Father of two, Nathan Foy, has worked with a guide dog since he was 18 years old.

Each of his (very different) dogs have accompanied him through various stages of life, according to their personalities and strengths: Hughie, his best mate saw him through his teens into his twenties, with many firsts experienced together; Bessie, whose intelligence and sociability made work trips all over the UK an adventure; Mason, whose steadiness guided Nathan, a toddler and a baby in a buggy safely across town every day and through Covid; and now Joey, who sits at the heart of family life, while supporting Nathan with the challenges of blind parenting.

A breakfast date with a pack of trail hunting hounds
Dogs with jobs pays an early morning visit to the Hursley Hambledon pack of English Foxhounds in their lodges. Amid the early morning excitement of the pack, Kennel huntsman Keiran gives an insight into pack life. He explains that there's no a particular "top dog" among the boys. The social hierarchy is more complex and changeable among the girls. Surprisingly, the individual canine most "in charge" is not a foxhound at all - but a pint-sized terrier called Poppy. With at least one, occasionally two litters a year, scenting talent and knowhow is passed down the generations within the pack over time, as older hounds retire and the youngsters join. Kieran's affection for the hounds is evident. When pressed, he admits to having a favourite, who will live with him as a pet once she retires. Connected episodes Bloodlines and breeding: the breeding of hounds for a trail hunting pack Meet Debit and Dervish, the hunting hound puppies Do you work your dog or dogs? Kate is generally obsessed with working dogs and loves to hear about them – the more varied the better! Keep the introductions coming!

Dogs with Jobs Christmas special marks four years of the show
In this Christmas AND 4th birthday show, creators Kate Fairweather and John Welsman discuss how Dogs with Jobs has evolved and play snippets from some of their favourite episodes. They celebrate four years of fun making working dog podcasts together and discovering more jobs being done by dogs than they had ever thought possible back in 2021. What started as an amusing lockdown project created by two community radio volunteers during the pandemic quickly showed it had legs. Dogs with Jobs took Podcast of the Year at the National Community Radio Awards 2022 and has been a top 10 pets and animals podcast regularly since then, while growing an international audience. The first episode of Dogs with Jobs podcast aired in January 2021, and featured Acorn, a golden Retriever who worked as a reading assistant in a Petersfield primary school. At the time, dog walking was one of the few ways to get out of the house under the UK's strict lockdown rules. So early episodes were recorded outdoors, which contributed to the podcast developing its distinctive "on location" sound, and relaxed interviewing style. Episodes referred to in this episode: Edie, Max and Joe the sheepdogs, and how to spot herding talent in a puppy Giglee the truffle hunter gets a surprise Medical detection dogs with Dr. Claire Guest CBE Darcy - a human/canine partnership in full bloom Ninja the barkour dog - a charismatic collie and his talented handler Dogs with Jobs features the full range of working dogs, therapy dogs, military and service dogs, assistance dogs, bio detection dogs and other, random occupations such as truffle hunting, modelling and more.
