Working Dogs
With a work ethic that puts most of us to shame the Working dogs live for their job.  If employment is not provided they are sure to create a new opening for themselves since they MUST be gainfully employed. These dogs are known for their intelligence and steady natures. In a word, they are -given the right 'on the job' training- perfect employees!
