Price of pups

[Aussie Whip 4,097]

It's the same here atm,if you have excess pups you have to go with the market price or as said they will probably be re-sold for a profit.I wouldn't want to be feathering those asshole's nests.Sad but just the way it is.Best thing to do is not breed litters atm if this situation worries you.

Gotta totally agree with you guys 're prices   and your dogs   I'm More in to my gundogs   and prices are crazy   red fox labs now only coz of colour   1000 pound plus   black or yellow pups 850 to a grand    cockers 1000     I like to try to get a pup around the 7 months use to pick one up for around 800   now 1000-1200      I don't mind a breeder making a little   but now it's getting silly prices

 

As for all these designer cross breeds  your looking at  starting prices of 2000

Yet few years ago  before celebritys and all these reality tv shows  same pups would of cost about 250 max

Yup crazy cross breeds are worth way more than pure bred. Terriers that you got for couple hundred now near a grand or over. Sickening

After reading this thread yesterday, I decided to do a bit of research on various websites and I couldn't believe the prices of almost every breed or crossbred I looked at. Almost everything was over a grand.

One ad for a lurcher with "rare merle colouring" was near the grand mark and another for a litter of lurchers from "excellent show winning stock" was roughly the same. 

Some of the crossbreds must have absolutely no reasoning behind them at all other than, "I've got breed A and I know someone with breed B so we'll mate them and rake it in." One ridiculous example was a collie x mastiff...no doubt with the intention of keeping poachers away from your flock! I've also recently seen kelpie x patterdales (maybe for herding vixens) and (I kid you not) a shih tsu x poodle...though they didn't advertise it under the obvious name of a shitpoo!

It’s only since this coronavirus outbreak the prices have gone up, not sure why don’t think there’s really a reason. Theres a lot of new crossbreeds appearing, not just your original cockapoo or labradoodle, which are basically their own breed now.

Working dogs should be gifted between mates, but pet dogs who really cares, I can’t get my head round the outrage, if you don’t want to pay big money for a dog just don’t buy one. As long as these dogs aren’t entering the working gene pool what’s the problem.

Like has been said though, what if your pals haven't got the time or the space for a dog? 

It's either sell them on or knock them on the head, not many will choose to do the latter. 

[Peco 27]

Breeding to keep a line of a dog  etc   

And   breeding litters to make a business or just coz some people are to lazy to get off the ar%e and het a job   I know where I'd be going for a pup

Reckon if your pals are keen dog lads & the bitch is a good one that they’ve seen run they’d take a pup. Plus you never HAVE to sell something, you’ve always got a choice, people with lurchers often make out it’s the only option but in reality just want a few quid, my mates got a litter of 9 on the ground at the moment no money changing hands for any of them, the lad with the stud didn’t take a penny either
