Working Dogs - The Land's best friend

 


Isn't this the cutest pup you have ever seen. He is on the cover of Outback magazine Dec/January issue. There is a fantastic write up "Reef & Beef" about Bullara station where we worked back in 2009. It's a great story & we were amazed at how the girls have grown since we were there

 


Working dogs have been essential part of Australia's agricultural journey & despite mechanised transport, the market for well-trained dogs has never been stronger.
