well that comes back to that saying I don't agree with "catch dogs are a dime dozen".
I agree...catchdogs/bulldogs are definitely not a dime a dozen
There's nothing wrong with paying a fair price for a well bred pup...you have to decide for yourself what a fair price is. Which brings up another point....research. You want to have good dogs, you have to do some leg work. Phone calls, visits, laying hands on dogs, hunting with the dogs, etc. You would be amazed, if you do your homework and put in the time and leg work. What I have found is there are plenty of folks who care more about putting their dogs with honest folks who'll do right by the dog than they do $$$. So you can get dogs/pups with the specific blood, temperament, work ethic, health and conformation without having to go to the bank...but, you'll definitely earn it by your actions.
Help me be clear on this.
Are you guys saying that a well bred dog, bred specifically for the good traits of catching hogs, can still catch good, have a good handle, be smart about their work, be healthier in general, therefore having a better chance at living longer?
Come on! That’s like saying a well bred hog dog has a better chance of being good at finding and baying hogs!
Do you actually think folks should pay a little more money for a dog like that even if they needed it and a had too?
