Youngest dog is chief ear cleaner - he'll spend ages cleaning the other 2 dog's ears, he also does mine 
and he'd like to do his other humans' but they are all spoilsports and won't let him.
Ddog1 is park police - whenever she thinks the other dogs are playing too rough (even if they are quite happy) she blocks until they give up and calm down.
Ddog2 let's the other 2 do all the work.

Protector of the air space around our house. Birds, planes, any insect larger than a midgie.......and as for the emergency services helicopter...don't get him started on the audacity of it - flying over his garden. The barking and howling is ferocious
The newfie hasn't really appointed himself a job, apart from grassing up the spaniel! Any time he does something the newf disapproves of, he starts barking to let us know.
The spaniel, however, has appointed himself LOTS of roles! He's bedtime monitor - gets really grumpy if I don't go to bed at my usual time; shoe herder - although he tends to just steal one most of the time; he also likes to keep the floor clean by hoovering up any food type items; and his main role - cheerer-upper! After a really crappy day, he never fails to cheer me up with his ridiculous antics and joyful greetings when I get home from work
It's quite ironic Beer as in her youth she was one of the worst offenders! Poacher turned gamekeeper. 
She is especially protective of her 2 younger, smaller dog brothers and another small boy dog we fostered before he was rehomed by a friend.

Mine is official meet and greeter to all visitors.
He also cleans the floor under DD's high chair until it shines
He is Recycling Assistant. Licks out all the plastic containers before they go in the bins.
Chaser of the pigeons - who eat all the bird food, so a very important job.
And hot water bottle/chief cuddler, which also means that DH has to get me drinks etc. I can't move with a 5 stone dog on my knee
Our Staffy is horse-seer-offer in chief, and to be fair to him he's never let one in the house yet
We also call him the sometimes-apple-core-disposal-unit...he's not nearly as reliable at that!
We live on a farm, so the dogs have full time jobs.
Old boy and pretty dog are VERY responsible for the bullocks in the field next to the house. They actually march up and down along the perimeter fence and do not allow any bullock within three feet.
Most birds are allowed to visit the bird feeders but pigeons are NOT allowed on the lawn.
Neurotic dog protects our airspace. Military aircraft are acceptable, gliders and hot air balloons are not
fat dog is a demon rat catcher. We have never seen a LIVE rat here.
neurotic dog is a brilliant doctor, both physical and mental distress are tended to most carefully
laundry, apparently has to be kept warm if it has been thrown on the floor in front of the washing machine. In fact some used pants clearly need to live in the sitting room 
and the dogs look very cheesed off when I try to put laundry into the machine
One or other dog always accompanies me to the loo, just in case I fall in
I love my dogs :)
our JRT has ensured that no birds fly over our garden, or my mums garden. ..
he also keeps guard over the gard3n from his bed and waits by the front door for dp to come home, an hour before he gets home
