I'm not sure if this counts as a "job", but it's definitely something.
My9 month old puppy (Fuji) has taken it upon herself to hunt rodents with a
passion. I first noticed she had a interest in rodents when I went to grab
her "stuffed animal" and realized I was about to grab a rat! She had hunted
it out from underneath the porch. Next, I noticed mole holes around the
yard, and sure enough...there she was stalking the moles as they run through
their tunnels. She does this regularly, and spends a great deal of time on
it. However, her obsession has gone to another level. Now, when she
figuresout where a mole will be, she begins digging wildly until she has
captured and killed the mole. I take them away from her if I get a
chance....poor things. She loves going to shows, loves her ajility classes,
and she loves her rodent tracking!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] "Real" working dogs
>I hear a lot of people talking about how versatile their dogs are and how
they can do just about anything. Well my little girl (Chyna) is out to
prove
it!! Not only is she an "overly trained" show dog, an excellent obedience
dog and a family companion, she is starting agility. And when my husband
needed a bird dog guess who got elected. The funny thing is, she is better
at it than my friend's Labrador. When her breeder told me she had prey
drive
she wasn't kidding!! Is there anyone else who has a funny "job" their dogs
do?
