Kinda sidetracking off another thread.

There has been lots of discussion lately about working rotts and where the breed has gone astray. What I would like to know is just what is a working rott in this day and age. Humans have virtually eliminated the need for dogs to work in the real world. While I agree that we need to maintain the rott as a solid working breed and not some show only pretty dog, how is that done? I've defined a working rott as a highly trainable, stable dog that can handle nearly any job thrown at it, but I would love to here other definitions of what a working dog is in the present day and if a working dog is a true "working" dog then in what venues does it need to be working?
