Working

Breeds developed for practical tasks like guarding, pulling, and protection work.

Why this group exists

Working breeds were built for strength, steadiness, and reliability—dogs expected to do real physical jobs and stay composed under pressure. Depending on the region, that meant guarding property, pulling loads, or assisting with protection and rescue work. The group is diverse, but the baseline is capability: these dogs were designed to handle demanding roles.
