jigsaw 11,891 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I was given a pup a few weeks back,well bred from 2 very gamey proven parents,proper hard dogs they are.Well all my life I believe never to sell dogs or if I do to cover yer costs if it comes to that.I had this 5/8 greyhound 3/8 wheaten pup,4 months old and I dont keep this kind of dog so I thought id hold her till I got a good home for her.She was a lovely outgoing pup,full of charachter and boldness.I mentioned it to my mate and he told me his mate,a bloke I didnt know from Adam had lost his wheaten hound to sickness in the last few weeks and was looking for a replacement,so I told him to get him to contact me and we'd have a chat.So he duly did ring and he came across as a very nice genuine guy,He offered me 100 euro for the pup but I gave him the pup for free as I got it for nought,and away it went to its new home,Now im on the search over the summer for a 1st x saluki pup and Ive just realised I'll have to pay through the teeth probably to get one lol.Sometimes I wonder am I being naive sticking to these rules ive set myself.I have to admit Id feel uneasy selling pups to genuine lads,it would not sit well with me at all,never did,but if i had charged for the pup it could have gone some way to paying for mine.As the topic heading says I wonder sometimes,lol nice made pup dont ye think? 12 Quote Link to post
