Dusty Dogs

Welcome to Hypro Group Dusty Dogs Working Sheepdog Podcast: Series 1 – Training for 3 Sheep Trials - Special Edition: What are 3 Sheep Trials? Australia loves our working dogs, and from the popularity of Muster Dogs on ABC clearly we’d like to know how these amazing dogs are trained. This Podcast has reached listeners that want to know more about what goes into educating our muster dogs but not everyone has knowledge of the 3 Sheep Trials … so this is a Special Episode where we’ll find out what the Trials are as well as some tips on getting involved. In this Episode we meet Champion handler and judge, Stefan Cross, Sheep & Cropping Farmer from Strathalbyn, South Australia. Stefan has an impressive record, having represented South Australia 14 times and Australia 7 times, as Captain twice. He is a regular winner of Open trials and sought after as a Judge. He has been awarded Dog of The Year 8 times, most recently in 2023. Stefan is the perfect person to shed some light on the rules of 3 Sheep Trials, the Trans-Tasman and some of the terms we use in training our working dogs. Join us to find out what goes on the Trial ground, what does it mean to cast, lift and draw and more! Find Dusty Dogs podcast on all your favourite podcast platforms!
