Is this price ..........

way over the top? My good friend R breeds BCs and Central Asian Sheepdogs and has decided to start breeding JRs seriously.She has her original JR who has had 2 litters and now she has taken on an outsider broken bitch pup to show and ultimately breed from. Said pup is with me for a couple of weeks as friend has a litter of BCs and doesnt want to take the risk of introducing a strange dog. Said dog is an absolute love, creates no problems and adores cats and horses

. Said pup costs 1,ooo euros on the open market as a show standard pup

Is this possible? What do pedigreed show standard broken JRs go for in GB? Will put up some photos of Menta (Mint) this evening-she is adorable and its going to be hard to send her on

Sounds mad to me!

TBH I wouldn't expect a JR to cost more than £200 over here, but they are very common dogs.

Impossible to say really, as Jack Russells arent recognised by the Kennel Club so there is no such thing as a show standard one?

In our local papers/in H&H they seem to go for £175-£200ish but that is for an ordinary working/pet one

Ahem.... my lovely Boris is not KC reg, just bog standard short working JR with unknown history, He was £200 (he's 1 and half year old now). JRs aren't KC regconised, only Parsons if i am correct. The price you just said is silly for a non pedigree/non KC reg breed. But on other hand JR's are wonderful pets as i know mine is!

He's in my signature

JRT's are recognised by the KC (Well Parson Jack Russels) so therefore a K reg. top show standard JRT will make a lot more than an unregistered £200 pet JRT.
The Parson JRT is the long legged true working type.

I thought Mairi was referring to Jack Russells?? Parson Jack Russells are a completely different breed??

Sorry Mairi, I may have got the wrong end of the stick here

My boyfriend's mum breeds lhaso apsos and they're from a relatively good bloodline and the stud dog is shown and won a few competitions. She sells the pups for around £500 and I think they're suppose to be a little lower than the current market value! I don't know how much Jack Russels go for, but I think they're slightly more popular than lhasos and might go for more. I knew someone who was selling labradors from a really good bloodline and show background for nearly £1000!

there are show dogs on the circuit that have been sold and loaned for over 30k
