1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a dog fanatic and my Border Collie Mini

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: is absolutely my pride and joy, sweetest dog, such a

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: sweet dog, Spoilt as anything. Thrilled to discover this show

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: about these amazing pups. It's the second season of Muster Dogs.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: It follows five adorable Collie pups as they train for

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: a year to become the best herding dogs in the country.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating process watching their instincts meet great training.

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: To see the role they play on these farms is incredible.

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: One of the graziers on the show is Zoe, and

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 2: she joins us.

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Now, Hi Zoe, Hi Amana, how are you going?

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: Very well? Thank you. Now let's talk about where you live.

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: As I said, my dog is so spolt, slips on

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: the bed, eats my leftover salmon. I pick up her poo.

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: Whereabouts are you putting your border colleague? What kind of

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 2: environment is she in?

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: So?

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: Actually, he he, that's right, You've got buddy, that's right.

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: Yes, So, when I received him from Meck and Carolyn,

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: we then traveled back to Catherine in the Northern Territory,

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, he was exposed to some heavy red dirt,

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: right off the bat well.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: It's an incredible part of the world. These dogs aren't pets.

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 4: You.

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: Buddy doesn't sleep on your bed, for example, does he?

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: No, he doesn't sleep on my bed.

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: However, there has been the odd time where he does

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: get to come into the house if I'm in a

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: house that can accommodate him, and he may sleep at

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: the end of my bed.

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: Oh well, well that's softened because in the old days

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: on the farm, wasn't that the dog can't come in

34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: the house because it's become virtually useless once you sort

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: of domesticate them too much.

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. I don't believe that there's a huge

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: bond you have with your dogs. And I take all

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: my dogs. I take them everywhere with me, and there

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: part of the family, and they're very special to me.

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, if I'm traveling somewhere, bud gets to sleep

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: on the swag with me and have a cuddle.

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: So all that there's five of you, five different graziers

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: in different parts of the country, and you've all got

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: a dog each. What role when buddies trained will Buddy have?

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: How important is a working dog for somebody like you?

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: Hugely important in the work that I do. He's basically

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: just we go to work together and alongside each other. Well,

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: as soon as you go to work stock without your dogs,

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: you actually feel very naked, you really do. You feel

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: quite exposed because they have this innate ability to read

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: stock that sometimes I'm even a bit too slow for

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: you go to correct a dog and then you go, oh, yeah,

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: I need to shut my mouth because they're actually on it.

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: And with cattle dogs border collies in particular, it's just

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: in their DNA to rustle up livestock to.

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Go in together and heard that they have a brilliant

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: hurting ability. Right the day's back to how wolves work

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: together in a pack.

59
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: One of the things I've noticed in the series two

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: the episodes that I've seen is talking about the staff

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: shortages on some of these properties. I know a dog

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: can't pick fruit, it's not no, hopeless, but the difference

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: they make where you don't have to have when you

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: can't employ people, the dogs pick up the slack.

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: Absolutely yeah. And that's how I first started out with dogs,

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: especially when I was working on stations the company during

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: the wet season, when you know your team would all

68
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: go away for a break and then you just had

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: a very small crew left left with you or you

70
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: might be the only one. And if there was jobs

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: to be done with stock, well you could go get

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: things achieved by yourself in a very good manner with

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the stock.

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously you can't give us a spoiler alert,

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: but how's Buddy going in the training because despite all

76
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: of this, it is a competition and you have to

77
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: be the best musterer.

78
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: So yes, definite, they won't give out any spoilers. However,

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I will say that I think viewers will be in

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: for emotion on a roller coaster with buds in my journey.

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of laughter and there

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: might even be a few tush.

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: I watched the whole show. I've seen three episodes so far,

84
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: as going, oh, the dogs are so adorable, but that

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: just their skill set is incredible.

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: Can it be as emotional as when Viking went down

87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: on Gladiator the other night? Zoe, that's the big, that's

88
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: the big.

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: That's up to you to decide, Brenda. But this is

90
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: a fabulous, fabulous show. It's a wonderful antidote to some

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: of the stress in the world. Watch this show.

92
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,599
