Working Dogs

The Working Dog Breed Group is exactly how they are described; working dogs. This dog breed group consists of a very special range of dog breeds that assist in helping the UK leading services, such as the police, rescue teams and the military. They’re extremely intelligent, loyal, and fearless and range from serious to easy-going. Working dog breeds are mostly large and therefore require lots of exercise and mental stimulation. As they’re a working breed, they like to be given chores to do, like playing with the children, fetching your slippers. They especially enjoy keeping guard outside of your home, so rest assured you will be forever protected with a lovable working dog breed in your home.

This dog breed group requires lots of training and this should be continuous throughout their lives. If they’re not given adequate amounts of exercise and mental stimulation they can become very bored and destructive.

Often, their coats are smooth and fuss-free, making them very easy to care for and keep groomed. Some of the most popular working dog breeds are the Siberian Husky, Great Dane and the Doberman Pinscher. Because of their nature and size, this dog breed group is not recommended for families with young children.
