QUOTE]Jack, I believe Kandyman is referring to the best of his stock, and I don't know many truly active dogmen who are going to post up stats with names/references of so and so along with precentages. I don't think a high tag makes a bulldog more valuabe more game or more able to produce the same.Originally Posted by CA Jack
Now having said that, I believe as a breeder if you so choose to sell your stock, then a price that you as an individual feel is going to compensate the loss you may incur parting with that particular animal should be some what substantial. But like stated by Kandyman, that high priced pup is no more likely to turn out.
I think this seperates a breeder from an active dogman, as most active dogmen don't just experiment and sell those pups.I have sold awesome dogs for pretty cheap, like Ch Mr. Serious ROM for $300, but that was because his mama and daddy were untouched at the time I bred them.
I completely agree...but a beginner more often than not doesn't need someone's "best" because he'll likely eff it up.I agree that an experienced dogman can (through his knowledge / reputation) get some great dogs cheap ... or even given to him if he's good enough at what he does ...but most beginners do not have the sense to know which is what, nor the reputation to get anyone's best handed to him for free.
Most Breeders/active dogmen aren't targeting the "beginner" as their customer, they are looking to channel their stock into working hands.
Good discussion
