Episode 07 – Selection of Working Dogs

This episode explores how specific dogs are selected for specific working roles.
Jacques and Dr John Greyvenstein discuss inter‑breed and intra‑breed differences and how genetics, human selection, and historical breeding shape canine behaviour.
They discuss how dogs were developed for hunting, herding, shot stability, and scent work.
Examples include Labradors, shepherds, and terriers.
The focus is on matching genetic predisposition to task, then refining ability through targeted training.
