These accolades are a testament to the dedication, passion, and immense hard work of our entire crew and participants, whose unwavering commitment brings this remarkable series to life.
At its heart, Muster Dogs is a celebration of the profound bond between skilled graziers and their extraordinary working dogs. The series follows passionate graziers from across Australia, each given a puppy from the same litter to train to be a muster dog. Over the course of 12 months, audiences witness an inspiring experiment in patience, perseverance, and skill as these greenhorn pups evolve into essential members of mustering teams.
Through breathtaking landscapes and intimate storytelling, Muster Dogs captures the essence of rural life, showcasing the grit, heart, and determination of Australia’s farming communities. The series offers an action-packed yet deeply personal insight into the lives of these dedicated graziers and the incredible four-legged partners who stand by their side.
A huge congratulations to all the winners at this year’s AACTA Awards! We are immensely proud to be recognised among such outstanding talent and to continue sharing the extraordinary stories of Australia’s muster dogs and their handlers with audiences everywhere.
