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
I have 2 free dogs that are going great. And I don't mind paying but just cause the dog has seen a hog and has some obedience doesn't boost it to $900. If it was a dog like Justin's snuff he mentioned. I d do it in a heart beat. But from talkin to Justin, he had them hunting pretty regular from 5 or 6 months old and would definitely say they had more woods time then 1 hog (probably in a pen) those jagds were Findin their own hogs. I could see 900 for a dog like that.

For the post you made there, personally I d rather have the pup, and train it, work it, put time and effort behind the dog then When it made a dog it would mean more and be more self satisfying. I do have dogs that I got at 1.5 and 11 months. That are doing good and wouldn't trade em for anything, but there's something to say when you see your pup you raised since 4-6 weeks old get to be 6 months and burns out 400 yards and makes a bay and choppin away.. That's JMO
