EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Looking for references on a 3 year old parker female he is selling. Anyone seen her in action?

  that's a familier sounding last name ?

pretty sure he is a different guy than the one you are referring to Mr. Whitten.

If I were you I would believe NONE of what you hear about her, go hunt with her and see for yourself with your own eyes. I don't know of him but I know of him, seems like a nice guy. Not knockin him or his dogs at all, just saying that if I was gonna spend that kinda money on a dog I would def. go see it hunt and not hand over money based on someone opinion.

For what he is pricing her at, go hunt a few times with her. I will tell you this, some of those Parker gyps are funny dogs. Takes them a little while to get used to someone new. She is probably worth every penny, just make sure she is gonna work for you!

How much is he asking for her? If it's a lot of money, I wouldn't believe anyone but my own two eyes. Also, see her hunt where hogs are scarce and run like hell... not in some honey hole.

4k Mr. Mike.

Mike. I hear a lot about that bloodline but if u ever notice those dogs have been for sale all over this website. What's the deal if there that good mayb the man has a good one. I'm curious what she's priced at.

Dang gotta b a good one at 4k.

Big boar baby a dog is only worth what you will take out of your wallet. Most dogs that are good are not for sale unless a bad thing has popped up or a close buddy has one. I can tell you this I have been offered well over 4 k for my best dog and I am poor that would go a long ways but not as much as you put in one you would have to pry his lead out of my dead hand. And some of the best dogs ain't high dollar that sir is a fact

Bigboar, what she out of?

a pretty penny Mike. I think 3500-4000. I agree, like I said before I would wanna see with my own eyes as well

ferris tx, I can't comment on all parker dogs obviously BUT I have hunted with 6 or 7 different parkers. A hunting buddy of mine has 1 and she is a real deal go the distance dog. I have hunted with a man a few times that J. Tallina knows pretty well and his dogs were 100 MPH out of the box the first time and every time and they weren't just burnin up the roads, those little jokers were hunting, nose to the ground and gettin after it.

number 2 at 4k buy half a dozen good dogs...4 good ones will beat 1 great one anyday

6*

four grand wont buy half a dozen good dogs of what i like, thats why the guy who inquired about the dog needs to go see with his own eyes because everyones definition of a good dog is not the same. if it was me and i was interested in the dog i would go get the dog on a little trial at the guys house and give him the cash money when we loaded the dog up. i would take her to a place that everyone hated to hunt because of running hogs and thickets. if a dog will stay in a bad thicket for hours they will stay in the open woods too. if she bayed i wouldnt run in to her id let her bay awhile maybe 2 hours just to make sure she will stay bayed. i seen the ad on the dog and if i wasnt expecting a kid in the next month id probably call the fellow a three year old dog is just gettting in their prime and if nothing happens will have a good many more years to be going to the woods. good luck on the dog.

I agree...or buy buy 4 paqrker pups for 800 and train them up...

but if money is not an issue then why not...the only thing better is to breed your own great dogs...

Well I hate to say this but flying out the box a 100mph and hunting hard just don't justify 4k. What amount of bacon does she produce?
He'll dog could b worth 4k but to me  it better find every hog on the ranch. Jmo

Does anybody got a pic of dog. I'd like to see it. It'll b the closest I'll get to it.

Ferris, I could send you a pic of any of the 3 I got, and you could probably just call one of them her, lol. They all look pretty much the same. A little variation on the amount of brindle is as different as any of them get!!

If there worth 4k and look like her shure post a pic. It will give me an idea of what a 4k dog looks like

If she is pure parker,she is probly a decent dog.  you will have to make the call as to whether she is a 4k dog or not. Ive only seen 1 parker that wasnt a decent dog. Some are better than others, but most will make a decent dog & some are great.

They should all look like this. Four different dogs. Two on bike are out of the same male dog.

I've sold some high dollar coon dogs and squirrel dogs, but not that high.

My luck with a 4k dog is, first trip out would find the rankest boar in the country and end her right there. That can happen to any dog.

I just have to reply to this....I applaud you BigBoarBaby for buying this dog, assuming that you do buy her and she is a great dog in your books.

For everyone else, that believes that there are $400 finished dogs for sale....I need you to do a little math and be honest about any $400 finished dog that you have ever purchased....Yes, I am now pissing some of you off.

What does it cost to feed a dog  everyday? What does it cost for shots? What do you spend in gas every time you go hunting? How many years and how many hunting trips does it take to truly finish a dog? How many GREAT dogs have you ever hunted over? So how many free puppies or how many $400 finished dogs do you want to waste your time, money, gas, and frustrations on when you can go buy a $4,000 dog (using example in this thread) and catch hogs every time you hunt for the next 4 years?

Again, if this dog is a top dog, then she is worth every penny at 3 years old.

