Moorside 642 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I agree with that to a point but sticking a pup on the web for free is asking for a pain in the arse. Gifting to friends is totally different Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I accept that not everyone's in the position to have pups gifted so have no choice but to buy. However, this bollocks about putting a price on to put off the peddlars is a fallacy. Peddlars buy & sell dogs thats their game....so putting a price on wont deter them. As someone said about pups for big money.....c**ts is all they are Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) money wouldn't be an issue for me --- the breeding would and if I wanted it and if it was right for then I`d pay the money me.....I knew a man who worked his terriers hard week in week out he bred maybe one litter every 4 years or so from the right stuff out of the litter he`d kept 2 for himself all his dogs grafted and where bred tight and they won in the show ring if they didn't work money back offer ----------how much would you pay for these pups stick a few replys up and I`ll tell you what digging lads where offering ...

marshman 7,756 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I can only say what I thinks a fair price, and I think £150 is fair for any pup no matter how tight or how good they done in the show ring lol. No garrantees with any litter jmho !! Quote Link to post
b53hunt 15 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 i dare say 500 plus because ive heard a similar story before Quote Link to post
riohog 5,657 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 think pups should be at least 2 grand each , hopefully that will prevent some of the numptys buying them Quote Link to post
nasher1 258 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I know someone with a litter of blacks at the moment, for the spare pups he wants £250 a bitch and £200 for a dog, their from good parents and I've picked a dog myself. Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 i would be willing to pay a fair wack for the right pup. but i consider 150 a fair price. if i had to get em docked and chipped maybe a little more. however i have a couple of gifted terriers so now and then its nice to be able to return the favour its a long time since i bred a litter though. and i will only breed for one for myself now.

fat man 4,740 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 This argument over the price tag on a pup will go on forever.I personally think that if someone wants to sell there pups for whatever price they require then its there business,they are not bending anybody's arm in the process of selling them.I am well aware of how things are in the present day climate with unemployment and all that as I mysely am currently on the dole but if I knew where there was a litter I really wanted a pup from I would make it my buisnees to get the cash.£250-£300 is a lot of money when you have not got it but for a pup from good honest working parents and a good line of workers before that well its worth the chance,just look at the price tag on border pups or bedlington pups. 7 Quote Link to post
Moorside 642 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 So a peddler wont think twice if he has to pay 200 quid for a pup and maybe 30-40 in fuel to get it. What school of finance did you study at corky at best he might get 20 quid out of the deal hardly a peddlers dream deal is it Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Depends on the price & the location doesn't it then. Think ur generalising with you figures, again just cos someone puts £50 tag on it rather than free wont put someone off. What about selling bitches for more money than dogs. Why would anyone pay more for a bitch or is the seller aiming the pups at future peddlars? Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,610 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think people that are going to pay high prices for dogs are going to want to make their money back, meaning that the pup will be bred from regardless of how good (or shite) it turns out to be, just to recoup some of the coin. Free to trusted mates is the best way IMO. Quote Link to post
