poachers apprentice 134 Posted February 3 Author Report Share Posted February 3 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 ? Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 9,487 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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. 2 Quote Link to post

Chaff 3,590 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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. 10 Quote Link to post
Deerhunter1 771 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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 1 Quote Link to post

Chaff 3,590 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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. Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 9,487 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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 . 4 Quote Link to post
Moonlighter123 155 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) 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.

fred90 3,205 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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. 1 Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,077 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 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 Quote Link to post
