Guest busterdog Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Some have gone to digging homes some have gone to ratting homes some go to show homes and some go to pet homes ..one went as sniffer dog once and one even went to agility. but nobody said they were ripped off..£300 is an averge price ...if not cheaper than many plummers. As for your twenty quid terriers nope not for me mating working to worker means nowt ...pedigrees mean better predictablity for the breeders of genuine working terrier men. think i will let the other boys reply to this.cant see you being a very well liked man after that statement fella. Agree to a degree, the terrier you're breeding from SHOULD be a worker first and formost, secondly it SHOULD have a pedigree of unbroken workers behind it on both sides. Anything less and you're on a slippery slope to a yard full of shit. And theres still the old chestnut of nothing in life is guaranteed, you pays you're money and takes you're chance. Don't forget the pedigree of you're dog don't mean nothing unless the dog works to the standard you are expecting. With out the work the paper means nowt. Quote Link to post

Toka 10 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 yup Liam... comes back to how they are brought up and what you put into them too, you can buy the best worker from the best kennels etc but it comes to nowt if you dont put the effort in to make sure it does hwat you want where you want it to! Argee with both Buster and EPTR...workers to workers but you do need a pedigree to keep it all together! ATB Quote Link to post
Tassa 64 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) EPTR- If you were selling them as digging dogs you would be giving more refunds than Michael O'Leary and Ryanair after the volcano ash. Any mongrel of a terrier around a farmyard will control rats, you don't need a 5 generation pedigree. Edited May 6, 2010 by Tassa Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Been watching this thred a bit. I suppose £200 is a fair price for a dog, lets face it, every dog should hold a value and things of value are 'usually' better looked after. But never a working terrier!!! Something so 'fragile' as 'genuine' working lines (and I am talking earth dogs here!), shouldn't ever hold a price! If the parents of puppies are 'that good' and their owners 'that keen', then there should be no 'surplus' to sell on, they would be coverted, begged for and held tight, for future generations.

EPTR 4 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Some lads in the eighties bid over £1000 for plummers because they were good working lines ...some are still good working earth dogs ..but due to the amount of plummers being bred they are cheaper. I've given dogs away many many times, and asked for returns in the future but the owners never oblidge..so now everyone but the closet of friends pay..and if they want another (which is the norm) and the owners become reliable and trustworthy then they usualy do very well from me. Infact one bitch and a dog are going for free to ireland as a promise i made months ago.. Check out countrymans for the prices of some mongrol lurchers..nuf said! Quote Link to post
Guest dee mac Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Just today sold a plummer terrier bitch pup, with 5 generation pedigree (but has 32 plus gens) and microchiped and wormed money back garuntee for £300 my new 2010 price. Dogs £275. Keeping her sister. i would give a money back garuntee on my three legged goat if it was for killing rats 300 quid for a hyped up terrier that is actually a very bad copy of the proper jack russell you s guys make me laugh 5 genration pegigree is not worth the paper its wrote on 17 quid will buy you a rat trap and it will be still alive think i ll stick with it maybe even sell a few rats to you guys a rat killing three legged goat wow. .like to see that ..does it use it feet or horns ..think youve been hanging around the goats to long ..have you a long goaty beard ..think you must be linebred to your goats ..why would i want to catch live rats ?..i preume you do ..so your goat can stomp em .. ps in 22 years ive proably given more away than youve owned i doubt it some how, i like the way you call the people who have your dogs customers i call them friends .good dogs dont mean good prices good dogs means breeding them properly giving them too decent lads that think like yourself so down the line these dogs can be tested and the best of them bred and given back to same said lads to keep them going which in turn means that there s always a well bred dog or dogs standing in your kennells thats have been bred as best as you can out of dogs that were good at ther job .now tell me mr business man what can your rat dogs do that a any other terrier cant do.your spouting about this and that you charge big prices and talk a load of rubbish about pedigrees just too make yourself feel important ,the best dog men i ever knew kept themselves to themselve s and let there dogs do the talking as for the 3 legged rat killing goat i own i ll give you the service but i want too see your bitch working Quote Link to post

Guest AngelicAcid Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Aye that may be true, but what about out of the circle? Not wanting to argue, when i was younger money never changed hands ever. Now that i dont have a lot to do with my family, i have to look for that right pup and have had to pay, but also been given been through decent people. Quote Link to post
