This thread started by someone saying they would rather have a steady dog than an intense/high desire dog. I say you want a high desire dog that you can steady. Steadiness is an obedience command (period). Desire is breed into a dog you can't put it in. So when it comes to breeding I say breed for the 4's Nose, Pointing, Desire, Water (all needed for Prize I) and train the 3's (need for a prize I) steadiness, heeling,retrieve etc. to be 4's.

I have yet to see a dog score a 3 in desire, water, nose or pointing get a prize I.
