8 months old and already started in obedience and has seen a hog. You get what you pay for and the funny thing is folks usually have to spend much more time and money to get a decent dog rather than just fork out the money to pay for something that has had a lot if time, money and planning poured into it to produce a better quality pup/ prospect. Not saying you can't get just as good dogs for cheaper, but the odds are not in your favor. JMO
here is the thing for me...
a star is born and not made...if this 8 month old pup is on track to be a great one and he is bred right and looks right and socialized properly I would gladly pay the money...
I would have to agree BUT I see where most are coming from saying that they wouldn't spend that much on a young dog, here is what you have to keep in mind, the fella "jhy" who just posted about that pup is buddies with the man with the dog and has been around it obviously due to his posts so he knows for sure that the dog is what his buddy says it is, we however do not. make sense? pretty much I am saying that if I had been in "jhy"s shoes around the pup growing up and been a witness to him progressing then I wouldn't mind at all spending 900$ IF he was the right dog for ME.........with that said, I don't know the dog or the trainer so I would be much more cautious, can't be too safe now days with people getting screwed over on dogs left and right.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that if I would have posted "snuff" on here at 8mths old for 1000$ that I could have got it, it probly would have been easy honestly, all I woulda had to do was post an accurate description of the dog and bring him to the woods with a potential buyer and let "snuff" do the rest. I can say this with 100% confidence and honesty, I would have payed 1000$ for snuff at 8mths old if I had been in the position to buy and not sell, I regret sellin that little devil to this day but family comes first and I was made an offer that at the time I could not refuse, such is life.
