Description

At an operational station in Australia, dogs are now being trained for service with the Army. Having been used to work amongst stock in the vast cattle stations, they quickly become proficient in the special duties for which they will be required. Following a scent, raising an alarm, and, if need be, attacking will be their main aims. Their first training will be to get used to a lead.
