wow, yeah let me know which relatives they share, this is all so interesting
Are all dogs different depending on who their family is? I mean, I know you get show and working lines, and they can look different, but do they all act the same? Im a bit confused on this front.
No, you can have show dogs who are hectic and hard headed and field bred dogs who are soft and biddable and calm. You can have field dogs who are hard to train, and show dogs who are bright as a button....
The stereotype is for a field bred dog who is sharp and quick to learn but hectic and only suitable for a busy lively pet home who do a LOT of walking. The show stereotype is a slightly stupid heavy framed dog who couldn't be sharp and quick and trainable if you paid him in Bonios.
However far more is about temperament, most of which is inherited from the parents rather than defined by what TYPE of LINE they come from.
For example a show bred dog who may, true enough, not naturally have been bred for its brain power and quick wittedness as a field trial dog may of been, however if that show dog is kind, and willing to please, and you train it sympathetically you can end up with just a good a worker as a field dog with buckets of natural talent who doesn't really give a fig about pleasing you and only wishes to please himself and push off to do his own thing half the time.
You see it all the time. Incrediably naturally talented field bred dogs at training who won't listen, fly around the training field doing what the hell they like - then finally a whsitle gets through, and they charge up and scoop the dummy up, return, sit, present and return to heel immediately! They knew by instinct exactly where that dummy was they wre just getting it when they damn well felt like it.
Then you see a show bred dog amongst the pack, trying hard, thinking to the best of their ability, concentrating, certainly having less natural talent, less speed and maybe even less nose, BUT they cover the ground slower, listen to the handler when asked instead of thinking they know it all, work methodically, methodically knowing they won't wind it from 50 foot away, and bingo! Succeeed much fatsre and in far nicer style.
So its all about temperament and how dogs are raised and trained. Just because your dog is related to Sues dog, for example, doesn't mean they will act the same at all.

Thankyou for that post Diana, that really helped me understand it all a bit better. I know that the breeder said that the litter was bred for their temperament and intelligence. And the mum and dad are lovely, and she has both working and show in her, so hopfully she will have a lovely temperament and wont give me too many problems lol
Arent Labs amazing But I cant believe how much there is to learn and how much I dont know!
Thankyou all so much, I dont know what I would have done, or will do without having you all
Oh and can I be cheaky and ask one more thing, does all of this, what lines they are etc affect how big they are as pups? I know it affects their build and frame etc, but are all puppys the same? Truly seems really big, bigger than I thought she would be, and she had grown LOADS in just a week!
She likes laying here on the bit in front of the fire, on the cold stone, she looks huge when she lays on it, I thought she would be teeny!
