The working lines are usually smaller, have very little angulation. They are bred to have a very high pain tolerance. This means they do not respond very much to pain. It also means he will not respond to normal corrections and requires much harder discipline to get the dog to obey you. Working dogs have more 'hair trigger' aggression, and generally a higher Prey drive.
