fair trade???

Value is a funny thing because its so subjective. Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay and it is only a good deal if the buyer and the seller come away pleased. There is a difference between a "good deal" and a good deal. I have free dogs and I have owned dogs that I paid a thousand dollars for and I will say that all of them were a good deal. I am funny in that I want good dogs without having alot of money invested in them initially if that makes sense. I don't mind time and energy invested but I just don't see myself paying a large sum of money for a dog as long as the Lord lets keep one worth feeding to train puppies with. Having said that in a bind if I needed a dog and the right one was in front of me and it could be bought I see it as nothing more than an investment in my hunting future and try to determine the value that dog could bring to me and puppies in the future. Just my rambling thoughts on the subject....
