i think it does show the versatility of our breed, and to have bred them yourselves is testament to your values and protection of the breed, it is so sad to see so many breeds changing simply in mans eyes"beauty" many breeds have lost the function to do what they were bred for    i work mine as you know and im pleased with results in field and ring of what dad and i have bred, i am pleased to have another breeders dog here from show lines and his prey drive is ziltch!! mind you she did say brain was optional extra    i love him all the same and will continue to try him working before i use him on my bitches for what he is intended, the bloodlines between mine and his are perfect , bringing right qualities in appearance, the only down side is his lack of prey drive  )
