DOGS - past/present/ future...

Dogs of the past:
-hunter
- herder
-companion
-fighter

Dogs of the present:
- companion
- search and rescue
- assisting the disabled

Dogs of the future?

I want to stimulate discussion on the fringes of the dog world - where breeders are developing the future breeds, these are also usually rare breeds, kept by very few enthusiasts. What roles will dogs play in the future - or will dogs be discarded in favor of robots like aibo...

As much as i am interested in the future, the past is also important - there are many breeds that are fading away due to lifestyle changes and trends. I'd like to put a spotlight on these breeds as well...
