Working dogs are considered some of the smartest breeds of dogs. As stated from Wikipedia a working dog is: a canine working animal, i.e., a type of dog that is not merely a pet but learns and performs tasks to assist and/or entertain its human companions, or a breed of such origin. In Australia and New Zealand, a working dog is one which has been trained to work livestock, irrespective of its breeding.
Many people prefer to have working dogs as their choice of pet. Working breeds are sturdy, powerful, and focused dogs that can be found functioning as military dogs, police dogs, guard dogs, service dogs, and farm dogs. They are highly intelligent and fearless, though their personalities range from very serious to easy-going.
