Dogs Bred for Protection and Labour
The Working Group includes large, powerful breeds originally developed for guarding, pulling sleds, and performing other labour-intensive tasks. These dogs are intelligent and highly trainable but require firm leadership.
Key Breeds in the Working Group
Popular breeds in this group include the Australia Cattle Dog, Australian Kelpie, Collies, Border Collies. Many are still used in police, military, and rescue work due to their strength and reliability.
Owning a Working Breed
Working breeds need regular training, physical activity, and mental stimulation. They are best suited for experienced owners who can provide structure and a purpose for their natural working instincts.
