How much would you pay for a jam up dog?

[Jason Dunn]

I been contemplating buying a finished dog I just wanted to throw this out there to see what the going rate for a 100% trash is broke med to long range dog that produces hogs consistently in a decent populated area. I would like to know from the guys that has good dogs how much worth do you put on them I have heard a lot of guys talk about how they were offered anywhere from $1500 - $2500 for their dogs I have yet to own what I consider a dog of this caliber but would like to get a feel for what a jam up dog is worth.
So if you bought a jam up dog I would like to know what you had to pay for it or if you own a jam up dog what would you say he's worth don’t mean to embarrass or offend just a honest question. I guess im cheap most I ever paid for a dog was $400 he was all hog but had alot of issues with my style of hunting I have raised one thats decent and got a couple good young dogs that need a good dog to hunt with to finish them out right.

Hmmm.

The most money ever put down on a grown dog for me was $300 and he wad killed a week later. So that answers what the most I would pay for a hunting dog with a temporary life tag on it.

As for selling one that is  my best................Nope ................. if I were faced with selling my best I would give the dog to a close friend or family memeber that actually appreciated the dog and I knew would take care of it. Or just turn them into a yard dog and let them bay the mailman. 

Not a rich man.....but its never been all about money round here.

For starters I don't think you will find a "jam up" dog listed on the internet. If the dog is so called "jam up" one of his/her hunting buddies or someone who has heard of or been behind the dog would scoop it up before it ever had to hit the internet.

Im with YBM, I think I would give mine to a friend or have a nice yard dog around.

Couldnt agree anymore with Yellow.  Now, i have paid more than 300, but as far as my dogs, they have no price tag on them, if I was to ever get rid of them, they would go to my friends that I hunt with first and foremost.

You usally get the good dogs from some one you know or you luck in to them ,
I would say though a price that might get you a good dog if the person is willing to sell would prolly be $1500 an up , that is if the person is even willing to sell ,

Your best bet is to get lucky an by the a dog when the owner gets pissed off at them for some reason or another
I just sold a dog like that to my buddy the dog made me mad then a few nights later I sure wish I would of had him haha but that's how it goes

If the dog was a jam up dog he wouldnt be for sale... Most of the jam up dogs people are selling might be there number 2 dog... And most of the time it's probably a great help dog... I personally wouldnt take that chance....

Go hunt behind the dog before you do anything.  Put it on the ground by itself and see what it's made of.  If you like it decide on your own what you would value it at if it was on your yard.

I paid 800 for my best dog but  and I got it from a guy on here. About a year after I bought him I found out the only reason the guy was selling him was because it wasn't even his dog he had stolen him

[hillbilly]

I would never pay that for a dog but I think you are in the right price range for a pretty good dog. Most I ever paid for a curdog was 300 for a pup. I paid 1500 for a coondog once but he was a sure enough coondog though. I hunted him for about a month before I bought him.

I have hunted with some good dogs I got a couple buddys that have some but they would rater sell their trucks haha I work overseas on an oil rig and just dont have the time to finish out a dog rite I could shave alot of time off training my two young dogs with one real good dog I got my eye on one to try out $1750 is the price tag on him and I am willing to pay that for a jam up dog. My dogs get lucky some times and find a hog but they are far from jam up in my opinion the pups are trashy man and I need a solid old dog to tell on them even my 3 year old gyp has started trashing with them and I didnt have that problem before i started putting the pups with her.

[c.parnell]

That's the same reason I bought the dog I night cuz all I had was puppies and needed a dog to help get em goin he was 7 when I bought him 2 years ago and he has been worth every penny I gave for him. I e had a run of bad luck with my young dogs here lately and now I'm almost back at square one. I'm not lucky enough to have any buddies that hunt that have enough good dogs to give me one

[reatj81]

Some really good dogs get sold for one reason or another.  I believe you are in the right price range.  9 years ago I sold two really good dogs, I was going threw a divorce, and had to pay an attorney.  Saying that I am very proud of my dogs but think much more of my family.  Don't go buy a dog and expect it to be as good of dog for you as it was from the man that had him.  It takes time for a dog to adjust for a new owner.

$1000-$2000 for a sure enough hog dog is about what i would pay. I bought a hard huntin lil gyp a while back for a grand and she was worth every penny in my opinion. My pack of young dogs have all improved while hunting with her. I wish i would have bought a dog like my gyp when i first started out... It would have saved me lots of money in the long run and saved me tons of wasted time hunting pups that really didnt have a roll model. I think it takes an old dog to show the young ins the ropes..

[williamsld]

the most i have ever payed for a dog is 50 bucks but that was just for a puppy, my best dogs I've ever had I have raised from a puppy and trained my self...IMO thats how you have the best hog dog, one you have to put all the work in with and get it goin how you like them to hunt

I agree with YBM above, but to answer your question...

I personally dont have a lot of money to spend on buying dogs, I choose to raise my own or buy a prospect and attempt to finish him/her out.  I would not buy a dog for more than about 500...that is just my budget.  If one of my buddies had a dog that i thought was worth 2500, I still would not pay that because I am not going to spend that much.

I have two dogs that I consider "jam up", they are not for sale and they cannot be bought.  As mush as they are worht to me, I wouldnt spend that to buy them either becuase it is just too much to pay.

All the best dogs on this yard from an 'outside' (off the yard) source, were free. Entrusted to us by fellow dogmen/hunters. I guess I would have to say I wouldn't pay anything. I prefer to make my own with the ingredients I have. I've been blessed with some really nice dogs that I am already working with. I am in NO way meaning to sound arrogant or anything of the sort, it just kinda sounded that way when I read back what I wrote, lol. I guess I've never been in the position where I was actually in great NEED of a 'finished' dog from someone else.

[cdc505]

Man I sure wish the other 99.9% of us could get dogs for free or dogs for a $100 that worked great lol! If I had a pen full of $100 prospect dogs I would damn sure go find me a really nice dog to get them going which I would estimate would cost around a $1000 or more! I got mine started off with friends dogs which were already hammers
