Anybody ever hunted with Jacob Ard?

[ferris tx]

If there worth 4k and look like her shure post a pic. It will give me an idea of what a 4k dog looks like

[bolo]

If she is pure parker,she is probly a decent dog.  you will have to make the call as to whether she is a 4k dog or not. Ive only seen 1 parker that wasnt a decent dog. Some are better than others, but most will make a decent dog & some are great.

They should all look like this. Four different dogs. Two on bike are out of the same male dog.

[Nannyslayer]

I've sold some high dollar coon dogs and squirrel dogs, but not that high.

My luck with a 4k dog is, first trip out would find the rankest boar in the country and end her right there. That can happen to any dog.

I just have to reply to this....I applaud you BigBoarBaby for buying this dog, assuming that you do buy her and she is a great dog in your books.

For everyone else, that believes that there are $400 finished dogs for sale....I need you to do a little math and be honest about any $400 finished dog that you have ever purchased....Yes, I am now pissing some of you off.

What does it cost to feed a dog  everyday? What does it cost for shots? What do you spend in gas every time you go hunting? How many years and how many hunting trips does it take to truly finish a dog? How many GREAT dogs have you ever hunted over? So how many free puppies or how many $400 finished dogs do you want to waste your time, money, gas, and frustrations on when you can go buy a $4,000 dog (using example in this thread) and catch hogs every time you hunt for the next 4 years?

Again, if this dog is a top dog, then she is worth every penny at 3 years old.

I just want a place where I could catch hogs on every hunt for the next 4 years. If I had places with those numbers I could make a finished dog in 4 years for about 1200 in feed and a couple hundred for the dog.

To each his own. the value of a dog is determined by the thickness of the wallet of the man buying and his willingness of that man to spend it.

I think that's exactly what i said.  You spend that much on a jam up dog....first-time out rank boar. Cut down never the same. Buy 6 good dogs be better. Never seen a dog worth 6 good ones.. if YOU hunt places that have runners. Get rcd....

[Muddogkennels]

If a dog is that good it will only get better with time! I could see paying that much if i had that kind of money.  Cheap dogs that finish is rare unless a friend hooks you up on a good line!   A Good line dog with proven traits is worth paying for because down the line you could really make some fine dogs with that one dog.   

[NechesBobcat]

I've seen her hunt. I'd give way more than that for her. She's the best I've been around.

[Judge peel]

Some of y'all must have deep pockets heck I  feed the horses each day vet comes every week or two shoer comes every few weeks they get road every day wish they could sell for more due to that and not there quality. Reputation of one dog can make a line worth more not saying any dog ain't good or worth what there asking this is jmo

[ferris tx]

Well every Parker dog I've seen is brindle. I hunt with a couple guys that have Parker's that go back strait out of Larry's yard so they say. My thing is whys the dog for sale. Just don't need her she finds to many pigs or money situation. I know this dog sounds good but if u put all the time,food,money,vet bills ect. In my best dog with her quality nobody could aford her.
I believe she priced to not really want to sell. Or hit a big lick. Jmo

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.

[Reuben]

When someone has an established line of high quality dogs that also reproduce themselves and has a yard full of them and their litters have a very high percentage of top quality pups produced...then the value of said dogs are not a big deal...because good dogs are easy to come by for that person....

For some who do not have that access then a great dog is hard to come by...and that person more than likely will pay a good price for said dog...it is about supply and demand. ..

[ferris tx]

Ok BA-IV u said right ur dog ain't worth 4k but that's what u would want. So my thing is how can u go hunt with a dog a couple times and say ok she's worth 4k. What all do yal look for in a dog.
I was fortunate to buy a dog off a man I never met. Buddy of mine said this mans wife is selling her pack of dogs she may sell to u go check. So I made the trip to see didn't have time to hunt so I was iffy about buying her. After hours of talking and getting the rundown of the dog the husband said u sound like a straight guy take her hunt with her ass much as u can in a month call me tell me if my check is in the mail or she coming back home. Dog was 3 1/2 yo. So a month later called the guy told him check was in the mail for $850 dollars. So yea there r jam up dogs for way less than 4k. There r people on here that can vouch for milly she can and will produce bunches of bacon.

[ferris tx]

Reuben so your saying Larry Parker has nothing but jam up bloodline.

[Reuben]

No...I can't say that about Larry's dogs...I once had a pack of mt curs I liked better than most dogs out there and probably as good as that 4000 $ dog...but to some they were culls because they opened on track....and they wouldn't give up a track so I didn't hunt the evening if I worked the next day. ..

[BA-IV]

You're version of a good dog is probably a lot different then mine. So in the end, if the gyp is a hog dog and suits the guy wanting to buy her, then she just might be worth it. I'm not spending the money, so I don't care what she sells for. I know good dogs are hard to raise and produce, and if you think otherwise then our version of a hog dog is very much different.  Four grand sounds like a lot, but I couldn't replace my lead dog for that unless I got lucky.  Very few real hog dogs ever see the internet, most are bought and sold by word of mouth.

[ferris tx]

10-4 I agree. Well good luck to the guy selling the dog and it's new owner.

[justincorbell]

Well I hate to say this but flying out the box a 100mph and hunting hard just don't justify 4k. What amount of bacon does she produce?
He'll dog could b worth 4k but to me  it better find every hog on the ranch. Jmo

im not arguing that at all, like I said above, I do not know that particular dog and I highly doubt that it would take 4k to own one of the dogs I was referring to, I was simply answering your question about parker dogs as a whole based off my experiences with them, nothing more, nothing less.

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
