Working dogs give Australian farm new hope

Working guiding dogs give Australian farm new hope ...

Cameron Douglas and his wife Danielle work a 20,000-acre farm in rural New South Wales, where they work cattle and sheep and breed working dogs. Cameron says there are no incentives for young people like him to go into farming these days with high paying jobs like mining on offer but he has grown up farming and would not do anything different.

In order to subsidise their chosen profession Cameron and his wife have started breeding dogs both to use in their work and to sell. They spoke to BBC News about the importance of keeping the tradition of the working dog going.

Now,
in Australia they keep the tradition going with dogs guiding sheeps.
Maybe one day a great designer mod builder will make a mod for to re-produce this tradition to keep alive and well.
A start to keep the tradition from Australia would be to have a mod for our sheeps in FS2013 and have larger fields
so to have the sheeps to enjoy larger places to play and eat.

It would be cool to be on a horse and drive the horse like our fs2013 vehicules, Left, right, stop, back up. We could have also a wissel so to guide our guiding dogs so to control the sheeps gang troop toward the farm at different time in the season so to have a sheeps production healthy so to sale our sheep products.

Just a idea ,, but I think it would have a great impact of succes for those who love sheeps production like in Autralia and also will keep those old tradition alive and well for the next generation to come in a virtual farming way to do.

How cool is that ,,, :lol:
