Mrquinn 106 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 we paid 250 for are bitches and 200 for are dog in the uk it then cost me and my mate 3 thousand between us to have the bitches brought over to holland 15 tun a time seprate occasions petrol money train costs either way a few bags of weed and a cuple of brass for the lad who brought them it culd all be a waste if they are quitters but its the chance we take and me personally dont think there is a price on a dog you have bonded with and even more so if its a good worker<what i havent experianced yet> if its not then its down to yu to swallow your pride and do the right thing and not to be blinded by love for the dog if ars fail they will never be put down or passed on they will be spade and kept as pets for ratting and genral mooching at the moment more or less untried money cuddent buy my dogs dont care what was offerd Quote Link to post

Linton Lad 90 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 a fully working dog 100% seasoned and well proven -- £500-600 .. dog just starting few digs under its belt £375 .. pup from working stock £175.. stud fee £150 .. Where did you dream up these numbers????? Quote Link to post
dogs-n-natives 1,181 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ideal price.... £0 Once you have a good bunch of dogs between mates, you can take turns breeding to keep you all well dogged, using the best of the bunch to breed. You pay enough for the locators and all the gear etc and Im a working man so this talk of 5/6 hundred quid for a dog, is not something Ive ever had to resort to. But maybe if I was totally screwed for a dog I would consider paying a couple hundred if I knew the parents were decent tools. 1 Quote Link to post

MUDD 374 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I know im knew to all this and my dog is still but a pup, but surely if a working dog is viewed by some as a tool for a job then it should be priced in your own head as such, if you were a tradesman you wouldn't buy black and decker you would want to pay the bigger loot for makita or dewalt, so i think if your dog is a grafter you should price it mentally as such. Just my personal opinion, im not interested in using my dog as a sire and wouldn't sell him for the world even if he turns out to be as lazy as my kids. A terrier I might rate as a black n decker could be another mans makita !!!! Think about that !! Quote Link to post

I'm into terriers and I have a grade I like them to meet, like most people. Some people may be happy with a dog that I wouldn't entertain and maybe viseversa that's all. U get me now ?

U get me now ? yeah i get you, but you dont seem to be grasping my point dude, some on here see there dogs as just tools of the trade, and as such surely if you want a tool to do a job then your tool should be priced mentally in your own psyche as better than the BnQ diy/hobby brand. Thats the point i was trying to make dude Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 A terrier is only as good as it's last dig (or two), i wouldn't hesitate to put a spewer under the sod becuase it's a tool but i still wouldn't sell my tools to anyone. I have given many a good terrier away to lads i thought could use it better than me " some working styles and sizes just don't suit everyone" but i still don't and can't put a price on a good terrier. 2 Quote Link to post
bedlingtonman 44 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 i offered good money to a few well known diggin lads wi real good dogs and got no offer of a dog sometimes even 2 grand dont get wat you want lol Quote Link to post
