Title: dog prices Post by: Dexter on March 22, 2009, 11:51:57 am i was asked why i thought the dog was worth 300 and this dog i am talking about is around 1.5 old so lets do some math
feed 2lbs @ .30 per lb = 219 shot 2 a yr 8.00 =16 wormer say 2 per month 24 ok if i did my math right thats 259 time training the dog to sit,come,call back,ect... i guess worthless so if you think a dog a year old or so isnt worth 300 dont call JMO Dexter Title: Re: dog prices Post by: jdt on March 22, 2009, 12:48:58 pm imo a dog that old should be worth atleast that , or not worth the bullet etc etc etc .

:o Title: Re: dog prices Post by: cantexduck on March 22, 2009, 02:32:38 pm The feed bill should not come into play on the value of a dog.
ie- When you sell a truck do you add up the ga. of gas you put in it? no. Like Bryant said" a dog is worth what the buyer will pay". I paid 400 for a pup a year and a half ago. Fed him for that time plus vac.(etc). Sold him last week for 300 to a pet home due to him not having the drive. I think 300 is a good price for a lightly started dog. I paid that a few weeks ago for a 2 y/o. She is doing all that I would expect right now.

Title: Re: dog prices Post by: HogzgoneWild on March 22, 2009, 04:06:42 pm imo i think 300 is reasonable for a 1 1/2 yr old hog dog thats been trained a little and lightly started...if you dont agree dont inquire about it..no need to create conflinct on something your not interested in anyway
Title: Re: dog prices Post by: Dexter on March 22, 2009, 04:33:43 pm thank you ^5
i do know how plan or ideals can be changed, due to things you cant control, or girl freinds,a wife or divorce ,,,,,, ewwwww heck i been know to give good dogs away just to make sure they got hunted and taken care of but thats just me Dexter Title: Re: dog prices Post by: Scott on March 22, 2009, 05:28:15 pm I've really never figured feed into a price. But then again, I haven't sold too many dogs. I guess what it amounts to is a dog is worth what someone is willing to pay. Place a value on the dog, and if someone thinks it's reasonable, they'll buy it...if not, you'll wind up feeding it a little longer.

You eat because you could do the job and make money with your knowledge/ability. The money should be based on how the dog performs. But i believe a young dog with potential is worth that much. If it can bay a hog and move around. The rest comes with age and experience.
