smarty 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 noticed lately that the price of pups and adult dogs has dropped on this site dont know weather its just because its close to christmas or whatever but keep it up helping a lot of people on this site and good to see people doing favours for each other keep this up and make sure you sell to the right people though just thought i would comment on this thanks smarty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terrier man 38 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 No theres no chance of that.. its because its during the season fella... lads ar selling pups that there over stocked with .. others have made the grade they dont need the excess.. also people tend not to want to take on pups during the season as they will be too busy with the older dogs working.... its just that time of the year... mark my words come the summer time they will be back up there as fellas will have time then... either way them salukis ar not droping a f*****g cent...

woz 260 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 a couple of years ago people were posting dogs wanted and they were getting laughed at...who sells a dog thats doing the bizz in the middle of the season?? i think with the resession looming and lads getting layed off there isnt the money about so the price has dropped...lads that would have a few dogs about just cant afford to keep excess anymore..a good friend is planning to keep two terrier's and one running dog and shed all the rest of his dogs,a real sad state really as what he has, he's bred up over generations and is all really good working stock..i recon there will be some decent dogs for sale at reasonable money in the coming months...........

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Just watch for the Chinese user names to start coming on here if they get a whiff of dogs going for free ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hpool_hunter Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 dont put high prices on anything ive put on here , usually FREE TO GENUINE homes , but usually get someone to * vouch* - for them , i dont see why people make * X * amount off a dog they dont even need or want , surely a good home is better than a large sum , granted the cash would probs help and in hard times , but if the dogs going to a genuine lad/lass whom is going to use the dog of the best his/her ability , then thats a better cause for me . IMO . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on mate Even I remember when good terrier pups were around the £50 mark. All of a sudden, if it's not selling at £500 to £2,000 it's a "bag of *****"?! Too many rosette hunters and chav-tastic puppy mills spoiling things if you ask me. Then again for those genuine working dog lads it's not hard to know who has a well bred litter on the ground, and a pup for a few pints and a day out etc. Leave the messers to it.
