EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Just wondering yalls experiences on getting burned on a dog? Guy changes his number or won't honor an agreement etc! Gotta couple of buddy that's been burned bad!! I'm not mentioning any names but there is a guy that posted in the dog trades section since January first has sold approximately 30 dogs!?! I counted the posts?? If you are a dog peddler feel free to get on here and defend your actions and why you sell so many dogs!!  I'm not trying to start a fight just wondering what y'all to experience has been??

i raise my own dogs, or hunt with the dog for awhile and then buy it. but the dogs i have bout i still hunt with the men. if you hunt with the dog trader alot most of the time he wont sell u junk. but always try to hun t the dog first .

I tend not trust ad by people that only have 30 post and 29 of them are dog ads. (Those numbers were just thrown in not a reference to anyone).

I like the ones that are selling out and looking for more at the same time

i like this one. (plott 4 mnths old gritty, silent !
ya its silent cause it aint huntin yet !

I haven't seen many good dogs change hands unless the two people involved were hunting partners or good friends, and most of these transactions didn't involve money.  The people I deal with are worried about making better dogs, not making a quick dollar.

or how bout you sell a dog , and you were told its a "inside pet" now, but some how she is having a litter.........yep.

Heck, folks get took everyday on all kinds of deals, there's a lot of money to be made as a dog jockey. If you sell a good quality product then go for it. Selling dogs doesn't have to be taboo. Peddlers need to be honest and buyers need to be as smart as their finances dictate. Meaning If you ain't got much money, be stingy about what you blow it on.

Mr Perry has sold horses and dogs for years and years at pretty high prices (to me anyway) but he's got a good reputation and a good product because he's an honest man and if something is a dud, he makes it right.

Thoms and Wright sell alot of dogs and have a devoted and loyal following because alot of their customers value their products.

The list goes on and on, if you want to be a successful dog seller, invest in sucseful dogs and be honest in all your dealings.

All that being said there will be a Starbucks in the Congo before I ever sell another cur dog!! Last time I let one go for 50 bucks, the young fella kept her for a month and sold her $1200 and while I ain't mad at him, I'll never let it happen again.

 Some people sell dogs and some people screw people on dog deals.


T-Bob listed some people who sell dogs.

  Mr.Perry will be the first person to tell you that he sells  abunch of dogs. People want his dogs. If the dog doesnt work out I know he will make it right by personal experence.

I've got lucky... The only dogs I've bought from people on here wen I was starting out was from a few people that I ended up living around me, helped me out, and I hunt with! They were all good people and the dogs were wat they were claimed to be. There still are good people out there you just gotta find them  ;) for instance like T- Bob said Mr. Perry sells lots of dogs. Cus people want them. I'd like to think I've never screwed anybody. I've stayed in touch with everyone I've sold a dog to and they keep me up to date on them. I have screwed myself a few times by selling one I shouldn't hav but I'm happy with the pack I have now. And I've only ended up selling dogs to people I know.

If you get burned by a dog peddler you deserved it.....wake up....open your eyes.....smell the roses. The same people would be the type to go to thailand on a date and then complain when ol' lady boy whips out some extra parts.

Bottom line is you should see the dog hunt with your own eyes before spending money on one.......

If someone does sell someone a dog, especially as 'finished' (whatevrer that means nowadays), knowing darn well that it isn't.....well that's just DIRTY, and if it does come to that, the seller should fully refund the buyer. Now on the aspect of someone being a peddler.....to me, it'd be a red flag if I saw someone advertising a high volume of dogs over a short duration of time. That would definately turn me off right off the bat. Nothing wrong with sellin dogs here and there of course, but when someone has a revolving door of dogs, that bothers me.

hey Rockin ,   WTF lol .  :-\. yur crazy man ! im still laughin at dat

Not from experience Smarlowe....just sayin ;D

Ha ha... I like it! :o

Lol, wasnt expectin that but it makes sense!

ok Roo,  hey Mike, I think Roo's been on a few other sites !  :o
( just kiddin Roo) I still think thats funny!

well since were talkin about dog peddlers lets talk about some of you nice folks that buy dogs.when i sell a pup for good money i try to garante a pup that he or she will bay most my pups start baying at 3months.if they arent they go to pasture if you know what i mean. had a man buy two pups both were baying pigs when i sold them.he calls 3 months later said that one wasnt any good he wanted a different pup told him to bring the pup back and i would give him another. he tells me he shot the pup then i tell him hes out of look i have to get the bad pup back sorry cant help him. he then calls me about 1 month later looking for a finished dog i asked how the pups were doing? he said both were doing great he liked both of them. i confronted him and asked why he lied about shooting the pup?OH I got her mixd up with another pup that i bought. RIGHT SURE YOU DID. HONESTY GOES A LONG WAY I WILL NOT SELL THIS PERSON ANOTHER DOG

When I sell a pup I ain't guaranteeing noting other than the pup is in good health had his first shots and wormed very well and he is bred just like I say he is from good dogs and the sire and dam are almost always on the yard here and he is yours when you go out that gate of mine  .  I use to try to do that years ago and it is  more of a damn headache than anything and if you ask me it is crazy because you never know what the hell people are doing with those young pups and the story's just get plum pathetic   .

or this one...he has found 2 hogs but all he needs is more woods time...that's a red flag...to me a good young dog should be finding hogs on a regular basis...

