Tahlia & Stan

Tahlia and her two-year old kelpie, Stan share a powerful partnership built on trust, hard work and shared drive. From a bold eight-week-old pup, Stan has grown into a mustering machine – barely two years old and already reading the paddock before the gate opens.

Stan quickly stood out as the “cream of the crop”. Since he was nine months old, he’s been a daily fixture on the farm, working full days managing sheep and cattle. His strength, instinct and reliability make him indispensable.

Tahlia’s passion for training working dogs has grown alongside Stan. She’s committed to expanding her knowledge, taking Stan with her as they learn new, modern ways to farm. Through their journey, Tahlia hopes to inspire more women handlers to get involved. Together, they’re more than a team – they’re a dynamic duo pushing boundaries and raising the bar in the paddock.
