Muster Dogs Episode 3 (S1EP3 ABC TV Sun 6 Feb 2022)
The puppies are now six months old and are very busy developing their stalking livestock techniques and learning manners and basic calls.
It’s been two months since we last visited the trainers, and their pups are now six months old. The puppies are very busy developing their stalking livestock techniques, learning manners and basic calls. After the winter and spring rains the harvests are flourishing and it’s the busiest seasonal time for our graziers who are all struggling to find time to train their pups.
Frank and Annie in Queensland are going great guns, but cracks are appearing for Aticia and Gossip who are in the grips of yet another Pilbara drought, leaving them with no cattle stock to train Gossip for the six-month assessment.
CJ and Spice, along with Joni and Chet, are just flat out busy, so the six-month assessment will be the best they can do on the day with the limited time they’ve had to prepare.
The wheels have well and truly fallen off for Rob and Lucifer who battle through the assessment milestones only to find themselves face to face with a Neil McDonald training intervention in the lead up to the all-important nine-month assessment.
The drought breaks with spectacular rains and Aticia’s stock returns in time for Gossip to give the big herd a go. Chet is working in Joni’s A team and punching above his weight, and Spice is working on her confidence going toe to toe with the big cows, much to CJ’s delight.
Confidence is high for the nine-month assessment and the results are certainly surprising.
