Purpose driven Dogs- Mush!
While many dogs are simply man's best friend, other dogs have additional serious jobs. Working dogs generally have natural instincts that are carefully honed with intensive training to perform a specific task. AKC and dog breed organizations categorize certain breeds into a "working group." of herding, tracking and guarding That includes our lovely Scottish Terreier, a farm dog, who can herd cattle and here on Fair Isle is having her internship in tracking Sheep. Call it OJT On The Job Training!
Many canine jobs besides those born for herding include, Service Dogs, Police Dogs, Military Dogs--- WAR PAWS
Detenction Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs. Bird Dogs, Tracking Dogs, Sight Dogs, Herd Dogs. We love our dogs! I trained Skyelark based on this course I created, compiled fromt he wisdom of professionala and amatuer dog whisperers alike:
