This is a broad category comprising police dogs, sled dogs, guard dogs, and draft dogs traditionally bred to pull carts. Many of these breeds are naturally versatile because they have been bred to perform multiple jobs, such as hunting, guarding, tracking, and serving as a companion. The common denominator is that they are all designed to assist humans in some capacity. But their natural working skills can veer in unwanted directions without adequate training and human interaction. Owners must be prepared to supply firm and consistent training for working breed puppies, lest they grow into unmanageable adults. Although they vary in appearance, working breeds are generally large and sturdy. They possess high levels of stamina and endurance and a natural affinity for human contact.

Siberian huskies, working dogs developed to pull sleds over snow-covered terrain, need to be kept busy and active if you don’t want them to get into trouble.
