The Cobber® Challenge is a celebration of the unsung heroes of Australian farms – working dogs. Twelve competitors are selected; two each from TAS, VIC, NSW, QLD, SA and WA. These dogs are given a GPS collar that tracks their distance, working duration and speed over a three-week period. Points are accorded, the dogs are ranked and by the end of the challenge we have a new Cobber Champion.
In the last few competitions, dogs have regularly clocked over 50km in a day, highlighting what a vital member of the team they are. Cobber provided the fuel for these dogs, as it does for thousands of working dogs every day around the country.
