    They sold a working kelpie in the annual casterton working dog auction named Hoover this year for $35,200!

    I reckon , it did a fantastic job ! When you consider how valuable the dog would be on a large sheep station , relative to the wages of even 1 Human farm worker which comes no where even close to the dog , it really is worth a great deal .

    Well I want to stick up another vid of the 2020 dog competitors .

    it’s fun to see kelpies and other working dogs doing what they love , yes cobber is a dog food company however , they are working with the dogs to get feedback also to make the dogs healthier and all the good stuff , so it’s not just them doing promotional stuff , it’s good work both ways .

    Fun