I just want a place where I could catch hogs on every hunt for the next 4 years. If I had places with those numbers I could make a finished dog in 4 years for about 1200 in feed and a couple hundred for the dog.

To each his own. the value of a dog is determined by the thickness of the wallet of the man buying and his willingness of that man to spend it.

I think that's exactly what i said.  You spend that much on a jam up dog....first-time out rank boar. Cut down never the same. Buy 6 good dogs be better. Never seen a dog worth 6 good ones.. if YOU hunt places that have runners. Get rcd....

If a dog is that good it will only get better with time! I could see paying that much if i had that kind of money.  Cheap dogs that finish is rare unless a friend hooks you up on a good line!   A Good line dog with proven traits is worth paying for because down the line you could really make some fine dogs with that one dog.   

I've seen her hunt. I'd give way more than that for her. She's the best I've been around.

Some of y'all must have deep pockets heck I  feed the horses each day vet comes every week or two shoer comes every few weeks they get road every day wish they could sell for more due to that and not there quality. Reputation of one dog can make a line worth more not saying any dog ain't good or worth what there asking this is jmo

Well every Parker dog I've seen is brindle. I hunt with a couple guys that have Parker's that go back strait out of Larry's yard so they say. My thing is whys the dog for sale. Just don't need her she finds to many pigs or money situation. I know this dog sounds good but if u put all the time,food,money,vet bills ect. In my best dog with her quality nobody could aford her.
I believe she priced to not really want to sell. Or hit a big lick. Jmo

I know quite a few dogs that have sold for over 4 grand , and when they're bought, people have hunted with the dog multiple times and know what they're buying.  That's high for most people, but when you want a damn good dog right now, you gotta pay for it.

I know you couldn't buy my male dog for 4 grand...is he worth that much, Not at all, but I'd spend a long time trying to replace him so to me he's worth more.

When someone has an established line of high quality dogs that also reproduce themselves and has a yard full of them and their litters have a very high percentage of top quality pups produced...then the value of said dogs are not a big deal...because good dogs are easy to come by for that person....

For some who do not have that access then a great dog is hard to come by...and that person more than likely will pay a good price for said dog...it is about supply and demand. ..

Ok BA-IV u said right ur dog ain't worth 4k but that's what u would want. So my thing is how can u go hunt with a dog a couple times and say ok she's worth 4k. What all do yal look for in a dog.
I was fortunate to buy a dog off a man I never met. Buddy of mine said this mans wife is selling her pack of dogs she may sell to u go check. So I made the trip to see didn't have time to hunt so I was iffy about buying her. After hours of talking and getting the rundown of the dog the husband said u sound like a straight guy take her hunt with her ass much as u can in a month call me tell me if my check is in the mail or she coming back home. Dog was 3 1/2 yo. So a month later called the guy told him check was in the mail for $850 dollars. So yea there r jam up dogs for way less than 4k. There r people on here that can vouch for milly she can and will produce bunches of bacon.

Reuben so your saying Larry Parker has nothing but jam up bloodline.

No...I can't say that about Larry's dogs...I once had a pack of mt curs I liked better than most dogs out there and probably as good as that 4000 $ dog...but to some they were culls because they opened on track....and they wouldn't give up a track so I didn't hunt the evening if I worked the next day. ..

You're version of a good dog is probably a lot different then mine. So in the end, if the gyp is a hog dog and suits the guy wanting to buy her, then she just might be worth it. I'm not spending the money, so I don't care what she sells for. I know good dogs are hard to raise and produce, and if you think otherwise then our version of a hog dog is very much different.  Four grand sounds like a lot, but I couldn't replace my lead dog for that unless I got lucky.  Very few real hog dogs ever see the internet, most are bought and sold by word of mouth.

10-4 I agree. Well good luck to the guy selling the dog and it's new owner.

im not arguing that at all, like I said above, I do not know that particular dog and I highly doubt that it would take 4k to own one of the dogs I was referring to, I was simply answering your question about parker dogs as a whole based off my experiences with them, nothing more, nothing less.

dang good post brotha! I agree 100% with what I highlighted in red and im in the exact same boat. I don't think I would take 4k for my two best dogs......hell to be honest I don't think both of them combined are worth 4k BUT I'm not in a bind for money and selling them would hurt my pack big time and it would suck to have to attempt to replace them so for the same reasons as you stated my mutts are worth more to me than 4K..........weird the way that works ain't it lol  ;D

I don't hardly ever post on here I just like to read the post but y'all r exactly rite most of the time good dogs r sold by word of mouth anyways jmo it don't mean much but hog dogs that can by there self find bay and catch pork with on a regular basis is worth 4 grand easy what I have found out it's much easier to hunt a pair of dogs take two good help dogs that wanna put them together to make one good dog jmo

