The working dog breeds, as categorized by the American Kennel Club, include the following types of dog breeds: the Shepherds, the Alaskan Malamute, the Doberman Pincher, the Yorkshire Terrier, the Irish Wolfhound, the Greyhound, and the Portuguese Water Dog. The sporting group was recognized in 1983 as a separate category from the general working group. These dogs were previously recognized as members of the assistance group only. They are used for protection, surveillance, agility, tracking, herding, hunting, herding, and companion dog tasks.
The working dogs of the herding group have been known to be highly specialized herding dogs. Herding dog breeds such as the Alaskan Malamute, the Doberman Pincher, the Irish Wolfhound, and the Yorkshire Terrier have been known to be used in herding activities. The English Mastiff, the Welsh Bulldog, the Akita, the German Shepherd, and the Australian Shepherds have been herded for sport. These types of dog breeds have excellent companionship qualities, but they are not suited for live herding activities.
Another type of dog breeds that can be classified as working type is the Great Dane. The origin of this type of dog breeds is still being debated, but the hypothesis that it originated in Germany is becoming more accepted every day. It is believed that the Great Dane was developed as a cross breed between a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees. Some time around 900 AD, the name “Great Dane” was used for the first time.
The last type of dog breeds that we will discuss are those which are categorized as non-sporting dog breeds. Non-sporting dog breeds tend to belong to different dog breeds families. For example, members of the toy dog group belong to the toy group of dog breeds while cocker spaniels belong to the cervicogeniture group of dog breeds. Cocker Spaniels are great companions for children, yet they are not allowed to compete in national canine competitions because of their excessive barking. On the other hand, the Great Pyrenees belong to the ornamental group of non-sporting dog breeds.
