Is £45 a year expensive? 86p a week?
This hobby costs peanuts. Even with dog insurance, wormers, bedding, diesel, top quality dog grub, clothing and wellies it costs pennies compared to most hobbies. I know fishermen that pay hundreds of pounds a year just for memberships. That's without upgrading their rods, reels, bivvys, alarms etc. Golfers, motorbike lads, martial arts lads, shooters, even lads who sit at home on computer games. It all costs more than our hobby. Not just a dig at you but why are dog lads so tight? Nobody wants to spend their cash. People moan about dogs being expensive
