Find That Dog Doin' Its Job

[tigergrrrl]

Find that dog doin' it's job!!

I name a breed, and then you find out what one of his jobs was in the breed's history and post a picture of the dog doin' its job. When you get the picture, you get to post the next breed for someone else to find the job.

1st:

Great Dane

Pekingese have no functional job other than lowering the blood pressure of their human companions via canine companionship ;)

I would like to see a Caucasian Ovcharka, please:)

i ment a flat-coat being agressive, being like a police dog, not a hunting dog

[Giselle]

Are flat coats commonly used as police dogs? This thread is asking for dogs accomplishing the tasks they were originally meant for. Thus, the GSD herding and the Flat-coat retrieving ;) Instead of writing "flat coat being aggressive" which gives a slightly negative connotation, you could write "flat coated retreiver as police dog".

[Flatcoatluver]

flat coats were bred for retrieving but also pointing the bird out too, i just thought i would like to see if there was any police dog flat coats, because someone did a german shepard herding and I din't even know they did that, when i wrote a flat coat aggressive i wasn't thinking and i was tired so i forgot what police dogs where called

LOL! German Shepherds original job was exactly that! They were SHEPHERDS! :D Also, GSDs are in the Herding group and not the Working group for a reason ;) I think way too many people forget what GSDs were actually bred for.
