flinn 47 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've been at it a long time mate, Russell's.... you couldn't get rid of them 10 years ago but now you can flog them for ridiculous prices cause they have papers now. As for any cross of lurcher you would pay up to £300 here for a top notch dog. Quote Link to post

Guest lurcherboy2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 the worse thing is the prices are rediculous but if you buy from far away always seems to be high prices and people want to meet you in public services or carparks etc and half the time dont see thep parents, i have 6 dogs and payed £150 for all 6 when i had a litter of lurcher pups i give them away to good working homes and in a few years or whatever when im stuck for a pup or if something pops up my mates will return the favour, dearest i let one go for was £30 and thats the only 1 i sold as it just covered food costs and worming syrup etc, most the lurchers, terriers and whatever else for sale these days are talked up to the max you give a good amount of cash for them and they turn out wank i'll never buy a dog off someone i dont know but i did buy 1 im a game fair this year but a few my mates knew of the man and know what he and his dogs are like so it wasnt too bad but if the dog dont make anything ill give him away not sell him on for £250 like most robbing arseholes these days, i can see your point mate who made this topic and im glad you brought it up the bas*ards are getting worse these days dog dealing feckers Quote Link to post

sighthound1811 6 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) how many of the guys who breed show winners would actually work their dogs through a hard season??? not many!! a would give away a dog capable of winning at the biggest shows if it had no inclination to work!!! terrier or lurcher!! this is the reason there are so many litters about with inflated prices attached to them!! people think if they pay a lot of money for a pup it must be something special or guarnteed better than other dogs...which is bulls*$t!!!!!
