Thanks for your reply. This is what I was told after asking some one for advice after receiving the kennal club certificate. "her pedigree seems ok, a few of her ancestors are a little (hot) but should be bred out of her by now". Looking for a second opinion. Thanks
What do you mean by 'hot'

What sort of dog is it? I would guess "hot" would mean something quite drivey, so known to be happier in a working home. If it's a toy breed or something my interpretation would perhaps not be correct...

I've taken the liberty of editing the original posts to make it a little easier to read.
I would imagine this is about some sort of working/gundog breed? It would appear that the person you asked is saying that the pedigree is ok but that there are dogs within the pedigree that are/were 'workers' eg. 'hot' (needing to work) and not to worry because that should have been bred out (diluted down) in your dogs bloodlines by now.

In a working bred I would expect 'hot' to mean that they were a little wild/full on.

I'm guessing this is a working gundog breed, and your puppy is intended to be simply a pet. It seems the person you asked is hoping that the drive to work (being "hot") won't be too intense for a pet dog.

Can you let us know what breed this relates too?
It may not be working drive, it could mean snappy or sharp.

Could it not also perhaps mean various dogs in the pedigree with undesirable or questionable genetic histories? Maybe a dog who is/was notorious for passing on heart conditions or HD or something?

You should never say never when it comes to the English language and how the spoken word is intended to be received, but no I don't believe this would be an accurate interpretation. It's definitely more of a temperament thing.
