Don't forget to enter your cattle dog in the Supper Wall and Temptation Alley, both presented by Farmer Dave at this year’s Great Cattle Dog Muster.
K9 SUPER WALL
One of the most iconic outback events is the dog high jump, and K9 Super Wall takes it to a whole new level, being a standout crowd favourite. Run by a handler, each dog competes to jump up an ever-increasing vertical wall to decide a winner - which keeps the audience on edge
TEMPTATION ALLEY
Temptation Alley is an individual timed challenge where your dog is down one end of the arena held by a handler and you the owner is down the opposite end behind a finish line with the course covered in several 'alleys' of plush toys, treats, and other doggie. favourites. This fun-filled engaging entertainment ensures a lot of cheers and laughter from the audience.
