Malt 379 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Couple I know paid £1200 for Akita, that was discounted down on the condition they don't breed from him. Why did they add that condition mate, close breeding or something? Or maybe they don't want them breeding and diluting the market for when they have their own stock available.. Think that's a bit of cheek trying to impose conditions on someone who's buying a dog off you anyway, unless it's an offer to give a refund and take the dog back if they ever want to get rid of it.. More so with that kind of money.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure mate, the parents seemingly do very well at crufts and shite like that but for their dog is a handsome looking lad he's a bit of a mongo so note sure if it's to do with genes or competition.

Sounds like they obviously don't think your mates are worthy of breeding from such noble stock.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danw 1,748 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Some time ago there was a thread about culling litters and most folks was up in arms infact I got some shit and a couple of pm's threatening me though the big men never did show so I'll say it again lol, breed for your own needs and the betterment of your line, gift to trusted mates and cull the rest anything else is pedling folks can kid themselves on but thats what it is plain and simple 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pedwar 320 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I know a few who cull fine healthy pups, always seem like selfish b*****ds to me 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 What a lot of pish, most if not all folk I know that cull shit an surplus dogs, are also the same folk that GIFT pups to folk they know can be trusted so that's that theory out the window... scared of getting found out lol more like scared a letting folk who will sell the blood get hold of it.... If your trying g to recoup costs then you don't really want the litter, mat as well buy in... If you really want the litter and the replacements then it'll be a small price to pay.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How often do you see threads on here where a pup was gifted in good faith only to find that it was sold on or passed round I'm afraid l dont trust many people with my dogs but anyway as you say each to their own. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 If folk only gift pups to trusted mates and cull the rest. . . how are decent, keen young lads, going to get into the game? There are a lot of folk on here that own cracking dogs that were bought in. . . . . As long as youre not taking the piss, whats the problem with paying a couple of hundred for something you will enjoy daily for many years. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Maybe the young lads could do what a lit of others did? Gain a Bit of trust and wait for a pup, rather than run out buy a mutt of pre loved and take it out knowing nothing or the bare minimum on the game, I'd gladly gift a youngster a pup, I have done and I've spoke up for other youngsters when my mates were breeding, I only spoke up tho as I knew the youngsters were keen and showed they could take advice and not just rush in buy a lamp a mutt an start killing shit.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its old school I know but I still expect decent keen young lads to tag along and learn the trade before they get the tools to do the job those that stay the course are worth helping the rest are and will always be messers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
