THE WORKING DOG GROUP LIST

The UK Kennel Club categorises breeds by their original purpose.

However, the evolution of certain dogs can lead them to be placed in a different grouping than what we would expect.

Working dogs are large to giant-sized breeds that originate from various parts of the world.

They are bred specifically for non-herding jobs and are known for their hard-working nature.

These dogs excel at tasks related to protection and guarding.

Some breeds pull sledges and carts, showcasing their strength, while others join in heroic rescue missions, embodying bravery and hope.
