Wxm 1,638 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 i will be 110% honest if i had a litter and mates wanted one they'd get 1 alot cheaper as i've never had nout gifted and to be honest some of the lads i bothered with into hunting change their dogs more than they change their pants, so why would i give something to someone to sell in a few weeks / months. now if i had a litter of borders / beddy's / whippets and say the average price is 450 - 550 then id be selling them at that price for the reason is why should my litter be worth any less than anyone elses ???

artful212 394 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) if i needed a new working dog it wouldnt bother how much it cost as the satisfaction of taken a dog out thats good at his job is second to none however if i bred a litter of lurcher pups they would be for myself not to try earn money of some names or lines like some do friends that have gifted me a pup would be sorted first imo Edited January 14, 2013 by artful212 1 Quote Link to post
tsteve9999 456 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 For me this is a working mans sport so I'd hope to pay a working mans price, in other words enough to cover the breeders costs and maybe a touch more for the time and trouble he has taken with the litter If lurchers were the price of a lot of the pedigrees they'd become status symbols like the labradoodles etc. I just hope they stay off the radar of that type of person.

alan626 305 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 i bred 2 bitches to get a pup from each but just my luck the lurcher had 9 and the terrier had 7 ,, they coast me a fortune to feed and jab and hours and hours of looking after so at 12 weeks all the remaining were gifted to lads ,, now heres the problem only 2 of the lad s still have there pup i dont know were the rest of them are , maybe if i charged every body 150 euro a pup they would still have them a lot of lads that get something for notting dont respect wat they were giving ,, NEVER AGAIN 4 Quote Link to post
craigluckyjihad 244 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 if there parents are good enough to breed from then there will be plenty of people willing to pay askin price for the pups 3 Quote Link to post

Runningdogs3 59 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Personally I'm not right keen on the idea of giving pups away. People tend to appreciate more something they have paid for and any dog has a right to be looked after properly regardless of it's breeding. If people don't want to pay or can't afford to pay makes you wonder what they will do about feeding, worming, vaccinations and possible vet bills! 5 Quote Link to post
CALIGULA 8 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I think £300 to £600 for a well bred working pup with history behind it is not a bad price at all when labradoodles are fetching £700 ! I can only understand culling in a show world not a working one there is no way at all of knowing what you might have ' heart tenacity speed are not something you see at birth ! A good dog is we're you find it ! Quote Link to post
