What a gorgeous example of a well handled 2yo huntaway. Awesome!!!

Wow, what a beautiful dog. Impressive.

Wonderful dog, very impressive.

its amazing how hunterways are like this. Our one we brought for the family (hunterway x kelpie) - he is the same, listens to verbal and whistle commands, rounds up all the other dogs at the park, stands up to a bigger more aggressive dog no problem, and his bark terrifies everyone that doesnt know him.

What a beautiful bass voice!

hes got some speed on him , lots of energy

Very impressive especially for a dog not quite two.

He’s a good boy, knows his job,

My dog is quarter huntaway and he has that deep bark

Good work mate.

Good job👍

Does that upward high pitch whistle mean stop?... and then the lower down slower pitch mean go?

Great dog but geez couldn’t yah find a paddock without farm junk.

How many dogs like this are there? Wish we had them in the USA

Bred in NZ for high country farms. Huntaway means to hunt the sheep away from where they are. Usually dog trials are ‘hunting’ uphill not downhill. Thus the importance of the resounding bark. We have ‘Heading or eye dogs’ (not barking) for bringing the sheep towards you. Used for bringing ewes with lambs towards you or in steep hillsides where there is the possibility of a ‘smother’ if sheep bunch into a gateway or gather too quickly in smaller gaps. If pressed to hard the sheep with walk over each other and smother the bottom ones. A true disaster. NZ shepherds often muster huge mobs of sheep and much caution and control of dogs is needed to stop this from happening. Teaching the stop signal and the ‘walk up’signal (not run) is very important as you can see with this great dog.
