Spanning the red earth of the Top End to the green pastures of regional Victoria, this new four-part documentary series follows five Kelpie puppies from the same litter on their journey to become muster dogs.
It's spills and thrills as the puppies and trainers stumble and at times leap through the milestone challenges. Frank and CJ are going well but Joni, Aticia and Rob are off to a bumpy start.
The puppies are now six months old and are very busy developing their stalking livestock techniques and learning manners and basic calls.
The puppies are now one year old and have all gathered with their owners to complete their final 12-month assessment. One pup shines brighter than the pack and is rightfully crowned Champion Muster Dog!
Debbie and Snip become the mother and father of the newborn litter of pups in Goondy Creek, NSW; these pups are sent to five Australian graziers, who will each attempt to train their pup in less than a year.
The five-month assessment looms, and the handlers struggle to dedicate focused time to their pups; some trainers stumble while others leap through the tasks; the pups and trainers have a long road ahead of them.
