DOG TRADERS

My favorite line....


I have too many dogs, gotta sell this one.   $XXX.XX  or trade for such and such dog.

"What I don't understand is why people don't cull their own."

Thats an easy one, why cull and be out the cost  when you can instead sell it for $100-$200. And hence the problem with the dog peddlers and newbies.

well i think that if you are trying to sell are buy a good dog on here that dog should come with at least a 2 week trial.i would also say that a buyer should ask to hunt the dog with the seller before he or she ever took the dog on a trial.a lot of people are trying to sell these (finished dogs) on here and in my opinion if ur selling that caliber of a dog then here is what that dog should do. it should hunt hard no matter short are long range by itself with no other dog there period!it should also be able to find its own hog ,stop it and bay it till u arrive.i no some hogs are very hard to stop so in that case that dog should stay with it till the cows come home.also i think that anyone on here that trys to sell good dogs and just down right out lies about that dog should be banned from this site !

Outlaw,

also i think that anyone on here that trys to sell good dogs and just down right out lies about that dog should be banned from this site !

   Are the admins and mods on this site supposed to go on every hunt when a dog is sold and on trial?  If not, how would we know if the person selling the dog lied about it, in order to ban them.

This site has no business getting involved in who buys and sells dogs. Before that day comes, I imagine the dog trade will be removed altogether.

Are there peddlers? sure.
Are there good honest dogs for sale, buy honest people? absolutely.
Something else that happens often.  A person thinks they have a great dog, they sell it as such, then the new owner has higher expectations of their dogs, and the buyer thinks the seller of full of it, when in reality, they just have different expectations.

  I think my dogs are great. To the next person, they may think they are culls.... Much of it is in perception.

BINGO!......BOTTOM LINE.......

Granted there are crooks everywhere, but I think the above is 95% of the situations or more....

yes bingo i agree.  we have been sold dogs before that were suppose to be real jam up, and yes they worked ok, honored a bay, and maybe tried to find a pig, but couldn't keep up with the dogs we already had.  now with that said i think territory and hunting styles also have something to do with it.  maybe one of our south texas dogs is a finished jam up dog and we sell it to a east, west, north texas person and it just doesn't cut it for them.  maybe the terrian or the way that person hunts them is way different and the dog has to take more the a couple of weeks of hunting to get it right.  i do agree there are some people wearing out the dog trade, and i have really noticed it in the past two months.  i can think of one name that i know will be up there everyday.  i do think there are honest people out there and the problem with me is i trust you until you do me wrong.  "screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me"

I hear and feel all your pain. I just can't understand that deep down if you know a dog doesn't work he needs to culled not sold for any amount. There is always people that think keep the best and sell the rest well if a dog don't work don't sell it. Culling it would be better for all hunters. Although there are some dogs that aren't up to some pack standards and aren't the best for their pack but would be someone else's number 1 dog.

 i am new on  this site . but if i sell a dog which i have 2 gone now i will give a trial  or the buyer can come an hunt the dog with me or i will go hunt with the buyer. but people need to explain in details  if the dog is finished or not. to me a 2yr old dog is not finished he might be good and find his own hog a be quick about it .i have got a 2 yr old full blooded parker dog that is finding his own hog  that people would call him a hog dog but he is not. a finished dog is 5yrs old or older in my book. but the is alot of good young dogs out there  that can get the job done .to me a short range dog hunts in a persons eye sight, when a medium range dog makes a 15 to 30 minutes round, and a long range dog you go find him some where bayed. now i am talking about when there is no hog sign around.but if the owner will not give you a trial are take you hunting with the dog are go hunting with the person wanting the dog i would stay a away. but iam not always right either just  my opinon whether you new on this site or not tell the truth about the dog.because the truth is going to come out when the dog is hunted. it takes a least 2 weeks for a dog to get use to a person  but also the owner of the dog should have the cash in hand. if the dog gets killed  or lost he is your dog.if the dog is  TRASH don't sell the dog give it to a good home.and give them a good phone# and answer their phone calls don't hide after you sell a dog it  is a lot of good honest people out their you make your OWN NAME FOR YOUSELF NOT ANYBODY ELSE.and stand good for your word because in the old days a persons word went a long ways

Cottongin... I like the way you think.

Ahhh... The Dog Trade. It is what it is... a free classified service to our members and none of ETHD's business on dog deals. The day we have get involved in people's personal business is the day we close the doors. Every bad deal i've heard of could have been easily prevented.

[southsidehunter]

I went to the dog trade today and picked out a name I don't see post on the hog dog section. I clicked on his profile and clicked last post and went through his post which wasn't many. Not that its wrong but all his post were about selling dogs, I know its not wrong but come on now. They come on here to pawn their trash on here and can very easily disappear with your money once the deal is made. Their whole objective is to make money and disappear. . Just be careful if you don't reconize the name go through their post history and make a smart decision.

  Funny thing, I just read a post just like that.

well i will say this if there is anyone out there that has ever bought a dog from me that wasnt 100 percent happy with it i wish they would contact me so i can make things rite.i have talked to people on here that try to tell me they have a dog for sale that has been finding hogs since it was 2  months old,well i only wish that i had a yard full of those lol.i guess what i would like to see is some kind of rule on here that says something on the lines of ,if your trying to sell a jam up dog it needs to come with a trial or u cant post it.i no this would be hard to do though.the main thing to remember is what goes around comes around.

I hear this all the time, but as long as deals have been being made, there have been crooks.  There are still people I deal with daily based on their word. No contracts, no BS, just a man's word. In fact, I have been doing this for a little over 13 years now, million+ annually, and I have been screwed out of money one time, to the tune of less than 1k over 10 years ago. Just remember is a man's word is not worth anything, then his signature is not worth anything either.

  you guys hit the nail on the head .. many  years ago i lived in the countrny in central , tx. where every one knew each other , it was nothing to stop and  help people that you didnt even .. or give some one a ride ..didnt even blink an eye .. now days  you have to think twice about helping any body ..it is hard for me to stop and help a woman ,not knowing what might be in the ditch or woods .. just my 2 cents .
