A one-year-old kelpie has just set a new Australian record in dog sales after she was sold for a whopping $49,000.
Eve, who is just shy of her second birthday, has just broken the record for the most expensive kelpie ever sold in Australia, surpassing the former record by almost $15,000.
Breeder and farmer Chris Stapleton told the SMH he always knew Eve was special.
”She went around the sheep, and started working the first time she saw sheep,” Stapleton, from Newbridge said.
“She just had a lot of natural instincts. I’ve trained her since she was a little puppy and she has ticked all the boxes along the way.”
Having bred kelpies for 50 years, Stapleton said that despite modern advances in farming technology, there’s nothing quite like a good hard working dog.

“Technology can’t go out and get my sheep for me, put them in the yard, push them through the yard and be a mate as well,” he said.
The previous record of $35,200 was set 16 months ago by a dog from Casterton in Victoria.
Eve’s auction was attended by bother in person and online bidders.
Her new home will be on a farm in Oberon.
