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.
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
