northern terrierwork 74 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 i would like to no everone's views on the above mentioned and ask the question has anybody ever got out decent off people who go out of there way to make money of litters, personaly ive wasted years of my life going off the words of so called digging men and 18 to 24 months down the line you finaly tell yourself youv been done again, it wasnt untill i started getting in with genuine lads who were giving out pups for free on the condition they were started correctly and put through there paces as needed that i started to get good dogs myself.. The reason of this post is really to alert lads into not doing as i did and wasting years on shite be carefull what you try personly i would'nt take a punt on a pup without seeing parents do there job and neither should you. people will try to make out there helping you but really they just want your money. all written is based on personal experiance so does not mean it will work this way for everyone.. thanks for reading.. 8 Quote Link to post
Marvin 193 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I know i'm only new to this but i often think to myself how many on here rant away about pedlars and the like then sell pups for top dollar, when the time arises, i know there are genuine lads on here and i dare say a good majority too, bet there has got to be a fair percentile who shout the odd's and are so righteous behind the keyboard or touch screen smart phone, when all the while they have a litter of worker bred pups for sale 200 quid, bred from dogs who's skin wouldn't graft. Pound notes will win the majority of the time dude totally understand where your coming from 2 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'm lucky as always had friends in the game so never bought a pup in and always seen the parents work , I'm gifting the spare pups out my litter when she comes in heat to sound lads off here, but they know I'll show them the dogs working if they want 3 Quote Link to post
crazyfrog 23 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 when we where full on few years back ,we keeped pups amongst ourselves and never sold or gave away to strangers ,that way you no where your blood is and what work has been done with it.once the market opened rightm up and daft money starting being spent ,a lot of good blood lines just went. there still is some decent dog lads out there that do the same as we did .

vduben 55 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 not everyone has the time to see both parents work unless its a mate or someone close but its always reasuring when you know they've kept a few back them selves and invite you for a dig when the pups mature enough, also i bought a pup that was the last in the litter (avatar pic), he looked right and now does the job well at the age of 2 and comming onto his tenth dig.. so not all are bad Quote Link to post
