hollands hope 1,024 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Money comes and money goes. Couldn't put a price on an exceptional worker. FTB Couldn,t agree more Just to add your always buying shit from someone else, good dogs are not for sale. Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Couldn't and wouldn't do it for any amount. After years of hard work getting a dog to the level you want it then sell it is alien to me. My dogs do all i ask of them and in return i shall be completeley loyal to them. Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 takes time and effort to find, bond with and train that dog, finding the right one especially in lurchers isnt an easy task, id sell a dog, even a good one if it wasnt right for me and/or i didnt have the work for it. but it would be sold at or near cost to the right man (or woman), aint got no interest in dealing with those kind of people with no value on anything, more money than sense and who just want to buy the finished product because its easier.

10watt bulb 4 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 some people are in it for the money some peope for the love of it and im the latter Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I would never sell one of my dogs, IF I had some major problem that meant I had to rehome my dogs they would go for free to friends. A permanent working home where a dog would get grafted, fed and a warm kennel is far more important to me, money is the ruination of working dogs......... Quote Link to post
talljim 0 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 It's the same in all lines of work, I play irish music and you get people who think that buying the most expensive instrument will make them a good player when what it boils down to is putting the hours in. I'll admit I'm new to the lurcher game, I've long been a fan, and been outr a few times, so when i got my own house, I got a couple of pups from working stock. I don't want shortcuts, i want something I can be proud of, to think 'I did that!'. I come on this site because if i have any problems or worries I know I'll get good advice (sometimes!). That's something money can't buy. Jim Quote Link to post
cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 money cant buy you happiness, but the pleasure you get from watching a good dog do its job well is priceless. When I come home with a good bag and my dogs done me proud I feel on cloud nine. Every dog is a unique individual so if you sold it you may never see another dog like that again. And if you had a dog you reared from a pup which was very closely bonded with you, theres no money in the world could make it work the same way for anyone else Well said Nora! I have a dog here that I would never part with. Even if someone offered me €1,000,000 I wouldn't take it. I'd fight to the death to keep him, and that's a fact. Is it because hes a good worker? To me he is and does everything I want, but it is more to do with after all these years, he is like my brother. Quote Link to post

You may have been offered a sum of money for your dog, and you were testing the water to see what other lurcher men would do. Now you have seen the outcome of it, and that alltho we can be twats for most of the times on here, we do have morals and standards.... You realized that you were being an arsehole by all the real lurchermen on here, who love and cherish a proper worker... Or maybe you just wanted to become a dog peddlaR... 1 Quote Link to post
