sighthound1811 6 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 whats up wi the price of lurcher an terrier pups ???? some of the prices you see are f$%*ing outta this world!!! my litter of 3/4 greyhound 1/4 bedlington pups were given away for free ...cos they were goin to good homes!! some people need to have a reality check an ask whether they are into dogs for the pleasure of it or are they in it for money??? at the moment am planning to get a jack russell in about 6 months but some of the terriermen (of the bullshitter variety) have been quoting f%&*ing mental prices for pups!! what is the world commin to??

(a will go into the details of the litter for a favour later on ) Quote Link to post
sikastag_1 689 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) i have noticed it mate, some prices are daft money for a dog i have a price range in my mind what i would pay for a dog Edited August 28, 2019 by grant_c Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 working terrier pups here usaully go for in round the £ mark... but lurcher pups cant be given away no matter what theyre out of... when i started in terriers russell pups could be got for £25... if you were paying £30 for them then they would have been out of outstanding stuff Quote Link to post

Guest smashygadge Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 well as to your step into hunting sounds very similar to mine the guy i got mine off bred for his own use.my price was to help the dam at birth which was done in loo of my dog . and he also gave me my first 2 ferrets.now he has not got any of his own line left and without ferrets .due to unfortunate curcumstances .but now ive got him a nice litter of kits to have his pik from free and hopfully i can line my greyhound with my lurcher this season for the only reason to replace his lost stock and for the fact he gave me what i have today.its a case of you get what you give in this world.well you do with a certain few Quote Link to post
sighthound1811 6 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) the litter i bred was a favour for a good mate who introduced me to hunting with dogs...a aquired my hound an a was goin to breed it wi my mates collie greyhound cross... but unfortunately he was walking them in a cemetary an a japanese akita went for my mate an grabbed him by the calf muslce an ripped a chunk outta his calf muslcle off an his two wee dogs went for the akita to try an defend him...one was a whippetXgrey an the other was a collieX greyhound but the whippet ended up wi his back leg hanging off an the collie one ended up gettin his neck an shoulder crushed so much he had to be put to sleep with the whippet one!!!! when all was said an done the guy got took to court cos there was a few witness' an got fined £110 even though it cost my mate £140 to get his 2 dogs pts!!!! AN HE STILL HAS THE DOG WHICH HAS SINCE BIT A FURTHER 3 PEOPLE!!!!!!! ........ Edited July 21, 2008 by sighthound1811 Quote Link to post

flinn 47 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 On the same wave length oldskool would never pay over the odds for a dog, people who buy dogs for that sort of price have too much money or need there heads looked at. Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 yea, you can get papers with them now and thats the problem... i'm not in the game long but russells used to be nearly all form working stuff because every wee town/village always had some old fella that done a bit of hunting with a few russell type terriers and every year the ole codger was sure to have a litter.... or maybe that's just where i live??
