I personally think that dogs are incredibly overpriced.  I know that there is a lot of time that goes into a finished dog, and a man's time is worth money, but the people training these dogs are not in it for the money I wouldn't think.  What exactly determines to you that you are going to sell a dog for 1000 plus dollars.  I heard of one that sold for 6000 the other day.  Is it just rich guys looking for a hobby that you sell them to, or are normal everyday blue collar people spending thousands on dogs?  I really do not get how someone will spend that kind of money on a tool, to use in a dangerous sport, that might not live through the next hunt.  Its like buying a ferrari to race on a dirt track.
