Good sensible comments lads...

I know for a fact, that certain coursing Studs can command a high price for their services, and any resulting pups will not be sold cheap.

Obviously, when a breeder has paid a £1000 for a lining, he is entitled to ask what he likes, for his pups.

I've never mixed in such company, and my lurchers ain't in the same league, so I always try to breed a pup, solely for my own requirements.

 Once, I have my choice to hand, the rest of the litter can then be placed in other, safe hands.

As a pensioner, my needs are modest,..I don't want money,.....I just want,.... a bit more time...

 

 

as the sand keeps reaching the bottom of that big egg timer it's what we all want now.

I've never spent more than £200 on a lurcher pup, and I've had a couple of really good ones. £650? You've got to be joking

I know what you meen, most I spent on a lurcher 250 most I selt em for 150, but a good well bred pup, sure give it your mate if you want, but charge what you want to a stranger, it your choice surely, like bear foot said I cant think of enough people I like to get rid of even a small litter lol.

If I bred a litter and that's a big if but if I needed to i would but i would need to see the stud/ dam work a good  few times and not go of hear say I would gift them as I have done in the past its not always worked out granted its not the rearing that bothers me it's finding the right homes and folk not selling on a gift rather than returning it as agreed if things don't work

I don't think anyone is saying any different really t c. But £650 for a beddy/whippet pup IS over the top.

And you've just said, why should people give pups away,  but you've given pups away yourself? 

I understand to a point what you're saying, but you aint making yourself too clear really.

I've NEVER heard of anyone charging £650 for a beddy/whippet, and I'll bet neither have you. It's f***ing ridiculous, don't matter how much care you put into rearing the litter etc etc

In the beddy section there's two more b/w litters at £500 - £550. And whippets up to £950 if you really want to blow your top

"For a beddy/whippet" would you pay more for something different or think less of them?

the trouble with the beddywhippet is the pet market is far bigger than the working one. we are now the minority sad but true

no one wants to pay much for a pup, but on the night vision thread lads are paying thousands for equipment to spot stuff before  switching the lamp on.

I payed £120 for my first x beddy?/grey and was given a tenner back for chipping ? and that's the most iv ever payed for a lurcher ? a lurcher is a working mans dog so should be sold and working mans prices ? any different and question the sellers intentions ,av they been bred to keep a pup back or is for profit only ?

working men earn some good money these days, that's not a days wage.
