Amazing footage shows an epic standoff between a kangaroo and a daring German Shepherd with neither animal backing down until police intervene.

Anthony Hartley from New South Wales filmed the 20 minute encounter off Cooma road as the Kangaroo repeatedly fended off approaches from the German Shepherd.

Hartley said he was driving on Sunday before he stopped to film the intense scuffle.

'I was just driving through on the way back from the snow,' Hartley told 7 News.

'I saw a kangaroo and a German Shepherd have a bit of a scuffle for about 20 minutes, until the police broke it up.'

The much larger kangaroo chases off the fearless German Shepard multiple times throughout the standoff.

But the German Shepherd refuses to back down returning to continually bark in the kangaroos face.

A police officer finally gets involved using a large tree branch to wave off the kangaroo.

The video follows an encounter last year when a kangaroo put a dog in a head lock.
