Aussie Whip 3,827 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Polar opposite here $1000 for a decent cattle pup, 2500 plus for a beagle. Beagles have always fetched top dollar here, cattle dogs usually gifted. 1 Quote Link to post
OldPhil 5,364 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Lovely wee tykes,..(amazing price tag) I would have to see the temperament of both parents, before even considering owning such a unique breed... There are some nice ACD x Greyhound lurcher about,...it is so tempting to just go one last round.... Edited June 28, 2021 by OldPhil 9 Quote Link to post

But then again, collies are going the same way. Work dogs peddled as fashion accessories and reduced to messed up pets. Sad old world. 4 Quote Link to post

Anyway, she went to a fecking breeding home for 20 odd grand, seems mad but they were gonna end up pumping a litter out of her at £2500-3000 a pup and pay for her and then keep on pumping pups out. I don’t mind paying good money -£5000-£10,000 for something real special, I been offered that kind of money for some of my dogs (they old now and worth £8.50 I expect lol) and it’s what a real good dog is worth. But not cos its a nice colour! 2 Quote Link to post

However there are some good lads out there, since all of this shit had started, I’ve had a couple of pups near enough gifted to me, bred a litter of terriers (which some members on here have), which I solD for pre COVID prices (cost of jabs, docking etc ) and am off to pick up a pup on Sunday for nowt, and just about to give a lad a beagle x pup when it’s weaned. Also just lined a Lurcher bitch who’s pups will be gifted. Just got to keep away from the peddlers. 3 Quote Link to post

Don’t know I’m 50/50 mate to be honest decent homes are not guaranteed any way an with the now volume of pups bred so some times I’d say better off put to sleep rather than them being hard done by or bred from in pet homes or passed from home to home . some dogs are bred just for killing an dont really make ideal pets as there bred for work nothing else there almost bred short fused tapped in the head you wouldn’t want to have the burden of that sat on your shoulders if someone’s child gets it.suppose it all depends on the person what they feel the best course of action for there pups I fully understand why people put to sleep id not hold nothing against that person for doing so 3 Quote Link to post
