Which breed is a Working Breed?

• A. Akita
• B. Beagle
• C. Pug
• D. Papillon

Answer: (A)

Working breeds are defined by tasks that require strength, endurance, and trainability—guarding property, pulling loads, or performing specialized work under human direction. The Akita fits this role: a large, powerful Japanese dog historically bred to guard estates and hunt large game, with a temperament and physical build geared toward work and duty. The Beagle is a scent hound bred for tracking game, not heavy work; the Pug and Papillon are toy/companion breeds developed for companionship rather than functional work. So, among these, the Akita is the Working Breed.
