Wxm 1,638 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 As a few have seen i've put up 1 or 2 topics about getting a dog beddie or whippet or mybe a mix between the 2, so from time to time i have the odd look around to keep tracks on whats about and what sort of money i'll need. i have noticed the beddie's are holding there price but whippets seem to have dropped quite a bit. from around £250 - £300 down to £125 - £175 <<< and thats for kc papered 1's too :hmm: anyone noticed?? maybe in different breeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said on a previous post though, I still live in a world of Exchange& Mart..!! im not sure what it is as the likes of russels going back 5 - 10 years you could get for 40 - a pup now they are 150 - 225, then other breeds have dropped. its madness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 recession is hitting everything id say its hitting different types of breeds, people parting with some big breesds due to food bills but buying another type as a guard dog as theres loads of theft going on, small and fluffy look to be doing well due to silly little girls wanting ashie pets but anything between 15" - 24" there money seems to be rolling all over the place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
