Besides the others mentioned there is Laurien Berenson - her character is Melanie Travis who has a confirmation standard poodle Faith. The dogs in the other mysteries do obedience and maybe a little bit of agility

There is also Susan Conant, whose amateur detective, Holly Winter, has pet Alaskan malamutes. She lives in Cambridge and is very active in the local dog training club. Great books for dog lovers.

Wouldn't Sue Henry count? Her first mystery, "Murder on the Iditarod
Trail," featured sled-dog racing; I haven't read it, but I'm sure the
character owned such a dog.

If I remember the original post correctly, the requester asked
specifically for a female detective. Altho' the main female character
in the Sue Henry books ends up doing detective work, her career is
as a musher. Her boyfriend in the 1st of the 4 or 5 books, is a
Alaska state trooper. That's how she get involved with the crimes.
Also, the relationship with her lead dog Tank (funny how I
remember the dog's name but not the character's name! --
obviously a dog owner myself) doesn't really develop until the 3rd or
4th books.

Altho' they are good books, I say they would not fit the
requirements.

I just remembered another author - Dana Stabanow and her "dog" Mutt - which is a wolf /Husky mix. The character is Kate Shugak. This wolf hybrid, if I remember correctly was extremely bright.

I once had obedience classes with a wolf hybrid in it and it wasn't fun. My keeshond and I had to had to work next to it because Ivy was never appeared threatening to the hybrid.

There is a series by Carol Lea Benjamin featuring Rachel Alexander, PI and
Dash, her pit bull.

--This Dog For Hire --The Dog Who Knew Too Much --A Hell of a Dog --Lady
Vanishes --The Wrong Dog --The Long Good Dog.

Saw these recently when a patron donated a few. Cute covers and titles. Any
dog/cat mysteries are very popular here.