Started dog will bay in pen. A chihuahua  will bark at a pig in a pen. It's hard for me to believe most folks selling anything much less dogs. Money is hard to come by and I will do all I can to ensure I get what I pay for.

Lol. I have a chihuahua that will bark at a pig and if taken out to the woods he will probably run out as well lol does that mean his finished lol

Some of these dog peddlers are good at what they do. You never hear about any of them getting the crap beat out of them. Their are 2 or 3 in east texas that have screwed over alot of people, one day they will get whats coming to them. I just cant see spending 1000 to 2000$$ and never see the dog hunt.

Hahahah

If I sell I dog I guarantee that I sold a dog! What gets me is when you ask $200-$300 for a dog and the buyer wants a trial.. Really a trial for that amount! I've bought dogs off of here myself and some work for me and some dont.

Yea really. If the person sells it as a specific type, the buyer should be able to put it through its paces. Do u got a car lot, buy a car/tck n not drive to make sure its handles the way u expect it to, and in the manner the dealer says? It dont matter if its $100 or $100,00, the buyer should be able to confirm or disprove what is being advertised, its that simple. To many times people read where a person got burned bc they took the word of the seller n didnt test drive the dog n then its, oh well u bought, deal with it. The words honesty, a hand shake and mans word have been folded over, their butts wiped n flushed down the toilet. Untill iv met n talked with a person several times, i dont trust ANYBODY as far as i could thrown an abrhams tank and i expect the same treaty, to many thieves and liars in the world today, so yea, REALLY.

U must get a trial...no matter how much your paying for a dog...it says it on the ethd unless you want to get screwed out of your money...this guys on here will lie to you all day about how good the dog is and how he works just to get 2dollars more out your wallet.

A guarantee that a dog will bay a pig really means nothing..! I have seen a lot of dogs that will bay a pig but wont hunt...A LOT.. Hell our Min Pin will bay a hog but she darn sure wont find you one..

Blows my mind that so many people sell and somebody buys (obviously) an advertised "HELP" dog. I have gave away many of them through this site that should have sold for a few hundred bucks going by the dog trade etiquette. Soon as the ad is posted my phone is blowing up...

This man right here is a good man to buy a dog from! He tells the truth can tell you the whole bloodline back to great grandparents! I bought penny from Texas hog dogs- Jimmy in the woods she was amazing everything i wanted and more i have had her for dang near a year now and she is flat out hog crazy jimmy has some very very good dogs and bloodline going he is definitely a man i will stay close to and in contact with! Cause i know if i needed a good dog i can call him up and get me one! I might have to bother him about it for a few days but i know he would hook me up with a good dog in a heart beat he is a damn good guy and knows dogs! Thanks Jimmy there will always be room on my yard for some of that Joe line!

$1 - $1000, it doesn't matter. If your saying a dog can and will do something than a trial is no big deal. It's only a big deal if your "stretching" the truth.

people are always going to peddle dogs , good dogs are few and far between and to make one takes alot of time and learning for you and the dog and unless that man hits hard times or the dog not his style the dogs are not sold , most dogs sold are pups or dogs people are giving up on , culls  or the dog peddler that dont know but listens to you and sells you what you want but not really , its been talked about alot over the years on here , hunt the dog first , trial bases , know the dog , or take it in tha butt

all the dogs on here i sell are started, like they said earlier started doesnt mean bay one in a pen, i mean if you really want to start a dog you take it to the woods and let it find three or four hogs in a row, thats when its considered a started dog and you can sell it as one.

Amen brother. We are definately on the same page.

A small pup shouldn't have to be guaranteed and that is understandable...but I prefer to buy a couple of small pups before I buy a year old dog because I believe that most dogs are for sale because they lack something...I would rather take a chance on a few well bred pups because I have as good of a chance of getting the best one from the litter as anyone else...

Amen Reuben! As far as most dogs posted lacking something...that's the truth for the most part...but their are exceptions.

I listed a gyp a few weeks back. She was a sister out of a pair I had. Right at a year old. My favorite dog in my yard as far as straight looks. Blue leopard w/ red trim...leggy...big block head. GOOD LOOKIN, Strong gyp.
She was just showing me that she was gonna be rougher than what I like and she didn't hunt that well. Would go out with other pups but always the first to check back in...then she would hang around till the other dogs showed back up and go out again. She honored a bay and caught w/ the CD every time. Even caught with a couple other gyps without the CD once.

Anyway...listed her just as i described her and moved her to a guy out west an hour or so. He hunts a strike dog and 3 RCD's. She was exactly what he was looking for. He has hunted her a few times and LOVES her!

My rambling point is...you can find what your lookin for alot of times on the dog trade but you just gotta be careful.

