    Most I’ve ever payed for a dog was £200 I felt like my pants were being pulled down I asked if there take 180 for the pup they said no there worth £200 all day long I walk away with a pup at 200£ probably one of the best dogs I’ve had I haven’t bought a dog since ,bred 2 an was gifted the last as a returned gift if I ever breed again I can’t see me asking a £1000 up a pup lol if I had to sell one or two but to be honest I’m not all that keen on selling pups if I did I’d probably only charge £180 -250 a pup but to be honest the more I think about it probably better just breeding for your self a

    I used to put serious miles in when younger with my cousin an his foxer/all rounder types we used to trek for miles looking for gear to run don’t think I’ve got them distances still in me in one night lol makes what I walk now like a quick walk in the park in comparison yeah i have got the bug still I think it’s more for not wanting to fail the dog by not putting time in to getting her behind stuff

    That’s good going for day time mooching about Fred. The important thing is you enjoy what you do an being out with the dog?

    Yes mate the 22nd of august I started her on the lamp till now ?? I mean I don’t get no numbers I find my self walking/covering about 6-9miles on a average lamp trip just for a few runs but ya gotta be in it to win it as they say I wouldn’t be running nowt sat on my sofa I think most people would of jacked by now covering that distance for just a run or two at a time

    think it’s been pretty thin on the ground for most people the further down the country you come from the north we all just gotta keep ticking over on what’s available but not go to mad but to leave a couple kicking about to breed up for next season. Really happy with her mate I’m made up with her tbh
  7. poxon
    Cheers ??She’s got a pretty good catch rate to be far on her Fred she’s averaged from 50% to 75% nearly all season so far we only had 5 blank trips we ain’t got no numbers round here there very thin on the ground Ive had to keep switching up spots to try an keep her ticking over an be careful not to completely wipe spots out.

    Have you had a multi meter across the dimmer terminals to see if it’s the on/off switch that’s gone or the dimmer as if it’s the dimmer switch that’s gone it can be by passed to work as a normal lamp to get you by till you find a new lamp. I love the variable lamps id probably cry if mine was done for the thought of using a modern day LED lamp don’t sound appealing as I can’t see nowt with them LED lamps

    I was looking for a variable lamp all over for a mate had little luck in finding one. Can yours be repaired mate you had a look at the wiring?

    Your probably find something fella keep the faith you need to test the waters properly good place to do it’s on here if they say there’s still good people in this game that don’t want your pants round your ankles lay all cards on the table ie your bitch breeding, age,agenda why your breeding what your expectations are from the breeding show them the work your bitch does

    Mate it’s who’s ever crossing the palm with gold gets the pup home is irrelevant pet/work/race crazy ain’t it but I find it all strange how some people on here are still delusional to the fact that there saying dog lads will gift other dog lads pups an they won’t have to pay a high price yet on here you have lads doing litters but there’s no influx of pups available as gifts or at working mans prices to working homes you only see the odd lad gifted a pup out a litter on here yet there’s people on here saying there pay the going rate asked if the dogs are bred right. Tbh I’ve never been one for

    I’ve got a Peugeot partner work van I hate French motors there not for me I like German build quality in my cars but the German build vans are so over priced like the t5s an caddy’s bloody expensive. Think the vw passat estate makes a good dog wagon.I had a mk4 golf 1.8t that I used as a dog waggon for a bit plenty of room to get two large Lurchers in the back of once back seats were dropped

    I’ve worked pure whippets years ago in the 90s I was only a kid we used to ferret with them an lamp them they were great little dogs they were oakbark an nimrodel breeding ive had a bit to do with whippets an beddy whippets in the last 10yrs or so a family member used to run a couple of beddy whippets an a penny meadow breeding whippet that was pretty decent my last beddy whippet died last year tbh I personally think I’d never own a f1 beddy whippet again with all the peddling of the cross going on mine wasn’t the best lamping dog but round the warrens she was a handy dog or as a busher she co

    Not one person as asked how olds the bitch ?? why would you breed from a bitch that’s not determined an committed to quarry that holds back on striking im not calling your dog or mates or who ever it is.ive been there my self with a bitch that held back on strike wouldn’t get involved with killing id call that a didn’t make the grade not up to the job id certainly wouldn’t want to breed from such a dog

    Tbh mooch there pay the going rate for the cross they want there’s not a lot of choices in the matter ie like us being beddy x enthusiasts what we meant to do if we can’t get our beloved beddy crosses take on a cross that don’t suit our requirements or give up dogs it’s a tough shout but there what the options could be. I think it will make a difference in the long run I know no one’s holding a gun to no ones head saying they gotta pay high prices or take a certain cross but at the same time the high price is the encouragement to breed there’s dog lads breeding now that are demanding the premi

    I think the next few years in the working dog game is going to be interesting to sit on the fence with a beer an watch it all unfold I think we going to see loads of underhanded stuff going on there’s far less none money orientated people than there is money orientated people In this game bet there be plenty of dog lads nocking litters out because of the return is so high there be using there misses to sell on the for sale pages to keep it all secret squirrel

    My answer to the question I was asked was a simple i don’t really know tbh I think the prices people are asking now will have a nock on effect down the road and in the working dog game
  24. poxon
    How do you think the current price rise in pups will effect the quality of pups bred in the long run for work this was a question I was asked today by a old hand in the working dog game what’s your views on this?
