sometimes a 9 month old pup is worth 1000 bucks if you know what your looking at...could be a once in a lifetime dog in the making or maybe a great hog dog in the making...at 2 years of age money won't hardly get that pup...
So you can just look at a 9 month old pup and tell its worth that kind of money  I need some lessons even though i would still never pay that for any kind of pup |

Bought two 9 month old dogs from a guy on here a few weeks ago for $1,100 with a trial. Guy said they would range out with lead dogs but didn't leave my feet! Only reason I believed him that they would range out was because of blood line they were supposedly out of. Now he's not answering calls or texts !
Oh and jmo but i have been through this never buy any dogs without hunting with them first - buy em in the woods if you know what i mean. I have called/texted many of these guys sellling these "strike dogs" or so called finished dogs - 95% of the time they fishtail on you when you try to line up a hunt with them. But to the good honest guys and there are a few praise all of you! |

So you can just look at a 9 month old pup and tell its worth that kind of money I need some lessons even though i would still never pay that for any kind of pup the best hog dog I ever owned was doing amazing things that other pups of his age couldn't do and this started at 8 weeks and he was tracking hogs in the woods at 4 months old...I also had a jam up strike dog named smoke and this pup I am talking about was neck and neck with smoke when that pup was 10 months old and was a hog dog deluxe at a year of age...I have had quite a few good ones that were pretty good before a year old... all I was saying is to be on the look out for these type of pups...because 2 pups for 1100 dollars of this type are a bargain... |

I have paid more for a single dog that was 8 months old. A dog that is a real dog in the making is worth a lot more then some seem to give it credit for. But, it makes no sense to me to pay that much and not hunt with the dog a few times.

coon hunter...you make a good point...but if I liked the bloodline and the pups were hunting fairly well by 9 months then 1100 dollars is not that bad...especially if I were wanting to start breeding my own line of dogs...starting out with well bred pups from a long line of huntings dogs that are linebred/inbred that look right and hunt right will save lots of years of culling because someone else done paid for all that...just a little tweaking here and there to get the dogs how you like...it would actually save lots of money in the long run... even if not for breeding but just to hunt them and they turn out above average then it is worth it to me... but getting back to the topic...I don't have enough details to decide one way or the other...so I gave examples as to what it would take for me to give 1100 dollars for 2 pups... |

If you think about it really ain't to bad. You see 6-8 week old pups go anywhere from $25 on up to $600 depending on papers or no papers and the line. If the pups are papered with the right lineage it ain't that bad of a deal for 2 9 month old pups IMO. Its not a price I would be willin to pay but it doesn't seem like a crazy price for TWO pups

Besides from my lab(never sent the papers in) I have never bought a puppy tht came with papers. I have never had the "want" to breed dogs. And to date I have never owned a dog that was worth breeding beside from my catch dog, that I got spayed because a male got hooked up to her years agos.
Papers give you the blood line info on certain dogs,true. How easy is it to pass along fake papers? Are papers better then the breeder telling you about the dogs back ground? Papers,to me, are only used to mark up the price of a dog from the sellers point of view.
How many yellow dogs are posted on the forum with a healthy price tag that have papers following them. Same with cats,hounds etc.

I once looked at 2 dogs that were pretty built right and seemed to smell the ground a lot they sure looked the part so I gave what the guy asked for, the dogs didn't turn out and I never complained about it to anyone but myself. I also learned I couldn't look at a dog and tell it was going to be a good one.

Buying dogs is a touchy subject. I dang sure would rather spend 1500 on a young dog that is doing good and getting better then 1500 on a older dog that is as good as it's gonna get.

I dont much buy dogs but I've got friends who've looked up and down and under every rock in every state. I've yet to see or hear about anything real good bought that's supposedly finished. You wanna buy a hog dog that's getting it done and the guy ain't in no bind, be prepared to finance it  |

I know i wouldn't but god forbid for some reason i had to sell mine no it wouldn't be cheap! But no i havent really priced hog dogs i just know you don't have to spend that to have a hog dog! I know i won't anyways |

All dogs can be bought.
People expect different things from a dog. What you may like might be something other people cull for.A good dog isnt behind every tree. Lets say I have seen 100 dogs hunting. I can think of 10 that were good. Maybe two were worth breeding my eyes. Pretty slim odds. So is spending 1k on a young dog worth it to some? I think so.

There is always a magic number. It may take a taller stack of bills for some but they all have a price. That price may be way higher than what a sane man my pay but a nut job with a briefcase full of $100 bills stacking them high enough will buy any dog. |

If someone offers to buy a dog that I'm not sure will work for me ill take it otherwise ill offer the dog to ppl I know for free if they can use it. However there are two dogs in my pens that cannot be bought. Well I take that back I might would take a million for the pair. If it ever got so bad I couldn't keep them the brindle will go back to my good friend that gave him to me as a reject cow dog and the red gyp would go to another good friend who values her just as much and will use her in the same fashion as I do.
