Little Lexi the driving dog

LEXI the little Jack Russell is no ordinary dog – with a strong interest in keeping sheep in check, she’s regularly behind the steering wheel of the farm Ute, bouncing across the paddocks of Parkside Pastoral, just north of Hamilton. Photo: TASH FRANKO.

WITH his one-year-old Jack Russell dog, Lexi, big in the news for her ‘driving’ abilities, owner Cam Zschech has been swamped with emails and calls from a wide range of local and international sources.

For about two months, Lexi has been behind the steering wheel of his Ute after he gave her a go with it idling in first gear across the family farm, seven minutes’ drive north of Hamilton.
