Seeds grow true?

I was just reading that its easy to collect Dahlia seeds. I save seeds from everything else, so I should be able to learn to do this, right? Or--is that famous last words?
Anyhow, do they grow true to what you collect? Or, do Dahlias cross, as other plants do? At my age, I should probably know this--but I don't. Help, Please?

No they do not....you could get just about anything if you leave it up to the bees....if you are good, you could cross them and then you would know the parents, some better for seed production...there are several Dahlia sights which will tell you know to do it, along with pictures to explain it....Colorado Dahlia has a very good sight...
