First two kc dogs I bought with my own money, a whippet, and a gsd, both £50 lol. Was nearly 40 years ago mind lol. But they were very healthy. Some of these dogs, bulldogs, sharpeis etc, will cost you near enough the asking price of them back and fore the vets. Not for me I'm afraid Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not for me I'm afraid Couldn't justify spending that crazy amount of money to be fair, with the exception of the gsd, the reason been is, it's hard to find fit healthy working gsds without the H.D. and slanted backs problems. Also it would have a purpose, job, as well as a companion and family pet, not a yard dog. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bred from mainly german/eastern european bloodlines. Big, athletic bitch, easy to train, confident, not nervy, excellent guard, totally reliable. Probably the best dog I've ever owned. £50 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The poor thing broke it's leg in an accident but is flying and work mad. I would have rested it up more but I don't think the leg will ever be right again, it won't stop it from working though that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,963 Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 The prices at the moment are ridiculous but if you had a litter of pups at the mo and everyone else was selling for 2-3 grand would you sell for 500 quid? Some twat would buy them to sell on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Few months ago 650 would've been the going rate mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s sound mate, pals and like minds shouldn’t be charging each other for dogs but as you say a token of appreciation is the right thing to do. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
