From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Working Group is a kennel club designation for purebred dog breeds descended from dogs bred to assist humans with their work.

Dogs of the Working Group were bred to perform such jobs as guarding property, pulling sleds and performing water rescues. They have been invaluable assets to man throughout the ages. The Doberman Pinscher, Siberian Husky are included in this Group, to name just a few. Quick to learn, these intelligent, capable animals make solid companions. Their considerable dimensions and strength alone, however, make many working dogs unsuitable as pets for average families. And again, by virtue of their size alone, these dogs must be properly trained.

According to the AKC, the dogs in the working group are <ref>American Kennel Club Working Group</ref>:
