Working Dog Breeds

The working breeds were primarily used for guarding and search and rescue. Quick to learn, dogs of the Working Group are intelligent, strong, watchful, and alert.

The guarding dogs are exemplified by the Bullmastiff or Mastiff, whose size and substance would be a very effective deterrent to any would-be poachers or thieves. Doberman Pinschers, Siberian Huskies, and Great Danes are part of this Group, to name just a few.

They make wonderful companions but because they are large, and naturally protective.

However, prospective owners need to know how to properly train and socialize a dog. This means that some breeds in the Working Group may not be for the first-time dog owner.
