HGN 150 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 do you think better plummers would have been had for less? Quote Link to post
Toka 10 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 if the fella got them as pups at £500 each then i suppose he is only trying to recoup some money....trouble is £500 a pup was too much in the first place, secondly as they are a rehome people have to trust that they are worth whatever is asked unless you know them personally it is hard to verify how good they are. would be interesting to know where they came from... atb Quote Link to post
Guest dee mac Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 no point having a go at people who own plummers its getting boring they are happy with what they have and use them for a number of things but in the main earth work aint there thing we all know this so let it go .but the main gripe i have with the plummer owners in the main is money.its all about pedigrees this and so much money for this pup or service of that dog we will start our club up its the best no ours is the best etc etc .in the perfect world and this goes for all terriers or all breeds of dogs the people who own or have a fancy in a certain breed should stick together and breed between each other to attain or maintain the qualities of said dog try and improve the breed as a whole and to keep it tight among the genuine dog people and too keep the money men and dog dealers out of the picture but by looks of things this aint going too happen its actually quite sad that the once good old honest terrier of all creeds is going down the road as just another way too make a quick buck . 3 Quote Link to post

OldNog 432 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) £500 a pup,if they were.I know where they come from and they are no workers I HAVE TWO BITCHES FROM THERE AND THEY WORK SO LETS NOT START SLAGGING THE BREED OFF AGAIN JUST BECAUSE OF ISSUES WITH THE BREEDER.HOW ABOUT SOME CONSTRUCTIVE DEBATE ABOUT WHAT A FAIR PRICE FOR A PUP WITH WORKING POTENTIAL IS AND HOW IT VARIES ACROSS THE BREEDS. What do you class as work though? Rats and rabbits?? Fair price for a pup with working potential??......Free, surely? However i know people like to make a bit of beer money so i wouldnt sell a pup for more than £100 which still seems alot and it should be regarudless to type How can the plummer fans consider them a credible working terrier breed when they have all these daft f*****g pedigree names and obscene prices for a terrier that very very rarely works to ground?!

Tomm Parr 30 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I got my plummer pup for 100 quid. He is 7m, has a white arse and is black between the withers so don't think any of the clubs'd want us! I don't really understand the fuss about plummer politics, means nothing to me and doesn't affect me or the dog. I don't really understand the fancy names either. Mine is just called Alfred. Mind you (and i am a novice here, so be nice), when people moan about some plummer owners having fancy pedigree names for their dogs, it does remind me about reading about 'this line' and 'that strain' and 'bred by so and so', that so many lurchers/bullxs owners talk about on the threads day in day out. Isn't that sort of the same thing as a pedigree name? Just an observation. By the way, I'm not trying to have a dig at owners of lurchers/bullxs, so please don't go nuts.
