Guest greengrass123 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Amazing how many hours you can spend training a lurcher or any other working dog. Yet some people will only travel an hours drive to buy a new dog, doesnt add up what do you think. Edited March 22, 2008 by greengrass123 Quote Link to post

Yet some people will only travel only an hours drive to buy a new dog, doesnt add up what do you think. ive always thought trained lurchers should be priced as high if not higher than gun dogs. tell a shooting man that you have a fully trained gundog for £300 and he wouldnt even bother to turn up. but time and time again you here of people going to buy trained lurchers for £100, before everyone jumps on this of tales of well i bought my dog etc sometimes it does happen and somebody sells a decent dog ive sold a couple myself through circumstances but they dont come up as often as the adverts in the comics tell Quote Link to post

leegreen 2,221 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Traveling is no object but surely you want a dog/pup out of something with some known history and dogs you know. Saying that I recently done over a few hundred miles and brought a pup using my knowledge/instinct and no history but what a cracking bitch she is turning out to be. All depends on how much you want it. Quote Link to post
