Heading dog Jack sold for $10,000 at an auction in Canterbury. The two-and-a-half-year-old sheep dog wrote himself into the history books, selling for a record $10,000 at an auction in Canterbury. Jack's sale price was the highest in the 63-year history of PGG Wrightson's annual Ashburton sheep and cattle dog sale and well clear of the average $3900 price on the day. The heading dog went under the hammer after his owner, retired South Canterbury farmer Peter Boys, moved into a retirement home.
