In a first for working dog sales in Queensland, the Central West Working Dog auction held on Saturday 7th May, attracted a wider audience for their sale by interfacing on AuctionsPlus. The sale marked the second dog sale to be interfaced on the platform for 2022 which utilised pre-bidding; allowing online buyers the opportunity to place bids in the lead up to sale day, while the live video stream on the day allowed those online to not miss out on the dog trials and action of sale day.

Taking out the second top price for the sale and the top priced female, at $9,500, was lot 11 -“Triple C’S Skye”. The rising two-year-old Border Collie offered by ACL Working Dogs was purchased by an online buyer in Charleville, Queensland.
