Today these wonderful dog breeds also act as our companions and helpmates and they come from virtually every section of the world - all over the globe.
Their active minds, trainability and willingness to work have gone a long way to support their popularity with humans. Overall, these working dogs are all dogs that need occupations or jobs to fill their days in order to be most happy and fulfilled.
Due to their large size and strength, many of the members of this dog group may not make suitable pets for "regular families" where there is not a lot of activity going on or an active job for the working dog to perform. Also, due to their working nature, these working dog breeds do require a lot of training.