A dog that can make a hog when all the other dogs are coming back getting in the box is a dog that's worth 4k or whatever price your willing to spend. And really four thousand ain't that much for a good dog. It was a coon dog over this way the other day that sold for a tad over 20k and that's regular in the coon world. It's no way I could ever consider paying that much for a dog cause I have pretty bad luck but some people have good luck lol. I know some guys that bear hunt and buy a good many dogs from 2000$-10,000$ and will buy one tomorrow if it's better than what he's got right now. I guess it all depends on what kind of dog you want to feed. And knowing when the dogs feet hit the ground the next time you see him where ever it might be he will have the meat would makes it easier to spend a little money on a good one

Y'all does it really matter how much the seller wants and how much the buyers gives? If it doesn't directly affect y'all in some way then why say negative things or comments? Yes I believe there are 4k $ dogs and even more expensive dogs than that. Bottom line is if the seller is honest and the buyer is happy then it's a good deal no matter what was paid for the animal.

sometimes what a dog or horse is worth , and what it would cost you to replace him is two different numbers  ;)

If it aint directly affecting you or your wallet. Then why stick your hands in their cookie jar? See how your own statement can get spun back to you. Not picking an argument, just making an outside observation

I think it just depends on the person spending the $ if he has a shortage of land to hunt , time, and good dog training knowledge it can be tuff starting with nothin good but for the guys that have plenty hogs and land with time a man can make his own dog for way less it just depends on the situation

I fine it very hard to sell a good dog over 2 k seems like too many cheap pot eaters out there that people think are good!  I tried to sell my dog Kirby for a week and that was disappoint because the dog is good hands down but his age is a big down fall! So I'm better off keeping him!   So I think if you find a good dog and you have money buy it!

Well did ya get the dog and was or is it what you thought

Personally, Ive never had the opportunity to own or even hunt behind a dog that cost 4k, but have hunted with dogs that were probably worth it. With that being said, if I would've known then what I know now, I would have to save for a while, but that's exactly how I would go. Like most everybody on here, I have a fortune invested in dogs, kennels, equipment, vet supplies, feed. A cull or a no-hunter will probably cost you more in disappointment, anger, frustration, depression, I could go on and on and still haven't added, the same investments  as what the high dolla dog will cost you to house them. I'd love to have 2-3 sure nuff go out and find a pig and hold it til I get there with my lead-in. So my point is this, if this dog proves to you when you go hunting with this feller, that she is everything he says she is, and you feel she will fit your deal, then I becomes a no brainer. My opinion, do exactly what the hands before me advised to a T. Then go bring home some pork for the house and pics/stories for us! Good luck to you and God bless!

I know this much about parkers dogs if you buy one from Larry and are not happy with him you can bring it back and get your money back!! For a man to do that he raises good dogs and is honest and that is all a man can ask for!! Not everyone like the same kind of dog!! I like parker dogs and that's what I will hunt as long as I am able!!

yep ^  I sure like mine !

no reply from bigboarbaby since the post was made,i dont think ard had a parker anyway. a dog trader
could throw a name like parker on a dog for some big bucks and never have a drop of the blood in him in an attempt to score some cash.alot of activity from bigboarbaby in the dog trade section makes me wonder.

I'm hooked on Parker's myself

Lol big nasty

I don't know ard but a few of my friends have hunted with him and the gyp he has for sale they all say she is a jam up gyp. Is she full blooded Parker not sure about that is she worth four grand I doubt that just from what I have herd.

1 post in 4yrs counts as a lot activity???

29 posts out of 49 total in dog trade section maybe you better look again

http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2543;sa=showPosts

I did look again. Now my math aint the best, but oct 2010 to oct 2014 is 4yrs. Untill this topic, his last post was in 2010 and he posted looking for a dog in 2014, so again, 1 post in the dog trade in 4yrs sure is a lot of posts

Not sure how my recent activity would play a role in whether or not this dog is any good but if that's how it works judging by your aactivity you do more talking than hunting Mr. Nasty. Thanks for the info from people that had seen the dog that's all i was looking for. I did not get the dog.

I still count  29 posts maybe my math bad or u counting topics created

Internet hog hunting,no

There's guys selling dogs for 4k?? hey I got a few and the price just went up $3999$ and a 5% discount on Brindle dogs and free over night shipping hahahahahaha I missed out on this post had to say somthing

On page 1, now there is 1 additional post, but with the first 4 posts, the first 3 are in oct 2014, then the 4th post is dated in oct 2010. Thats what i was going off of when i said 1 post in the dog trade in 4yrs. Yes, i did see a good bit before oct 2010, but i wasnt going off that. He might have posted a bunch back then, and finaly found what he was looking for and didnt need anything till now.

Some peoples kids geez, some people would argue if water was wet....

What u talkin bout willis, water is dry. Aint u ever herd of a dry ice? If water wasnt dry, u couldnt get dry ice

For somebody that doe sent breed or raise his own dogs, and is a serious hunter that is a fair price in my opinion if the dog is and does what the buyer is wanting