One the other side of the coin.  I aint give nobody I dont know a trial on any of my dogs with all the knuckle heads out there that dont know a thing really about good dogs to begin with no sir not me .  They will take your dog and screw your dog up for you is what will happen and then you are getting back a screwed up dog .  I let a man one time take a gyp now this bitch was a find dog and a damn good one to say the least only thing was she was a little mouthy on track but not that bad but I just dont care for a lot of noise on track after they find a hog some bark but not a lot .   He knew this come and hunted with her bought her .  A week are two later calling me saying she is to loud for him and bugged the living chit out of me for a long time well I took her back about a month are two later give the money back like a damn fool .  Get her back and o my Gawd she was trashing on any and everything she had done got open mouth all the way from all the damn trashing his dogs were doing and she went to doing it also is what happen nobody can tell me no different because this gyp was trash broke am not saying every once in a while she would not bump a deer but not chasing any and everything alive .  So I got back a hunk of chit that it took a long long time to straighten out again and he got all his money back .  Nope you can come hunt with me but when you hand me the money and buy her in the woods that dog is yours bar damn none !

yes Kevin, one mans style of hunting dog is another mans cull...but the truth... is where it can get tricky...

I hate when people post up a dog and you call 5 mins later and ask to come see the dog hunt and they say oh it was sold why post if you don't care to hunt the dog before someone buys it

bc the item for sale aint legit, they r just ryn to pass off something for what it aint

My point is if someone says they want a couple hundred for a dog and you want to take it home and trial hunt it then you probably don't know what your doing to start with anyways a good bred puppy cost that much but this is the exact reason why a guy can't sell good dogs for what they are worth. Hell it cost a couple hundred dollars a year to feed a dog, get his shots, water him, etc.. Then you take a dog hunting for a year just to see if he will hunt, not trash, etc then you offer a dog that's a good SOB for $1000 and everybody wants to look and pick his ass apart. Oh well I'm just rambling there's more weekend warriors and wanna be's on here than there are good dog men. And the good dog men will not take any offense to this post because they know who they are.

Agree agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mainly sell pups for people like friends. Well a couple month back I was going to buy a gyp and trade a gun for her also. Talked to the guy and he seemed nice said he would give me a 3 week trial and hold my gun(Remington  model 700 243 with scope) for her. I tryed her on 8 different occasions. Had her for almost 2 months. Put her in pig sign and she would not hunt. Well the guy said if I did not like the he would today give me my gun back.... Called and called texted him n everything. Ended up selling her for a brood gyp n she will hunt for the man but would not hunt for s woman. I got screwed and the guy still has to this day returned my call. This is why I sell all dogs as started or pups. But I am always honest with the buyer. Yes I sell a lot of dogs too. But they are mainly for friends.

Just like many have said i dont think nothings wrong with it if you have something worth multipling not just cute dogs...

It all goes back to buying Dogs/pups from reptuable people. Do your research and you wont get burned.

I think every dog u sell needs to be if it dont satisfy the person then they can bring it back in same shape you should refund them their money .. now if its like my case was and the dude waits 4 weeks then tryes to bring him back ... no ... i usually give all 2 week trials on the dogs i sell .. starting from 6 months and up ... now i have had to give some money back to a guy one time .. but hey if i was in the same shoes where the dog didnt work for me .. i would like to get the same respect i give to others. jus th eguy i am ... Theres a handfull of good guys and gals on here ... but some also have two faces ..

If you buy a dog that's say still a puppy ( under a year old ) or cost
say $300 or less it's a gamble some work some don't. I can't believe the silly crap sone people put on here about trials. I could see putting the dog in a pen and showing it will bark at a pig but that's about it. If y'all no somebody who has 6 month old dogs that hunt out good enough that they will give a trial let me know I'll buy all of them. Lol

Got me some flustered I forgot how to spell

I feel that as long as a man is honest its my choice. I shy away from any man that talks a dog up he's selling. My ridgeback I was told he would catch didn't have a nose and would go with other dogs. He told me he wasn't jam up wasn't a real good dog and may not work for me. He also said if it didn't work out he would take him back. I am super happy with this dog. He does exactly what I was told he would do and more. He finds his own pigs will catch will wind one across a 40 ac field and will stay with one for miles. If he had only been what I was told he was I woulda been fine with that. Where I get mad is when a man says its top notch go getter and it won't leave my side and hunt. If I see the possibility of improvement or being a decent dog I can work with that as long as it wasn't advertised as more than it is.

You couldn't of said it any better. I don't sell many dogs 4 or 5 a year most of the time they are young dogs but if I have an older dog to sell it's prob because I don't like something about him and most times I'll just try to trade mine to someone that has a dog that they don't like. So in the end we either get happy or have the same thing we started with they just don't look the same!

I don't pay for a dog unless I know where you live. That way I know where to bring the dog back to. It is amazing how honest people are when you know where they live.

I had a guy trying to sell me a dog. I told him I only pay for a dog if I know where he lives. He said that even if you know where the guy lives it does not mean you will get your money back. I told him I would chain that dog in the man's front yard and if I did not get my money it would cost him way more than the money he took from me. He called back in thirty minutes and told me someone just bought the dog.

I only get puppies now and from people and lines I trust if I get a dog. I hope I will not be needing a dog from someone else for a few years.
