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. 3 Quote Link to post

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. 4 Quote Link to post

Blackmag 6,036 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 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 Quote Link to post

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? 1 Quote Link to post

two crows 3,342 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 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. 3 Quote Link to post
