Str 793 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 £500 is a lot of cash for the latest fad dog but there’s a lot of skint folks out there,who are only just getting by each week so can you really blame them for trying to make a few extra pounds?,regards £15 for a dog!! My guess is you’re never reared a litter? I’ve reared 3 litters of pups,2 litters for me a pup,1 litter for 2 mates & she only had 2 pups at £90 each,stud fee was £60 plus heat lamp, fresh meat, KC reg,rearing good pups is not a cheap job.its a very generous thing to give some one a pup for free or £20 but you shouldn’t expect it. 1 Quote Link to post

Str 793 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I agree there’s no way I am condoning high prices for dogs but like wise folks expecting them for next to nothing are just as bad, in my book tight b*****ds are just as bad as greedy b*****ds. Quote Link to post

forest of dean redneck 11,754 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 £500 for a cross bred dog is taking the piss, max around £200 whether it's a ankle biter or a yard dog but then some pure breeds are just a licence to print money there's 2 litters of dachshunds ? In this town ones £900 a pup others £1400? And i think it's not their first litters either. Quote Link to post

Buck just as bad when not working, same as Bryn, but Buck will give better show on quarry than ever what Bryn done. but not working he just as bad, Quote Link to post
