beachdogz Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 It's funny you said that. I know all the reality shows manipulate -- because, actually, if they just went with straight video it would probably be boring. So at the very beginning, I was thinking "I'll bet Lu turns out to be the star in the end." But then as it progressed, I figured that wouldn't happen. I'm not as generous as you. When I saw how well Lu did at the finale, I did not think Rob came through on the training. I thought, "well, there you go! Good breeding shines through, despite the handling." I also agreed with Rob's decision to let him go. What I really would have liked to see is someone like Neil training him from the very beginning. I'd bet he'd be awesome. Ah, crap, Lawgirl was right. I AM a sucker for those bad boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 On another note: does anyone know if the pups were given to the handlers for free in (partial?) payment for being on the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could find on line was this line from an article about Joni: "The kelpie was given to Hall as part of a new documentary series set to air on ABC on Sunday, called Muster Dogs." That makes it sound like the pups were given to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it happen? Will there be another series? Was just thinking about it and wondering. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted March 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 beachdogz, I was actually thinking the same thing last week, and did a bit of googling. I have not found anything new, but when I thought about it, they put out a call for participants in May 2022, then selection of candidates, puppies being born, then 9+ months of training and filming, before you even get to editing, voiceover, music etc I would be surprised if we saw anything before early 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachdogz Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 I couldn't remember the timeline. You are probably right. Oh, the waiting is so hard! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted March 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Something must be right with the timing - the narrator of Muster Dogs also is a morning TV presenter on Australia's ABC, and she confirmed on air this morning that Muster Dogs Season 2 is in full swing, and she even shared a photo of the BC puppies who will be starring. There were several white-face or half white face, I think one blue merle and the more classic black and whites. She is taking time off to write a book about Muster Dogs, which will be released along with the new season next year. I am hoping they release it around the same time as Season 1, which was in January. Have not been able to find a copy of the BC puppies photo, but will keep you informed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adadrian Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 im from Australia I watched this it was cool, it will be interesting to see border collies! I am a dog trainer but not for herding just a fan and watcher of that! (even though I live in the country on an acre ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted June 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 For anyone who has not watched it, Muster Dogs Season 1 is now available on Netflix UK and USA. I hope that means they will pick up Season 2 as well. People may need to rewatch it to make it an attractive idea. It is pretty good for kids as well, I think. Spread the word!

Lawgirl Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 I cannot believe that I missed this brief update, but here is the new Muster Dog class as teeny puppies, with toebeans and puppy piles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K3tn14dtfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have also previously mentioned that the narrator of Muster Dogs was writing a book about the experience, and I just found this link to her book, due for publishing in Australia on 17 January 2024. As she talks about season 2 in her book, I am going to assume that the show will be released in Australia before or at the same time as the book. I have not been able to find an official release date for the show, but this has to be a clue. https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9781460716656/muster-dogs-from-pups-to-pros/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcv-border Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Thanks so much for the update! So looking forward to it. Those are some high white pups. At least the ears are black which usually indicates that their hearing is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hot off the press! https://if.com.au/muster-dogs-season-2-trailer/ Hopefully this trailer is not location locked, but the new season is being released in Australia on January 14 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
