Covid and dog prices

[Haighy1964 24]

Following the death in our family, we needed a replacement pack member. Got to say, there's a whole load of f***ing rip off c**ts on preloved ext. A f***ing grand for a £200 dog. Absolute low moral twats, dogs aren't a comoddity!

It's the divvies paying it too though if they were right in the head and didn't pay the daft prices they'd soon drop

Dogs are fecking dear nowadays, gone are the days when you could pick up what you wanted for a couple of hundred quid lol

My first terrier was £15 first lurcher, doing dog, £50 back in the day, everything costs now.

Cheers, D.

Difficult i suppose . If the breed you have pups for sale for is selling at 2k a pup youd sell yours close to that price wouldnt you

Sound useful. But not for £1000.

Another knock on from first lockdown lads .People couldn’t go on holiday so some decided to buy a puppy instead 

Facebook was full of lockdown puppies  .Prices went up to meet demand and havnt shifted since .Local chap selling working cocker pups at £2500 and all gone ,labs fetching £3000 and springers £2000.

Mental prices that will only go up the longer holidays are on hold .

Thing is, if you’ve got pups and not got homes and have to advertise .... what do you do, put them on pre lived etc, for £200........ what’s going to happen?

Well if its a monetary exercise you sell at market value, if you're after working homes I'd say with current prices odds are in your favour, as plenty won't be able to source affordable pups, forums such as this with vouched for members and the network outside of it , I'd imagine it's a good time to home a well bred litter....

What I’m saying is if you stuck them pups on for £200 then every peddler will be falling over themselves to call you. As for vouched for members - I’ve seen plenty of folk on here vouching for men and dogs they’ve never actually met, or met once or twice. 
 

Im not defending those breeding with money in mind. But it’s a tricky thing to get right! Not everyone has a big enough circle to home pups work folk you genuinely know.

Crazy prices absolutely. £200 for a dog in 2020 is too cheap in my opinion, will only get passed around until it reaches a more realistic price. Those days are gone.

Few years ago I'd complain paying more than 150 for a lurcher pup but with prices of everything gone up tearing a litter of pups isn't as cheap as it used to be 300 for a lurcher pup seems to be the going rate atm and tbh it's a fair price imo. 

I used to get my raw food for 25p a lb now its around the £1 a lb atm and I cannot find it much cheaper.

Mate was selling pups 150 guy came up for one went away with 3 wonder how much he made of them 

[Chunky11 150]

It can only be the pups that suffer, when they mature, have no training & become a problem the rescue's will be full of them.

World gone stupid . 1800 for a bedy whippet that not even bred the way they say !!!

still some good lads/lasses about who have pups interest at heart and not £££&
