Rescue dogs can be a bit of an unknown quantity sometimes; their ancestry may be unknown, and could be mixture of show-working 
I don't think that it is unfair to say that dogs which end up in rescue tend to be those which have not been bred responsibly - so it is less likely that they have been bred with consideration given to temperament, regardless of ancestry/strain

Your best bet is to keep watching the rescue board here and if you see a dog you think might be suitable then the rescue details are always posted with it so you can give them a call to discuss the dog further. That's how I found Tilly, somebody put a thread on her on here and I rang the rescue as soon as I saw it. Another site which you could look at is www.dogpages.org.uk which is the largest dog rehoming site in the country and is updated every day. Good luck!
