I'm not necessarily reccomending either show or working. I'm quite happy with my working line dogs, though if a nice show
line came along that had all of the qualities I was looking for, then I would add them to our pack. I reccomend you go to
SV type shows and working dog trials to see the different types of dogs and talk to the people that own them. If thier family
is structured closely to yours, I would then inquire about lines and what breeder they obtained their dog from.
I'm a working line girl, but I have no problems with a strong, high drive show line.
Dogs from either line can be tough and dogs from either line can be gentle. It all depends on the genetics behind the dog. Some
dogs (even within the same litter) can vary personality wise between high drive hanging from your pant legs to the more service
dog type, quiet yet inquisitive. We all can hope that the litters produced will be uniform in looks and temperament, but that's not
usually the case.
