Episode 3

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.

It鈥檚 been two months since we last met our trainers, and our pups are now seven months old. With summer heat radiating through our screens, the harvests are flourishing. Seasonal shifts have impacted crop and grazing cycles and, with a regional work force shortage impacting their industry, some of our graziers are finding the pressure to train their pups overwhelming.

Since we last saw the puppies they have grown and are developing their stalking livestock techniques and learning manners and basic calls. Steve and Indi in Winton, Queensland are going great guns, but cracks are starting to appear in the Northern Territory鈥檚 Top End for Zoe and Buddy, who are feeling the pinch of the labour shortage. And with no trainer mob to work Buddy on the seven-month assessment, it鈥檚 shaping up to be an epic fail.

Tha d脿 mh矛os bho chunnaic sinn na tr猫anairean, is tha na cuileanan a-nise seachd m矛osan a dh'aois.
Fhad 's a tha teas an t-samhraidh a' de脿rrsadh tro na sgrionaichean againn, tha am b脿rr a' f脿s. Thug atharraichidhean sa ghn脿th-sh矛de buaidh air cuairtean f脿is is ionaltraidh, agus le gainnead luchd-obrach sa ghn矛omhachas, tha uallach a bhith ag ionnsachadh nan cuilean cus do chuid dhe na c矛obairean. Bho chunnaic sinn roimhe iad, dh'fh脿s na cuileanan is tha iad a' gleusadh an d貌ighean seilge agus ag ionnsachadh modh agus 貌rdain bunaiteach.

Tha Steve is Indi ann an Winton ann an Queensland a' dol mar am peilear, ach ann an ceann-shuas an Ranntair Thuath tha c霉isean teann dha Zoe is Buddy a tha a' fulang ri linn a' ghainnead luchd-obrach. Agus 脿s aonais treud tr猫anaidh dha Buddy airson measadh nan seachd m矛os, chan eil a' ch霉is a' coimhead d貌chasach idir.
