Huan72 687 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 No amount of money would ever get me to part with my dog, I really mean that, 1 million or 100 million, a dog isn't just a product in the way a car is. You pass it on, it could be treated like s**t, then sold on again and again. Loyalty to me is a two way street and they don't come any more loyal than a dog, That sounds crazy to some I am sure, but we are all different, my principles are worth more to me than cash and I am not selling out my dog, no way. 6 Quote Link to post
Barry White 79 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 From what I have seen I would say there are 3 main reasons , a fella starting out manages to get his hands on a well bred bull or wheaten x through some acquaintance and after it first kill is actually afraid of it can't handle it.Decent dogs often gifted to like minded men to trial before breeding off and then of course the messers who are only in it for shillings. Just my opinion Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 To many people worrying about what others are spending their money on. Your primary in fact only concern should be with the dogs in your care and in your kennel. If everyone took care of their hounds there wouldnt be so many on the carousels and being shunted from pillar to post, any man selling a dog or pup can sell it for what he wants its his to sell like it or not. In my experience most legends are figments of some ones fertile imagination and internet legends are no different to dogs of yester year some can do the job and some cant as long as you havent paid out for a cant do what does it matter.

Tozer 385 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 It is good to read some of the comments on this thread, there is nothing nicer than the dog sat in front of the fire after serving you well. I don't understand buying a dog at 2yr old and expecting it to follow your commands? Quote Link to post

If you have 3 kennels your going have one dog that will do its job out of 3. honest answer yes, but firstly ive more than 3 kennels so space isnt an issue. secondly i wouldnt keep a one trick pony so realistically i can afford to wait if i know they are not fully mature at two and i think there is more that they can offer when they mature and get there mojo goin!! each to there own but if a dog isnt matured properly you truely dont know what you have.
