zigzag dan 784 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was reading earlier where at the start of lock down people were buying pups off breeders and are now phoning the breeder up asking if they will buy the pup back as they are now returning to work, obviously the breeders are giving back only a fraction of the purchase price and then reselling the pup!!!

Funny enough i was talking to my mate with the boerbol bitch , she cost £1800 quid, had knee Op cost£ 3000, got to hae the other knee done end off year another £ 3000 , what a waste of dame good money for a feckin dog, they all piss/shit the same , as mongrel . i told him the far to heavy for any breed of dog , she 63 kl males hit my weight 82 kl he said that there natural weight, i bet it not ok there big dog got to stop a leopard or couple hold a lion back , but rather have knock about lurcher for £ 150-200 live till 14 with bit of luck, if dont get hurt working 1st . 2 Quote Link to post

poxon 5,725 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The worlds gone mad people pay stupid prices thinking there buying in to something special but in reality there just having there pants pulled down. Why stupid people pay the silly prices people will carry on breeding them in turn enticing more peddling pricks to jump on the band wagon that are only in it for the cash That’s how the bedlington whippets gone every f****r wants one as they want that scruffy little lurcher Look thinking there buying in to something good at a premium An given then stupid names as a sales pitch 3 Quote Link to post
