Starting Research on Bloodlines - Page 1

I did not want to hijack another thread with a completely different topic.   I see this litter pedigree and I am working to educate myself on what I am looking at.
Would this litter be considered probably high drive, high work?  I am guessing this by the titles that both sides have.

KHLEWIS, this is nothing good or bad on your litter.  I am just starting my education on what to look for in pedigrees.

Here is the thread that has the link to the pedigree of the litter.

Bump
I would really like some more input on this.

Thank you those that responded by PM.  It has been noted that this line is likely a high prey drive line on the Sire's side. 

I might not have explained myself correct on my post.  I am not looking for if this is a "good" or "bad" line. 

I am looking for what kind of temperament to expect.  For example:  "I have a dog out of so-n-so on the Sire's side.  They have a very high prey drive.  I have a dog from this breeding before; great herding instinct.   I have a dog from this bitch, different sire; very sociable. "

 

Well,  I can tell you a bit about the sire and dam themselves if you like. The dam is very high drive, but also has a good "off switch" and becomes a couch potato in the house. This could also be because she gets the needed exercise and mental stimulation required to keep up with her high energy level. The sire is a bit more laid back that her, he likes to run, and has appropriate play and defensive drive, but was raised as a house dog, so also just requires daily exercise and mental stimulation to be the perfect house pet. He is very leery of strangers, more so than my other dogs, so I don't know if this is how he was raised or simply his nature since I did not raise him from a pup. 
Both parents have very even temperaments and don't over-react to situations and both are proven herding dogs with our goats and horses, so their drive is not so over the top that they are a danger to livestock. 
 

I also own the dam's half-sister (same sire, Ali) and she is even higher drive that the dam. Also know several people in the area with spayed/neutered pets that are half-siblings to the dam and they have high drive, but great temperaments as active family members. 

Thanks KHLewis.  This is great information for me.  (I did not want to hijack your other thread).

Side note (I can hijack my own thread )  How is new momma doing?  15 pups has got to be a handful.  Be sure and post growing up pictures.

My dog is a first cousin to this litters dam - their sires are half brothers. My dog also has a good off switch, and a temperament to die for. She is a very good judge of character, and I've seen her both greet a stranger with her tail wagging, and race over and bark-and-hold one against my car, teeth bared, in that "You move I'll rip your face off" kind of way, until I got there and called her off.  That being said I can take her any where and trust her 100%. She is also proven at herding, and impressed the heck out of the trainer when she went for her Instinct Test. I've noticed a lot of decent herding dogs from that line around, one won a championship, I believe, can't remember her name...
 

Dawulf, thanks.  Can you post the pedigree link of your girl?
