure my girlfriend will take tons of pictures of the little guy once he has moved in).

How about Blivet? Or perhaps Balderdash?
One piece of advice: get him obedience trained, soonest. Labs are a working breed, and tend to be too smart for their own good. I generally describe it as "If you get them obedience trained, you give them something to think about
: what they have to do to be a good dog. If you
don't, that intelligence has to have
some outlet, and it will probably manifest as doing things you don't like!"
A former co-worker described getting a yellow lab. He bought the dog a dog bed, but the dog a wanted to sleep in bed with him. So every night for some nights running, he'd be about to fall asleep, be awakened by the dog climbing into bed with him, and have to kick the dog out of his bed and put it in it's dog bed. One night he had just drifted off to sleep to be awakened by noise and clatter. He discovered the dog laboriously dragging his dog bed up onto the bed. He'd gotten the idea he was supposed to sleep in it, but he was darn well gonna do so next to his person.
