Description: From the rugged sheep stations of the Australian outback to the steep hill country of New Zealand, this is the story of the remarkable dogs that built the pastoral industries of the Antipodes. Tracing the origins of the Kelpie, Blue Heeler, Border Collie and the uniquely vocal Huntaway, the book explores how each breed was shaped by land, livestock and the stockmen who worked them. Along the way, readers discover the distinct working styles of eye, bark and bite, the fierce competition of trial culture, and the legendary dogs whose names still echo across the paddocks. A rich tribute to the working partnership between hand, hoof and paw.
