A kelpie described as the “complete package with a cool personality” has been sold for $35,200 (£19,200), breaking the world record for the sale of a working dog.
Eulooka Hoover, a two-year-old male dog, was sold to anonymous buyers at the Casterton Kelpie Association’s annual working dog auction in
Victoria on Sunday, beating the previous auction record of $25,000 (£13,650) set in 2019.
Kelpies are a uniquely Australian breed of sheep dog that are descendants of the British border collie and were developed for herding both sheep and cattle.
