pip1968 2,490 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 ye know a few lads who have done this and some have taken the dogs back as they just didnt make the grade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Seen parents of pups I've bought but wouldn't say it was a trial. If I was parting with good cash I'd want to see it do what it says on the tin. You wouldn't buy a car without trying it so why not a dog? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham4877 1,181 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'd wanna see the dog on . with its owner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woz 260 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's got really common with horse's.....for me if I'm paying decent money for the dog I'd want to go out with the owner and see the dog run and do as claimed....wouldn't trust anyone to take a dog and trial it.....

R.A.W 1,987 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 what strikes me is how much of a leap of faith it would be for the buyer or seller. "the dogs no good can i have my money back"............................................. "i've spent the money i'll get it for you in a couple of weeks" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ahhh I see what your asking now, no wouldn't do that. If I was selling a dog and someone wanted a trial. He would come out with me with the dog on my land. Once money is exchanged that's it unless its howling his place down etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boyo 1,398 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 a trial only works if both parties are totally honest and trustworthy found in the past this is not always so .so would never let anyone take dog on trial but very rare i sell a dog . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R.A.W 1,987 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Why would anyone be selling an adult dog that was any good midway through the season , exactly but one mans good is anothers great. if that makes any sense i would never even consider it. the only way to find the right dog is though hard work,time and a lot of love. there are many out there looking for a quick fix with no effort.

R.A.W 1,987 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Why would anyone be selling an adult dog that was any good midway through the season , Theres loads of reasons, divorce, prison, crippled in a car crash etc the dogs too slow. it jibbed, won't retrieve, chew the dog run, howls the place down, pisses on your best shoes. surely if a dog was that good a friend would take it on. not many of us hunt alone all the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
