Which of the following is categorized under working dogs?

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Doberman Pinscher
Pug
Pomeranian

The correct answer is: Doberman Pinscher

The Doberman Pinscher is classified as a working dog primarily due to its strong physical capabilities, intelligence, and versatility in various roles. Working dogs are often bred for specific tasks such as guarding, search and rescue, and service responsibilities. The Doberman is well-known for its protective instincts and has served effectively in roles such as police and military work, as well as in personal protection. In contrast, the other breeds mentioned, like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Pug, and Pomeranian, are not classified as working dogs. These breeds were primarily developed for companionship, entertainment, or as lap dogs rather than for physical labor or tasks associated with working roles. Their characteristics and purposes do not align with the defining traits of working dogs, thus highlighting the unique classification of the Doberman Pinscher within this category.
