I’m not shy of spending if it’s worth it , I’ve had some given to me and I’ve paid upwards of £700 once  to get something I thought was a bit special (it wasn’t) 

but Jesus, who the hells buying these ?

I honestly think its over the top but at the end of the day no one puts a gun to your head to buy one . I myself are looking to buy a spaniel pup some time this year and i am willing to go up to a grand for one.

agree with that mate, I paid a grand for a whippet pup 2 years ago, she was bred the way I was looking for and so far I have been more than happy with her

If you look hard enough you can still find circles of honest lads, that breed the odd litter from decent working stock for themselves and mates.

300 quid got me this bitch pup and I'm thrilled with how she turning out.

There’s not many out there that’ll gift pups, when there’s a litter on the ground it’s amazing how quickly greed can get the better of people. Unless you’ve seen parents run you really don’t know what you’re getting so I think £500 is more than enough to spend on such a gamble

I’ll agree with that , have bought blind a couple of times and got lucky though

I have heard its 70% owner 30% from the dog, no guarantee a pup from big names makes anything special from what I can work out either.

It's only my opinion and it's a small lurcher type that would suit me and their is no doubt beddy whippets make cracking little dogs but I would sooner have taken a chance on the cocker x whippet  pups that was on sale in Liverpool a wile back for 200 rather than the beddy whippets at a grand more .

Tight b*****ds. .. cost you £200 to stay in a premier inn on a busy night.. if you can afford it, then buy the dog you want.. not the dog that’s cheapest.. if you can’t afford it, then that’s another problem.. but that’s your problem not the person selling the pups.

a lot of beddywhippet litters I have seen for sale recently I would call questionable, I don't claim to be any expert but in my opinion they don't look like true beddy whippets.

Covid brought prices up for instant alot lurcher lads jumped on the band wagon breeding cockapoos and selling them for 3 grand a pup so when you think 1200 is nothing
