In this episode, Pat reveals Glenn his ambitious plan to address the working dog supply and demand issue in Australia by improving working dog genetics in Australia. With a focus on enhancing the genetics of working dogs, Pat’s vision aims to support both law enforcement and sporting groups by producing dogs with superior traits and capabilities.

Pat outlines his strategy to implement a comprehensive breeding program that prioritises health, temperament, and performance.
