[NAGDU] Question about Breeds

I have had a golden, and two labs, and I can tell you that they are or can
be all different.  My golden was as sweet as can be and liked being right in
the middle of things.  My first lab was hyper major but was eager to please
when she was not being stubborn.  My most recent dog was a lab and was as
calm as could be but harder to get to do what I wanted him to do.  Funny
thing is that my second dog hated water with a passion while my first and
third dogs would find every puddle to go play in if I let them.  Lol.  My
girlfriend has a lab gold cross, and he has definite traits from both breeds
mostly between my first and second dogs.
