airbourne 128 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would only buy a pup you can only blame your self if things go wrong. Quote Link to post
matmorgan 49 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 my guess is that lamping is a hobby for the vast majority on this site.i mean how many of you rely on it for an income.if you needed a dog to provide this income by culling vermin then you need a good un.600 squid would not be out of the question.if youve spent a good while [years]building up permission for a pass time you all claim to love so much and you need to keep vermin down to keep this hard earned and very very hard to come by permission.surely this is a fair enough price if the dog does the biz.the initial buying price of a dog never really bothers me if i want it ill have it.its the price of careing for it and vets bills for the next??????yearsthat gets me worried.

I'd personally pay upto 250 for a pup, of good dogs ones that I'd seen work a few times,as for an adult dog if I really wanted it,and it was my type of dog then I'd go further so long as it passed every test I wanted,not the previous owners.

Terra Firma 136 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I agree that there is nothing more satisfieing than bringing a pup on but needs must and all that, i have a bullx that i was offered £1000 for and turned it down, that same dog now resides in my yard living out his retirement, when i found myself without a dog to run on due to unforseen circumstances i paid £500 for a bitch from a mate and he done me a favour in my opinion, then i have 5/6 seasons of top quality dog work/lamping.....Bargin, in these circumstances.

Average price for an average dog,if you look again ye will see people are prepared to pay a lot more, they be the people who know the true value of a proper good honest lamper, a dog someone has put a lot of time and effort into,if ye had to put value to it they are worth a lot more it's 2011 now ,things are dearer now than ten or twenty years ago two or three hundred don't go far,pups are that to buy now Quote Link to post
