If you're a dog lover, you'd be no stranger to the impressive intelligence, agility and loyalty of working dogs. But these special animals gained a whole new fan club with the hit TV series Muster Dogs. Today I speak with the owner of star pup Gossip. There is a lot to breeding these amazing canines that are so highly sought after on farms that some are worth a small fortune. Happily, for those of us who don't own one, Teesh Grey from Pilbara Working Dogs photographs life on her outback station for us all to enjoy. We discuss:
- Teesh's favorite place on the land.
- Working dogs weren't always her thing and she shares how she started.
- The most famous of Teesh's dogs is Gossip who had a starring role in Muster Dogs. Teesh gives us an update on how she is going now.
- Working dogs are so valuable to farmers often doing the work of several people.
- The Australian record for a working dog is $50 000 and Teesh explains why this is actually a good investment.
- The most common working dogs are border collies and kelpies and, Teesh's preferred breed.
- In her spare time Teesh is a photographer taking gorgeous photos of the kelpies.
- What she loves most about life on the land.
- The most unexpected thing to happen in the running of the station.
