Jack Mansfield with Jack the dog, who sold for a record $10,000 at the Ashburton dog sale, at Mayfield last week. Bear with, as it can get a little confusing given that Jack - sold for a record price of $10,000 at last week's PGG Wrightson Ashburton dog sale at Mayfield - was bred by another Jack. Lake Hawea Station farm manager Jack Mansfield (24) bred Jack the heading dog, giving him to his great-uncle, renowned triallist Peter Boys, when the pup was 2 months old. Mr Boys, a retired farmer who lives in Timaru, named the pup Jack and trained him up. Jack was bought by Charing Cross farmer Joe Catherwood and both Mr Boys and Mr Mansfield were delighted with the result.
