Matt 160 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's someone who doesn't see characters, just pound signs. Most of us see dogs as companions who enrich our lives and provide us with sport. Some see them as 'accessories' to be bought and sold on a whim, and used to generate cash to buy the latest fashions. My opinions are well known. This site would be much better if the sale of all animals was banned. If you want to buy a dog, or any other animal, put yer hand in yer pocket and buy an exchange and mart or whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't agree but your entitled to your opinion..I think its great to buy and sell and breed quality dogs.however I can understand ware you are coming from..ther are some people who keep ther dogs in apaling conditions don't even work them and then go and just breed for cash..that's wat I call rong..as for a pashenate dog worker and breeder I thing its the best buzz of all breeding qualaty and seeing how they turn out.making frendsand dealing with other dog men meeting up and seeing your breed run is somthing else Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jt750 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Iv had lurchers pritty much since the dawn of my time and never in the whole of my life have i hear of this ridiculous phrase "DOG PEDDLING" Il asume by most peoples posts & topics that this means to breed or buy and sell dogs ? But youl all have to excuse me if i sound a bit dim but what the hell as it got to do with anybody who breeds dog's for what ever reason or who buys and sells dogs for what ever reason ? Someone is going to have to try very hard to get me to understand the phrase dog peddling because at the moment it just seems to me like another excuse to have a go at any tom dick and harry for breeding a litter of pup or even a little bit of jealousy cramed in there aswell especialy from the younger generation that tend to buy a lurcher then all of a sudden become a dog expert over a month or so. And before we go any further let me just mension a few dog dealer peddler that have been round for an age and made thousand upon thuosands of pounds buying & selling dog, like ken gould, garry middlton the terrierman, dave hancocks, minshaws and thats just four breeders and dealers or dog "peddlers"!!! And by the way how many of you complain to theses guys about the amount of pups they have bred over the decades ???? NONE!! Il tell you why because if these dealers and peddlers hadnt been around breeding and selling "peddling"! dogs none of you winging lot would have any namby pamby looking lurchers or terriers to go running round terrier & lurcher show rinks on your tippy toes would you ??? Stick your replys here and when the posts stop comming il give my opinoin on one or to of them if its a good enough point. Before i leave this topic for you lot to squabble over can i just mension the 100 of thousand of ferrets that get bred that go to everybody and anybody round the country but for some reason dont get a mension in the peddling posts and topics, am i missing something ??? If you mean "THL" dog peddlar its someone who has no input into this site but to buy and sell dogs ,,,be them puppies/older dogs or even ex racing grey bitches coming into season. I mean its a hunting forum not a dog buying/selling site. You say you've never heard of dog peddlars ..well every area has its dog dealers (i would imagine) some better than others but at the end of the day its all about money..these people buy and sell dogs like people trade on ebay..thats sad ...go to your local dog pounds and see how many lurchers you find ..they are not all old dogs lots are young barely fully grown. Unscrupulous breeders are a different matter and they are tarred on here with the same brush ..they get hold of a good old retired bitch who was good in her day and just breed off her non stop and these people are just as bad if not worse than the dog dealers...if you really don't mind people buying selling dogs who's aim is only money does that mean you have the same mind set as these people ?

Guest lurchers&terriers Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 if anyone take a quick browse through the for sale section you will see for your own eyes. you will see the same names popping up, click on there profile and check out the topics they started. iv pointed it out a few times and i get pounced on by them and there mates. another thing that is obvious is that they have a few accounts and use them to bump there threads up.

Wxm 1,638 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 is it wrong to know dogs for sale and put an extra bit on for yourself or are you classed as a peddler then. as i've seen in many forsale posts "for a mate" are we all not a bit to quick to judge rather then thinkin maybe be it is for there mate. (oh feel free to check mine as much as you want i have advertised 1 litter and that is belive me or no for a mate) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
earth&hounds 94 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 well iv read all this and now for it,,, none of you have a clue a dog peddler is a man / woman who exercise there dogs by means of getting them fit aint it on the bike some dogs do not suit some people and till you have tryed em you dont no,,, so would you keep somthing thats not what you wont ,,you have to sell them on or find a good home Quote Link to post Share on other sites
outbacklamper 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 If I see something I want, I'll buy it.If I want something I think I need, I'll produce it. If I make a litter, I'll cull it to what I can use or my friends can use. If someone I don't know wants one of my litter, I'll find out if I want them to have one or not and they will pay me for it because I have seen too many "Free" dogs wasted. If I don't want them to have one, they can't buy it at ANY price, and that is true. If they want my dog any other way, I have a twelve gauge over each door. Some of the best dogs that I have owned were gifts to me, some of the best dogs my friends have owned were gifts to them, but money has changed hands on other good dogs both ways as well. If I have a good dog I'll love him, If not I will cull him and that does not mean sold on to some poor sucker, if the dog is not good enough for me he is probably not good enough for someone else. The dollar sticker on a dog does not always equal their quality or true value. I live my life like I want to and apologize to no one, period. here here well said Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 some dogs do not suit some people and till you have tryed em you dont no,,, so would you keep somthing thats not what you wont ,,you have to sell them on or find a good home good point. or if you dont want to be classed as a peddler you have to keep it or cull it and im sure most would sell it on. and the fact that someone is making a profit on it dosn't come in to it how can you be rippin some one if they're happy to pay it. if they're happy with giving you x amount of money for a dog is that not classed as a deal.

the pikey poacher 1,157 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 well said migmog no one would know any other dog men if they daint buy and sell dogs ive made some good friends buying pups and running them on then going back out with the chap and showing him how its turned out its a great feeling showing him what you have done with the dog on the other hand if there a bag of shite i'll offer it him back at an extra cost of course to recoupe some of the money i've put into it wormers food time exectra if he dont want it back then yes im going to sell it to another person just cause the dog dont suit me it might be alright for someone else different people have different standards so is that wrong well i dont think so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 i wonder how many people have bought a dog and later find out its not what its ment to be and sold it o when i've ever had a new dog even from when i started with dogs when i was 13 / 14 then it was more a phase i wormed them flead the ect. no one would buy a dog for 50 and treat it needless it need doing or not better safe then sorry find out its not what you wanted then sell it for 50 or even a loss. they'd want to get some money back on it.

Malt 379 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Check out the thread about the EBT that a certain member took on with the understanding it was going to a home for life. Turned up on epupz a week later with a £200 mark up... That's what I'd call a pedlar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poacher3161 1,766 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you breed for money you are a peddlar if you breed with the intention of keeping one back or pups for close freinds thats different.atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
