How much would you pay for a jam up dog?

It gets tricky with hunting dogs. What may be a 'jam up' dog to me, may be a p.o.s. dog to you. Matter of fact, my husband's main strike dog, a Patterdale, was not quite right on the game the previous owner used him for....so he was sent to us....and MAN is he a fantastic hog dog for us! Also, I've seen it many times as well with hogs dogs.....some dogs will hunt great for one person, but when they change hands, they may not hunt the same way. Or, the new owner may not like the dog's style. I think we all have the same goals in mind when hunting, but I know alot of us have preferences in our dogs. So all of this would be factors in what the 'value' would be of a dog to someone. Hell I was even GIVEN my AKC English Bull Terrier. He is my childhood dream dog. I could never afford one from a breeder. When I do have extra money, it goes into the kids and animals I already have, BUT, when others wanna spend high dollars on somethin....more power to 'em!

I am a reptile hobbyist breeder as well. This is a similar subject that comes up alot in the reptile world. The value of certain morphs of snakes.....can be anywhere from $50 to over $15,000 easy. All in all, the buyers are who have most influence on the price tag of these guys....boils down to what someone is willing to pay. Same concept. Like I said, I've been given most of my best dogs, or bred my own. But if I was just starting fresh or what not, and I came across a dog that I was able to hunt behind, and I liked what I saw THAT much, I'd pay as much as my budget would allow me to I suppose....which wouldn't be much these days, lol.
