Got to admit a show Lab's are massive and a working Lab's are slim jims.

We see a lot of very traditional chunky working labs.  There are a couple of very well known breeders who we eye test for & there are some cracking labs around.  They tend only to sell to working homes rather than pets or show.  Though a lot of them do field trials.

No it doesn't .    

Re. police dogs - some of those working strain malinois (the shorter haired belgian shepherds) they use as police dogs are pretty full on.   Fantastic dogs in many ways but a full time job to have one as a pet I'd have thought.     There are still plenty of good german shepherds though and by all accounts a little less highly strung than your average malinois.

Agreed, Popsider - we have some Polizei dog handler  members (in fact our head trainer is one) in the GSD club I belong to and they almost all have a Malinois or a Hollander Herder. You are dead right about them being full on, they make terrific police dogs but not great family pets.

It's a bit like Miss World really. But not watched it for a while (Crufts not Miss World) although there are dogs on both!

I like dogs BTW (canine kind not rough ladies!)
