Huntaways are large, deep-chested dogs that generally weigh in the region of 25–45 kilograms (55–99 lb). Their coats can vary in colour; colours include black, black and tan (usually) with some white or brindle. The huntaway was developed as a breed in response to farming conditions found in the New Zealand high country. The vast pastoral runs or 'stations', such as those in the high country of the South Island, required teams of dogs who could work mustering for days on end, covering great distances on rough steep country. High country stations typically cover many thousands of hectares, and were often unfenced.
