July 21, 2024

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. By collaborating with top breeders and leveraging advanced genetic testing, Pat believes it’s possible to significantly improve the quality of working dogs. His plan includes establishing a national facility and program to track the genetic history and performance metrics of breeding pairs, ensuring only the best dogs contribute to future generations.


Improving working dog genetics in Australia is central to Pat’s initiative. This effort is set to revolutionise the working dog landscape, providing law enforcement agencies with more reliable and efficient canine partners. Improving working dog genetics in Australia will also benefit sporting groups, as these dogs will not only be physically adept but also possess the mental fortitude necessary for competitive environments.


Improving working dog genetics in Australia is key to making working dogs great again. Tune in to this insightful episode as Pat shares his detailed approach, highlighting the importance of improving working dog genetics in Australia to shape the future of the country’s canine workforce.
