Australian Dog
NAME: Jem
LOCATION: Outback
There are nearly 140 million sheep in Australia (seven times the human population), and dogs are still widely used in their mustering and handling.
Australians tend to have a strong work ethic, especially the four-legged ones, and the popular Cattle Dog breed are essential workers on outback properties.
As well as being hard-working, another traditional virtue of the Australian is to be plain-speaking. So true to form, the most popular name for a Blue Cattle Dog is… ‘Bluey’.
