Utility Group is one that contains a selection of breeds, many of which don’t fit in other groups, but that are defined as having ‘fitness for a purpose’. This means that they were still often bred to perform a useful function, breeds were developed to perform work other than stock work, that is, guarding (Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Dobermanns) and pulling sleds (Husky, Malamute, Samoyed).
