dog prices

I think there is a big difference in bird hunting and hog hunting. $$$$$$$$ Bird hunting you start and end with the wallet. People will drop money to just go hunt. Those are the people that pay top dollar for a hog dog. Because if you trained a dog and someone wanted to buy it what would you charge? If it was someone who would take the dog hunting every weekend the price would go down because you know the dog will be happy. But if it is someone that just wants to go hunting a couple times a year you figure he will loose interest and just lock the dog up in a back yard the price goes real high. That is why the people that really care about their dogs will give them away to someone that will hunt with them. But they will not sell them at any price to someone they would not give them to.
