I don't know about bird dogs, but the high dollar coondog market is driven by competition hunters willing to pay for the odds of obtaining a winning dog, which can be backed up by the seller pointing to actual competition wins (however relative the value of the "wins" may be). Names certainly play a big role in that market. After all, that's how we designate certain lines. Even there, however, pup prices are pretty close and consistent.
But the Dogo deal is different: I know of no practical measure that a Dogo seller can point to and say, "That's why my started Dogo is worth $1000 even though you can buy a more than serviceable, fully trained catch dog for half the price or less." One guy told me Dogos can catch mountain lions and other "dangerous game." When I asked for some proof, he was miffed.
