True. If you step back and think about it, all dogs descended from predators so it would seem that most dogs regardless of breed have a certain degree of hunt and retrieve in them (I don't know about some of the tiny lapdogs, but I'm sure they have it in them somewhere or another).

I dont know how true it is, but I've read that if you took all dogs and turned them loose in the wild and let nature take its course, ina matter of about 10 generations all the dogs in the colder climates would soon look like wolves and coyotes and the dogs in the warmer climates would look like dingos and those wild African dogs. Anything not able to survive would be culled out by natural selection very quickly......survival of the fittest. It's hard for me to believe that could occur in 10 generations, but it makes sense that over the course of time it would occur.
