twelsh 345 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 As working terriers are hard to come by the people who owns them 100% terriers below ground would anyone consider selling one for say £500 just noticed the amount of people lately wanting them are they willing to pay this price plus for a 100%terrier or would the owner consider this type ofmoney for his little gem Quote Link to post

marshman 7,758 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) How do you put a value on the years of blood sweet and tears of failures and loosing good dogs to ground and just when you dare think you might of got the one, for some shitehouse that's been in the game five minutes to say how much do you want ? What a lot of people still don't get it ain't about the MONEY !!! It's not how much it cost to feed keep or how much you paid as a pup it's about how much you've enjoyed your dogs how can someone put a price on that ? Although in saying that some men will sell their own mother lol Edited October 22, 2014 by marshman 18 Quote Link to post

jeemes 4,485 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ive enquired about made dogs before and asked for a trial. Ive been told if i was giving a trial the dog would be worth 600/700 instead of the 250 Im asking. my answer was always I will gladly pay that amount in your hand at the end of a successful dig no problem. Its funny but ive never been taken up on it..the phone usually goes down or an excuse comes up..but over the years ive come to realise that buying a made dog is a bit of an empty victory anyway.. I know a proper working earth dog is as hard to come by as a derby winner,and some folk are lucky first time but i wasnt and myself and son have spent lots and travelled miles,but when you do rear a pup and get a good one and you get to hear that bay for the first time in the ground all the misery and frustration of the previous years slip away.You cant buy that feeling,not for a million. 4 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Jeeemes - I'm surprised at you .I would of thought by now you would have a line going that was worthy of the title .Its clear to me you have the knowledge so what's the problem mate .To piss about with bits and pieces for years is to waste precious time imo Quote Link to post

WEDGEY 753 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 as read it, it seems to me that there is a lot of good men out there that think the world of there dogs and see them as priceless so what that tells me that all you'll buy for your £1000 is pure shit 1 Quote Link to post
