Sounds like you went w/ a very high powered litter or a breeder who really didn't know much about their lines or the evaluation process. I'd tend to put a very middle of the road to mellower pup w/ a family w/ kids (esp if they are not a hunting home).
    Windy canyon is correct in my opinion. ( And spot on with the high powered litter ) We had no idea what we were doing when we got Macy. We had had a lab years ago as a young couple. As a family, we researched the breed with my son. My son enjoyed that process. However, the breeder info we had no idea on. Backwards? Yes but we didn't know. I found this board, after we had Macy and that's when I learned about breeders and the evaluation process.
