Thanks mike - yes ideally I think the farm type are really good - but the rest of my family aren't into high drive dogs - I found they the one brought up un a home is still high drive but was faster/easier to adapt to fitting into a family home.
I feel like cheating! 
Thanks ever so much for messages and replies - I have plenty to go on now thanks.
