A kelpie that cost a farmer $200 has blitzed a national working dog challenge by running almost the distance of Brisbane to Rockhampton in two weeks.
Buying a kelpie pup that nobody wanted for $200 might be one of the best decisions Tom Perkins has ever made.The farm dog blitzed the competition by running 570 kilometres — almost the distance between Brisbane and Rockhampton — in two weeks."Derek normally sells his pups for about $500," he said.
The farmer said his best mate's effort highlighted the important role working dogs played in the $90 billion Australian agriculture industry. Beloved series Muster Dogs will return on Sunday, December 1. The show will check in on human and canine stars to delve a little deeper into their lives. "That's another reason why we're seeing these fully trained dogs in dog auctions making good money, and they're worth every cent."With a natural working ability, the grazier said Bear didn't need much training at all, but he has set up a small, on-farm training facility to further hone his woofing workers anyway.
