"Endeavoured" is a show dog champion with a lot of silver trophies.
His owner Patricia Sutton describes working life as a show dog, and the qualities needed to compete at national level. Pat is hugely knowledgeable, with an earthy turn of phrase, so the episode is packed with humour and detail. She runs the venerable Rossut Beagles kennel, which was founded by Pat's parents in the 1940s.
Known as Dev these days, the former show champion is living the dream, finding equal success in his post-showing career as a stud dog.
In a first for Dogs with Jobs, we're giving a mild content warning on today's episode: expect a fairly frank discussion about sex and the mating process.
