Working Group Dog Breeds: Powerful, Intelligent, and Built for Duty
The Working Group includes dog breeds developed to perform essential tasks such as guarding property, pulling sleds, and assisting in rescue operations. Recognized by both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC), these breeds are known for their strength, intelligence, and unwavering loyalty. From the protective Rottweiler to the tireless Siberian Husky, Working dogs excel in roles that demand endurance, focus, and trainability. While they thrive with purpose-driven activity, they also form deep bonds with their families and can be affectionate companions when properly trained and exercised. Popular Working breeds include the Doberman Pinscher, Boxer, Great Dane, and Alaskan Malamute.
