No because genetics have a lot too do with it, puppies are not blank slates

its for the same reason why you don’t except a golden retriever to herd or a border collie to naturally retrieve

and some like aggression only show up as the dog matures

Exactly.
But my golden does know how to herd and i didnt teach him. Its so hard walking in a group cause he tries to herd if someome walks to far away.

Personally i wouldnt go with them as they are missing clearances in the great dam and sires. Are you looking for a golden specifically if so what area are you willing to travel to. I can list a golden forum im on they have a ethical breeders list.

 

[Ilovemychicks08]

Here is the list. There are so many breeders/ breed clubs listed on here.

Washington, but as @SpotTheCat said, I’m unable to wait more than a few months some of you may know I’ve been struggling a lot with mental health and I could… not be here… if I don’t get extra support. But I also am fully aware that I can’t just rely on this dog but at the same time I know it’s really important to get from an ethical breeder.
