An excerpt from a recent article by the ABC.
Eight-year-old Tommy Lee is off to a flying start as a dog trainer after one of his canine students recently sold for $5,500.
Tommy was the youngest vendor at last weekend’s renowned Jerilderie Working Dog Auction, matching it with men and women many times his age.
Forty dogs sold for an average price of $7,725 at the auction, and the top price paid was $22,500.
The Lee family name is synonymous with working dogs, and in 2021, Tommy’s parents, David and Sarah, sold a dog for what was then a national record of $35,200, giving Tommy plenty of inspiration to give it a crack.
