Wales1234 5,546 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I know it’s been done to death but the price on pups these days is scandalous! Iv got two terriers here at the moment both gifted I gave the one lad money for a drink the other wouldn’t take anything off me ! Proper dog men same if I ever bred a litter they would be free see so many for sale posts on Facebook all saying off great workers but seem to have the full litter for sale crazy ! 1 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 JMHO but terriermen seem to be the only doggy folk who debate the selling of pups, and that might say a lot for us. The lurcher brigade churn them out and with a bit of luck their pup wont see 5 homes by the time it's 2 years old. The K.C. can double that. They have nothing to be proud off. But terriermen do often seem to take pride in placing their pups in good hands where they might get good feed back on their progress thus giving the breeder more info on how his breeding is going. Obviously we have our puppy peddlers but after a year or two of them churning out their curs they don't be long becoming a laughing stock. Although the novices to our sport don't see it and do leave a few quid with the chancers. The truth is that well bred litters bred by lads who are genuine get snapped up by the breeders mates and what sort of f****r charges a mate for a pup ??????????? But every now and then good pups do actually come on the market . As for price ????? Well IMO if the Border of today is making £550 a pup and Plummers are making £300 a pup then a good well bred black one or well bred Russell should have a price tag of £2000. And I mean that. 7 Quote Link to post

Things are not always so Hunky Dory, i know of lads with good Terriers yet don't really have a pot to piss in. If the quality is there I'm not going to begrudge them making a few quid off some dogs he's bred and cared for himself. Edited June 25, 2018 by Kerny92 5 Quote Link to post
Kerny92 1,246 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 At the end of the day if you can't spot a peddler of shite dogs then maybe you shouldn't even be thinking of getting in the game IMO. 2 Quote Link to post
task 74 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 If you have to buy a pup chances are it won't be any good all the genuine boys i know give them free with conditions if it dont work do the right thing and if you get rid it comes back 1 Quote Link to post

Neil that's a sweeping statement to make that lurcher lads churn out pups and give them to any fukcer but terrier men don't ... there pricks and chancers all through the dog game from the KC brigade to working dogs to racing greyhounds ... it's nothing to do with breed ....... 12 Quote Link to post

Like i said some men have little else but dogs, who is anybody to say they are shite just because he has sold his pups? 2 Quote Link to post

Councilestatekid 1,932 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 We always bought a terrier pup or sold them for £100 always to the lads we knew or bought off the lads we knew never advertised or bred for sake of it just for our own needs.the charge was more a token gesture to help with the costs and always feel better for paying abit of sumat but the prices on some dogs are ridiculous if you cross any dog give it a feck in stupid name like a pugadoo £1500 1 Quote Link to post

Ace Boone coon 648 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Wow so if you get a dog for free its a worker and if you pay for a dog it's crap? That's about the dumbest thing ive ever heard! And over the last couple years being on here ive seen some of you so called hard dog men selling one! If i don't know you why should i give you a free dog when i wouldn't even give you the sweat off my balls for free. So im supposed to raise that pup give it shots, dock the tail and maybe dews and feed it and socialize it then give it to someone for nothing. Sorry if your not a friend or faimly memeber your not taking my pup for free. And if i know my dog's are coming off of good honest workers ill pay for it rather then take it for free and be in debt latter in life with the breeder. and for the ones that say they will gift there dog's let me know what you got maybe I'll take it. 3 1 Quote Link to post
