working terries

[Guest tawny]

right, out of interest,if you was to buy a new terrier pup,from working background,for say! fox

 

how mutch would you be prepared to pay out of top working lines for that pup ??

 

i dont expect to get a lot of replys with this one,but some insight would be good.

 

all the best.

When I have spare ones that are bred right out of tested stuff I usually charge £150 jabbed .They are tidy stuff though.Coloured pups about the same

[Guest tawny]

don i would think thats a fair price to sell a pup for these days,and with the jab ,you cant go wrong.

why i asked is the pups you see fore sale in the country mans weekly for double that price. are they worth it ???.

i think the none working lines are double that of the workers at the mo,and why should that be ?

i for one dont know.sometimes the higher price may mean a better dog to the novice,but i will continue to get my dogs,

who look like theve been shit from the devils own arse,and cost me well under £ and get a real working ped

thrown in for three .

god if we were all the same we'd all have good terriers i think, so why the massive price tags any replys would be nice

Know what you mean average price round here is £225 250 for undocked pets .KC registered pups bred from shite and white lakie blood are £350 £400 .If I put papers on mine as I can, I charge the £18 extra crazy .Started with overseas buying shit at high prices .rgds Don.

i was in conversasion a couple of year ago with a guy who used to help with the terrier work with his local hunt his problem was he`d lost his best dog working his bitch was in pup and he`d only got a young dog and a 9 yr old bitch to get him thru the hunt season . i offered the loan of an untried 2yr old dog if he came on and he wanted him he could have him for 150 notes - fair enough offer fellas?? he refused my offer saying he wanted something ready to go . he was away to look at a 3 n half yr old dog at work with the option to buy problem was in his words the greedy fecker whr rippin him off wanting 400 notes for him - never saw him with any new dog he got by with what he`d got and the hunt terriermans dogs . now to me 400 notes for a 3 n half year old dog doing the buiss aint a lot of money whats your view ?? (how much do you pay for a working gun dog ) iv`e heard of lurchers fetching stupid money aswell . and how much do you put into a pup till you get a return ? if you get a proven working line it dont always come up trumps anyway this guys bitch had 9 pups all for sale at 250 notes mine go for 150 i only breed the odd litter - i have been offered stupid money for pups that have been winning puppy championships -?? show stuff can fetch crazy money on one hand a guy wont take a chance on a £150 dog on the other some fella offers me a grand for a pup coz he`d seen it win a puppy championship and a res . terrier games gone daft

There is someone on epupz selling 'linebred chocolate patts' for 500 notes.......

Think they are the ones advertised on this forum .I know he sold one pup getting towards that figure Greedy feckers .Keep then 12 month and they dont go its a rivet job ..

[Guest pip]

I personnally would nt sell a working terrierthey are too hard to come by aand i have tried to buy them in the past and its nearly impossible to buy genuine dogs.

Price of a working terrier ????????Priceless to me anyhow.As iv e said before when you start to equate dogs and money your on the slippery slope.

ps.just to add Don im not talking about pups.

[Guest tawny]

i had a litter of good pups a few years back, most went to friends and was left with one.

anyway he was up for sale for £40.

a young boy wanted him and yet he done a show the same day and turned my pup down ?

like he said so and so's are better dogs i dont need yours ????.

so he paid his £200 only to find out the pup was the biggest lod of shit anyone cold have.

and the pup i could have gave him came a better dog than ive had for a while.

makes you think dont it

[donnyc 1,203]

I think you can get decent working dogs at a reasonable price..I have some out on loan they come back after one or two seasons and depending on my situation at the time sometimes I move them on .Mostly under some little conditions ..They have probably only seen mostly fox work but they usually make decent tools. Not much dearer than pup money

[donnyc 1,203]

Lot of terriermen keep friends to a minimum.Too many have been shat on .Only a couple round here I would trust to have a pup or adult .Thats why a lot of mine are on loan to hunt kennels keep my eye on them .

[Guest tawny]

you cant put a price on good working breed pups i mean well worked parents not them ratig w*nkers you know ! but you might be dealing with money makers your best off dealing with a fella thats breeding for himself and ffrends ya know as in fellas not advertising never go for working dogs advertised because if there worth buying then the person breeding them should have enoung hunting friends willing to buy them !

 

editied to say half langres writing this but makes sense!

you cant put a price on a good working terrier mate that i can go with.

but working pups ????? they aint working.

 

iff your honest youd be lucky to get one out of five,and when i say that i dont mean the one that might work,i mean

the one as good or better than the one you bred six years ago.

the one off pups that we all hope to have,parents were good so were the grand parents,and yet within al lines we've all had the one offs

and nothing can or could compare to them.

breed the best to the best, and hope ? but only the boarn workers ill make the grade.

 

£300 or £40 makes no difference you will never buy the pup that was born to work, no way ??

[Guest tawny]

sound good mate dont it,easy isent it ? well it aint ?? i had what i thought was a real good line.

and looking backn on it it was, they were the dogs you could dig to before the ban in front of anyone,anywhere in the country . and to be honest they never let me down,and anyone who dug fox with me {before the ban} will say the same.

but i made a mistake,,as we all do along the line,and picked a bad out cross and from that day on ive been in shit as far a the terriers go. they lost thier spark,and that was it.

i gave the last bolting bitch to a member on here a few weeks back, and put a few more down over the last year.

but one thing im not ashamed to say is i f****d up,my own fault yes ' but its done now.

im as honest as i cn be with the terriers,ive told my friends, and ive told the world on here now

and yet some would breed out of the line i got rid of for the sake of money,and we ask ourselfes what went wrong ???????

what can you sayyyy

[harddigging 42]

the rare litter of pups that i have bred the pups have gone for a sack of puupy food to feed the ones i keep back the terrier game isnt about money its about the working terrier theres a lot more breeds out there to breed that are more expensive if your in it for the money but me breed a litter from the best to the best and dont be hasty in your choice then you have a good chance of the pups turning out but buying a pup of 12 weeks or younger out of the paper that you dont know nothing about that £200 soon turns into £500 by the time it 18 months plus all the time and effet you put into it and youve got no choice but to pts cause it didnt turn out its heart breacking back to square one again its not easy to get a well bred pup
