Who do you think will be crowned Australia's best working dog in the 2025 Cobber Challenge?
About the Cobber Challenge
Since 2016, the Cobber Challenge, Australia's Premier Working Dog Competition Has Celebrated Working Dogs Around Australia.
Cobber provides premium nutrition for thousands of working dogs in Australia and internationally. For 40 years, Cobber has worked side-by-side with those that work, live and love the land. During that time, we have learnt that farming in Australia is not like farming anywhere else in the world.
It has its unique opportunities and challenges and requires toughness and resilience from both the farmer and their working dogs. At Cobber we’re about celebrating the farm dogs, cattle dogs, and station dogs that keep the agricultural sector moving and fuelling their spirit for years to come through our annual working dog competition.
The Cobber Challenge has become Australia’s most prestigious working dog competition, recognising the incredible partnerships between farmers and their four-legged colleagues across cattle stations, sheep farms, and rural properties nationwide.
Welcome to the 2025 Cobber Challenge
This is what hard work looks like
From the red dust of the north to the green pastures of the south—and from the coastlines of the east to the wide-open stations out west—the Cobber Challenge 2025 live competition brings together Australia’s hardest-working dogs and their handlers in our premier farm dog contest.
