Floyd17586 454 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not necesssarily if it comes witth a trial how can you. go wrong.every bodies. Circumstances differ A trial mean's nothing Floyd with a working dog unless that trial is based out over a full season.. I don't agree.....if you go see a dog work on the quarry you want it for and it does what you want what more of a trial do you want??? For now i want a dog trained to what i want..NOT someone elses shite that wont do what i want. yea thats understandable but of you go see the dog on the trial it might do what you want;) Quote Link to post

Not all dogs that are for sale are rubbish and if I'm honest a well trained dog could teach a novice a lot more than a novice could teach a dog Quote Link to post
Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Back on topic - is it just me or does anyone else think the OP hasn't really thought this through?????? Off-topic, there are good pups out there which don't cost an arm and a leg. Mine, though not trained yet, will turn out fine for what I want - he was a rescue. Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) So what do you want out of a dog that someone else couldn't train. I have bought 2 older dog's in over the year's and the poor get's had to be rehomed..so never again..the bond is not there like you get from bringing a 6/8wk old pup on and whatever little hidden problem's that you miss when getting a older dog are usualy set in stone and irreversable.. And i believe that someone who has put a lot of time and training into a dog to get it to a good level of training and fitness would not sell that dog for all the money in the world..me included..if for some reason you feel the need to sell a adult dog..the heart was not on the job from the start so training will obviously suffer somewhere down the line through cutting corner's etc..and by the way i'm talking about 100% stock broken collie lurcher's that are used for lamping and bit ferreting and shooting work...not a point and slip saluki X fenn dog that can do 3/3..

dytkos 17,804 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bought several adult dogs in over the years, terriers and lurchers. Some good, some not so good. With experience, it's now always pups all the way unless there were exceptional circumstances. Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post
