Correct, that is a working dog point. A caveat to that is that the word "job" is different when used with dogs. It means repeated activity that they have access to. Some examples: https://www.labradortraininghq.com/simply-the-rest/jobs-for-...

My pit/greyhound mix has all the behaviors of a working dog. She likes routine, she'll herd you if she wants something, and she can run for miles for fun without breaking a sweat. She has security around the yard and the house, though it took a while to train her to replacing barking with pointing and to not engage in obnoxious/hazardous behavior while doing security. She does still need play time on top of that, but she'll bring you the rope when she's ready.



heh, because dogs don’t sweat (except through their paws, iirc)
