Dogs in Action
From performing in championship shows to working with human companions, these canines do it all! Why not try drawing these active dogs?
Agility contests are like dog Olympics—here a Pomeranian shows its ability to follow commands and handle an A-frame obstacle.
German Shepherd Dogs often get special training to become seeing-eye dogs who safely lead the blind.
Some dogs are trained to go on rescue missions. Saint Bernards are used to find lost travelers in the Swiss Alps.
Herding breeds, such as the Old English Sheepdog, work to control the movement of livestock, including sheep, cattle, deer, and even chickens!
Other “working dogs” have learned to pull sleds or carts. For example, Bouviers were originally bred as farm dogs who both herded cattle and pulled milk carts. Today’s Bouvs still enjoy carting exercises!
