Working dogs provide an essential service to the countryside, and have an important role in almost all field sports. Whether they are stewarding livestock, hunting or retrieving game, or competing at a country fair our working dog breeds perform a multitude of tasks, with unquestioning loyalty. Dogs and humans work together in a myriad of countryside pastimes and activities, many of which would be virtually impossible without canine skills and assistance.
