SMART DOG 340 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just a quick question is there alot of people who just breed working dogs for a quick dollar just to sting the inexpierienced of the working dog world.........Lets face it its not as if there is a shortage of lurchers/terriers as alot of the kennels where i live there is more failed/unwanted working dogs than enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPTfellterrier 65 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 couldnt agree more i would love to breed my bitch but only if she makes the grade and only to replace her....otherwise i would buy a pup, but not one that is £200, no way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CUPCAKE118 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just near flattened a JRT the other week was going to keep it myself but my guilt got the better of me took it the local vet no tag no ID waiting to see if its collected! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 otherwise i would buy a pup, but not one that is £200, no way Why?? If I wanted a well bred pup £200 is nothing, you could easily pay £100 and feed the dog for years costing hundreds upon hundreds for it to turn out a plum. Saying that many lads don't charge at all................... As for dogs, ANYONE who breeds PURELY for profit is a parasite and I don't include people who breed for their own use........................ Edited to add that perhaps the reason so many dogs are currently being bred or offered at stud is because people are struggling in the current financial and economic situation, just food for thought and perhaps something to add to the debate?????????????????

riohog 5,684 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 never easy where money is concerend top quality will always demand a premium so breed the best cull the rest never going to halpen is it could be alot of wastedge which is money to some!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 If I ever breed a litter one thing for sure...no one on here even hears about them. They are never for sale, they are given away to mates. In turn, i get pups given back and/or stud for free as a standard. Its all about putting the value of dogs far, far higher than the shallowness of money. Too many litters being bred for money. I don't care what anyone says, alot of this "bred for own use" is bollocks. They are seeing the £200 a pup. And it is a shame. What many do not think about is...If working dogs had little value then dog thefts would be reduced dramatically. It's the stupid £300+ prices that fuels dog theft. The scum that pinch the dogs are doing it to breed from them and sell the pups in many cases. Money, money, money..... But hey, that's JMO......J Darcy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
border lad 1,047 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 yes it is a shame really, all those pups going to waste, look at that bull x with its bad feet an all going back into its own 2 year old daughter, what is the sense of that mating except to pull money from an inexperienced, kid, all the breading that is under way now as we talk, at least 75% will be cast aside, put the best to the best, but even then there is wastage, I have a pup now only nr,6 months be interesting to find out how many of that litter make the grade, when they are 18 months old.

shaun v 3 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 in a perfect world we all could go to a dog shelter and get a rescue dog, but we aint, i breed for myself and to better the stock i have, sometimes it works and sometimes it dosent, when it dosent and the dogs are not suitable for others i will put them to sleep end of, if more people went that way the rescue kennels wouldnt be over crowded with cast offs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 46,217 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Dogs and money........what a fecking crock of shite! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wink hound 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 yay my favorite subject. anyone who breeds working dogs for profit is a idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wanna be farmer 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 To be honest, if all dogs were £30 each, there would hardly be any dog theft. But the down side is that you will get alot of complete cocks buying them, therefore the dogs may be ill-treated ect.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Complete cocks are buying these dogs anyway and then complete cocks are breeding more litters.......the more money thats in it, the more they will breed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

artic 595 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Lol, it goes to show, how many on here breed for ££££. They then struggle to sell them, lower the price, swop a pup for this and that!!! I have bred 2 litters over 10yrs never advertised, all passed on, no money involved and working. Jesus, how stupid people are does not amaze me on here. Load of Rick a too...........
