Seems accurate to me. The dog's temperament should also match the owner's, you are a team afterall. A softer dog under a hard, demanding owner doing field trials may quit under tough conditions - cold wet and miles of work.
On the flip side, an independent dog that was the dominant brute of the litter, paired with an owner that can't enforce the rules consistently or give him enough hard work, will be a pest and a delinquent brat.
I prefer a middle of the pack dog, that must be the kind of owner I am. I fight when I can, but sometimes you just need to paddle with the current awhile in order to miss the rocks.
