Why: Ask anyone who lives and works on the land and they will tell you that a good working dog is the heart and soul of rural life. Working dogs can t be downsized, upgraded, outsourced or made into an app. They are just top dogs - agile and energetic, heroic and hardworking, loyal and loveable. Quote: Angela Goode, Top Dog. A research team from The University of Sydney working together with farm research groups has come up with figure showing roughly a fivefold return on investment. The joint study found that while a working dog can cost an average of just under $8000, the value of the work they can perform comes in at a median of $40,000. Many primary producers think of their working dogs as one of the nation s greatest assets and a vital part of the beef industry. Ray White Livestock Rockhampton saw an opportunity to organise this inaugural Open Dog Trial & Working Dog Sale to showcase and celebrate our dedicated dogs and their trainers to locals and Beef Australia visitors. We invite you to become a part of this exciting event. Objective: The object of the trial is to show the relationship between man dog and stock in a display of control agility and stockmanship. The trials will be held on the 3 rd May from 8am at CQLX Gracemere Complex. Following on from the trial we will be conducting a dog sale to give producers and dog lovers the opportunity to purchase a working stock dog on the 4 th May which will be held at the Great Western Hotel.
