£400 a working mans price ? 

Times have changed.

Working bred pups went to working dog men for free, or a price that would cover the breeding and leave a bit for the breeder to have a pint or two.

Dont get me wrong, it's a sellers market, and I don't begrudge lads making a bit on selling pups, if it was what I wanted, price wouldn't enter the equation !

My last two dogs, a teckel and a deer/grey, were gifted, because the breeders knew they'd be worked, but I'd have gladly paid the asking price.

But I still feel a little uneasy about "working mans price".

Just my opinion.

Cheers.

The pups I was gifted were weened on flesh, chipping, was up to me, they were puppy wormed until I got them.

As I said, I don't begrudge people making a bob or two, but there's still lads out there who breed, not for profit, but to keep lines going and to see their pups going to good working homes.

Ive had some good bitches I thought of breeding from, but didn't , if I was to breed, it would be for a pup for myself and for lads I knew that would work them. They would be free, any left over would be culled.

I would pay any price, within reason, and travel any distance, to get a pup I wanted, but I'm glad to say there are still people in the game that put good working homes before money.

Cheers.
