About

Flynn is a hard-working, loyal cattle dog who’s been clocking serious miles since he was 18 months old. Part of Ben Wade’s 14-dog team in Narrangullen, he stands out for his drive, independence and no-nonsense, old-soul working style. Whether it’s sheep or cattle, Flynn reads the mob and takes control – no fuss, no frills.
Trained in traditional cattle herding, he’s got a powerful nose, front foot and heel, making him a natural leader in tough mustering conditions. Working with him is almost hands-off – Flynn flies across steep terrain with purpose and precision.

Off the clock, Flynn is full of personality. He’s happiest riding on the ute, leaning in for a cuddle after a long day. He’s not overly social, keeping his loyalty close and his focus sharp, often putting in 10-hour days without hesitation.

Flynn doesn’t need praise – he works for the love of the job. But a good feed at day’s end never goes astray.
