• Kelpie fetches world-breaking $35,200 at Australian working dog auction ► www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jun/15/kelpie-fetches-world-breaking-35200-at-australian-working-dog-auction
@@markhill9275 had cattle bred border collies my whole life and they are the most loyal tough sweetest dogs I’ve ever been around. They do more work than 3 men on a cattle ranch and they will love you no matter what. They will latch on to you like nothing else matters. I don’t know what bad experience youve had with a border collie but let me tell you it was an outlier.
I have 2 in Sydney suburbia and all they do is try and round up the dogs at the local dog park, Amazing how much their instinct is ingrained in their DNA
I recently saw a retired Kelpie and it’s Owen would take a motor bike around the property each day the funny thing about it was the kelpie wasn’t the one chasing the motorbike.
Who's here because of 'The Fall Guy' and the dog that was featured in the movie? Jean-Claude was my favorite part of the movie. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were amazing.
Y’all realize the Australian Kelpie (in pinned comment) and Australian Cattle Dog (in post) are totally different breeds and have radically different styles of managing and moving stock....surely!?!
Yeah it's a lie, there's Belgian malonois regularly just sold online privately for upwards of 20k£ I'm sure drug dogs and actual 'police' dogs are worth far more
Not sure why the debate over Kelpie vs. Border Collie and which breed is superior. Both are unreal. Collies are supposedly smarter (measured how?) and also a bit quicker and more agile. However a Kelpie has way more stamina and endurance and will still be trotting along way after a BC has gone looking for a drink and a shady spot to rest.
World's most expensive working dog? Clearly you've never heard how much your average guide dog or assistance dog is worth ( which thankfully are usually given to their disabled recipient for little to no money). Most are worth about $30-60,000
In outback Australia you can have multiple people on motorbikes or horses herding or 1-2 kelpie’s, do your numbers and these dogs are worth far more than you think
And there's the typical uneducated rant of the lefty Guardian reader who has no idea how the world works, because their parents were failures at raising children.

They're very friendly happy dogs too. One can't help but be happy when a kelpie is around
We have two working kelpies. They can run all day and are whip smart. Best dogs in the world!
Border collie…..
Agreed. Kelpies are the best!
@@boatsanhs9709not even close

@@markhill9275yes you're right, border collies are so far ahead it isn't even close.
the record is now $49,000 Capree Stud from Newbridge south of Bathurst sold a 20-month-old kelpie for $49,000 at their sale on Thursday.
Holy moly!!
@stevebull4578 Newbridge is in Aus. In New South Wales
Love how he stays well back and applies just enough pressure to get the job done.
We do kelpie rescue here on the west coast in the US. These dogs are probably the smartest breed on the planet.
They should be used more as Sniffer dogs
They should be used for a lot of things! Kelpies and Heelers are fantastically intelligent. @@BenJAMin-o1i
wow I would like to talk to you.. I just adopted what looks to a mostly Kelpie puppy
@@mikebartoli4755 You very well could have!
Right behind a border collie.
He deserves so many belly rubs and treats after all that hard work 😊❤
Wow!!! So well trained, def worth the money!!
Tic tac over the sheep.
Dude this dog is a ninja.
What a talented and awesome animal!
I have a Kelpie (adopted from a kennel) and she definitely wants to herd.

Hes got some speed!
Wow, look at him walking over the sheep 😂😂😂
Love the kelpies, they are the most beautiful dogs ever! ❤🎉🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️🤩
I truly believe that Kelpies are THE smartest breed of dog on the planet!!
because they are.
I am going to adopt a 2 year old male kelpie today.😊
That's what you call a amazing dog! 👏🏽
Who's here because of 'The Fall Guy' and the dog that was featured in the movie? Jean-Claude was my favorite part of the movie. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt were amazing.
Amazing dog. Look how he works sheep as well as cattle, also in yards and paddock, totally infallible, worth his weight in gold
beautiful to behold these masters in action
Best boy
Y’all realize the Australian Kelpie (in pinned comment) and Australian Cattle Dog (in post) are totally different breeds and have radically different styles of managing and moving stock....surely!?!
Yes.
Oh really thanks for letting us know, apart from there totally different appearance I would never have known
💯 true
Yeah it is a kelpie... but to be fair it is also australian, and also works with cattle, and is a dog. So...
In the US, a Hangin Tree Cowdog went for $38,500 at auction a couple years ago!
He's saying "get in there, I'll freaking bite you"
Beautiful dog but I don’t think he holds the record any longer.
WOW What a dog
Alternate title of video: The Magic of Eulooka Hoover
Dude gets paid 100k a month
worth every penny
Higher prices for stock dogs in us... Texas and California
He is not a cattle dog - Hoover is a kelpie. The Australian cattle dog is an entirely different breed.
I have 2 kelpies that sit on the couch all day
@stevebull4578paid $700 for my first female and $600 a year later for my second female
@@shawsie5780god imagine paying for that dude go and adopt one im sure theres many out there
Yep, they love a couch. We hade one and I think they may be a separate breed - a Couch Kelpie.
So, how much is the dog?
Beautiful
And half the price of a paid farmhand and way more loyal I'm sorry to read he passed away 😢
Wait. But aren't protection/police dogs regularly sold in the 30-60k range?
Yeah it's a lie, there's Belgian malonois regularly just sold online privately for upwards of 20k£ I'm sure drug dogs and actual 'police' dogs are worth far more
Looks like the rancher is getting their money worth.
It"s a kelpie, not a cattle dog. Different breed.
yeah it's just a video mate.
I doono if anyone is aware, this dog passed away not long after he went to his new home, as far as I know an electric fence was responsible
Oh no😢😢
Why? Why is the most expensive working dog in the world? What make him the most expensive?
That’s not the most expensive cattle dog tho.
Red Dog

:o so very fast!!!
Awesome
One just sold for 45,000 hahaha
WOW
Does that price of $35,200 include military and PPD dogs when competing for the "Most expensive working dog in the world" title?
Yes. Do you know anything different? Give me their details. Anyone trying to sell a PPD dog for any more than 1/10th is a con artist.
"Sheep worrying" is a criminal offence in the UK.
And a lifestyle choice in Wales.......allegedly....... ^.^
@@stevemac6707 It's not really a choice though, is it?
Well it is really, you don't want to just pick the first sheep you see, you have to look for the pretty ones then decide......
Working dogs are trained not to bite & cause much less stress than machinery especially helicopters that are used in the outback.
I dunno... those sheep looked a little worried...
Wow... 🤩❤🔥
Супер
Loads of dog-nappers liking this video.
Incredible dog breed, I had one when living in Mangrove Mountain Central Coast NSW, Australia, such an intelligent breed
World's most expensive working dog? Clearly you've never heard how much your average guide dog or assistance dog is worth ( which thankfully are usually given to their disabled recipient for little to no money). Most are worth about $30-60,000
That is an assistant dog not a working dog
That cost is mostly attributed to training cost. The dogs themselves go for $4000 and up. My neighbour breeds guide dogs.
In outback Australia you can have multiple people on motorbikes or horses herding or 1-2 kelpie’s, do your numbers and these dogs are worth far more than you think
their cost has nothing to do with breed but the training
Clearly you have misunderstood what what people classify as a working dog
Reminds me of Trump and his followers these days.
wow its so cool to traumatise sheep
The sheep aren't traumatised, Kelpies are the kindest dogs you'll find.
Animal abuse in action. Are we supposed to be happy about any of this?
?????
are you for real? or just a troll
