Fly’s owner Oliver Adlington owns a property outside of Boorowa and says he entered Fly in this year’s competition because of her work ethic.
“Fly has never failed me yet - that's why she's my main dog,” Oliver said.
“Her working strength is certainly her desire to please me; she'll do anything I ask of her and keep doing so all day, and then she'll be just as keen to do it again the next day.”
He said she stands a fair chance to take out the competition.
“She does a fair few kilometres so let’s see how she goes compared to everyone else,” Oliver said.
The competition will see each dog given a GPS collar that tracks their distance, working duration and speed during a three-week period in August.
A total of 12 dogs have been selected for this year’s competition, two from each state.
