'Worth every cent—what that dog will do for the next person will save him that money in two years,' the dog's breeder, Robert Macklin, told 9 News.
Training kelpies, a breed of herding dog popular among ranchers and farmers, has paid off in spades for the Lees of Victoria, Australia.as their two-year-and-four-month-old kelpie Eulooka Hoover sold for a staggering $35,200 AUD at the Casterton Kelpie Association's Annual Working Dog Auction, smashing several records.
Lee believes that Hoover's demonstrated well-roundedness was the source of his appeal. Most herding dogs, according to ABC, have an special knack for one facet of herding—paddock work or yard work. But Hoover is adept at both, making him a rare and, evidently, valuable talent. Regardless of ability, $35,200 might seem like a lot to pay for a single dog. But Hoover's breeder, Robert Macklin, said Hoover was well worth it, according to 9 News.
