Muster Dogs

Five adorable Australian Border Collie puppies set out into the world to meet their new owners, establishing a lifelong bond as they take their first steps to becoming a Champion Muster Dog.

As the five-month assessment approaches, the handlers are struggling to dedicate focused time to their pups. Some trainers will stumble and others will leap through the tasks. Through laughter and tears, we discover our pups and trainers have a long road ahead of them.

At seven months, the pups have a strong bond with their handlers. But they face big tests as they learn to herd livestock and respond to calls. The results are certainly surprising.

At ten months the dogs have hit puberty and are starting to show some new teenage rebelliousness. There are mixed levels of success in the assessment, and one of our pups falls gravely ill.

With the twelve month experiment now complete, the Australian Border Collie siblings reunite for the first time to face their final challenge. It's neck and neck but one dog shines brighter than the pack and is crowned Champion Muster Dog.
