Bad, isn’t it? My last two bed/whips cost me £200 each & they won a lot at shows and I knew both parents! Poor chap. Post pitiful photographs of your dogs when wanting to sell and us good folk will come running?
I saw him yesterday. That's inflation for you!! I hope for the best for him but lurcher people won't pay that and he's not really being marketed for the 'pet' market very well is he?

Theresa W ... no, forget it ?

poor boy. No they won’t pay that when matey down the road is selling a litter, that they know the parentage of. Greedy cow. She’s holding out for full payment so she can bog off to an all-inclusive in Benidorm for a week.

Stupidity. I view it as the same as horses only worth what people will Pay and if folks will continue to pay these ridiculous prices then people will keep charging them.

I’d rather go to the dogs trust and get a pup or young dog. I don’t have the time for A dog and my landlord won’t let me but as soon as I do I will be adopting rather than lining someone’s greedy pockets. I know someone who made 24k from a litter of sought after designer dogs

Ugh, that poor lurcher baby. He's cute and some idiot here would pay it if she gave it a fancy enough name. Cute and cutesty names are selling like hot cakes here.

Found a nice little mongrel type from a rescue, I'm afraid I'm posting it because her legs rival George's ?

I went down a preloved rabbit hole. Fck me, it's scary.
Collie x lurcher x saluki (or as autocorrect would prefer, salami?!)?
So many puppies, stud dog wanted, even what seem like genuine rehomes have massive price tags attached :(

This is very interesting. LOF is the French equivalent of KC registered. No price hike. Is it just greedy UK sellers? Springers are not hugely common in France, although definitely increasing in popularity.

My hairdresser has two pet trained labs that she paid a lot of money for. (BC). TBH it makes sense for her, she is well off and they got a dog that sits, stays, comes, doesn'tr widdle or chew and is well socialised. I think it is an excellent idea and if only more people would think it through.
As for the price even pet trained takes work every day, add that to cost of pup, vets, at least 12 months food and keep...


Wouldn't 'rehomed' be a better description?

Do we think puppy prices will drop once this year is over? I’m just gobsmacked at the money people want for not even KC registered. Surely given the usual amount of people breeding, byb or good breeders, supply will soon once more be outstripping demand?

Well, I thought the prices were coming down a bit until I found a trained Lakeland terrier for £5,500 on, I think, Pets4Homes ...

I might consider training mine ??
