ha ha  hell youngun tell us how you really feel !!! lol   you ain't buying a dog as much as you are paying for the TIME invested in getting a dog to be worth that much money  .  it all boils down to   time = money  . you can't justify paying that much hell don't . stop and figure your feed and vet bills on a 4 or 5 year old dog and then figure how many hours you've spent with that dog and add it all up . you might then get to where you can price a dog  lol

[cantexduck]

a dog is worth what someone will pay. Just because you wont spend 1500 plus on dog doesnt mean I wont. Just the same has I might expect my dog to cast out and find the hog vs walking them to it.

[t.wilbanks]

Would you sell your dogs for 100 bucks??

Would you sell your dogs for 100 bucks??

I will sell u a picture of my dog for 100 then can hang in the woods with a set of hobbles under itmaybee the hog will tie himself up rather then have his ears ripped off lol

Your dog feed must be free!   Not all cases but most in life you get what you pay for!    If you haven't ever hunted with a $2000 dog how would you know if you wanted one or not!   To many hunting is way more than catching a few every now and again!    If someone chooses to put money in dogs instead of soup hounds that's their business.  Or in 4 more yrs of Obama it could be the govt business.  Then they can take away all dogs, they may give some back.   Distributing them out equil!    Lol

Lion and bobcat hounds can easily hit the 5k mark. My hounds don't have a price.

[cdc505]

Heck a collar costs $150 up. Dog gotta be worth more than that

[Jasonmac]

If you dont like the price of a mans dogs then dont buy it............ Also dont say he is ripping people off either it takes a lot of time to make a dog.

[T-Bob Parker]

Strangely as it may sound, I agree with this fellow.

The more "hog dogs" i see, the more I believe most of them, even the "jam up" ones  shouldn't be worth more than a few bags of food.  

[JRyanS]

All the people that are talking about the time and effort in training them, well, that's your deal. You chose to do that on your own. There are too many people trying to get out of debt by selling one dog.  But! On the other hand, if you don't agree with the price that's an easy fix, dont buy it.

With that said, I have noticed the price of dogs slowly rise through out the year. Anyone know why? (legitimate question, not starting nothing).

If a dog isn't any good, it don't matter how much time energy effort vet bills or feed has been thrown at it, it still isn't any good. If all the time and such pays off and it makes a good dog, then a person can justify puttn a bigger price on it. If all it can find is a food bowl, and you've put a couple or a few years into it, it is still only a feed burner.

ya'll are stuck in the hog dog world . there is a whole wide world full of dogs that hunt other game . the price of a hog dog is dirt cheap and set at the bottom dollar of the dog world as it is . expand your horizons and go and start priceing you out a finished lab or a started pointer for quail . then go and check the big game and coon hound prices . hell a sho nuff good squirrel dog will cost you 1500.00 dollars  lol . hog doggers have got it made even with the 2500.00 dogs that are out there . right now the average price on a purty good dog is only 500.00 dollars consider yourselves lucky it won't last forever .

...all the dog i have i payed 50 to 100 and there just as good hood or off the box dont trail bark 100% trash broke and people want 500 for a pup that might work well guys dont let them screw you out of your money cause they will...

In general prices (for anything) are determined by the availability and demand of the desired item.  If these $50 and $100 dogs you speak about were really that good, then no one would be paying any more than that.  People pay what they feel something is worth, and I sure wouldn't think anyone would feel they got the short end of the stick as long as the purchase (for whatever price) meets their expectations.

Besides...what concern is it of anyone how someone else chooses to spend their money.

Since I'm one of the guys your talking about offer me $1,500.00 for the gyp I've priced at 2k. I'll turn you down. Am I crazy...maybe but that's my business and not yours. You ain't got to throw dirt on very many 2 & 300 dollar puppies that you bought and raised for a year to have that much money invested and still have nothing.
You can adopt a mustang for $150 but how many of those you going through to find what you like in a horse. Doubt I ever would.
As far as that goes milk, bread and gas are to high...have you quit buying that!
Like my add states, only selling two or three and keeping the others and I priced according to how I like them.
And don't accuse me of screwing anybody! You don't have to buy them...nobody "has" to buy them. There is not one puff of smoke in that add!
I value what I got...invested lots of time, money, miles and energy to get here.
Glad you have been able to find dogs that suit you cheap. You are fortunate. Hope they keep serving you well. Best of hunting.

Price rising through out year? Easy enough I think. Dogs that were just gettin started in January are started to well started in September. Also, anyone who is serious about hog huntin wants a dog that will be ready to go come January 2013. Supply and demand?

[USHOG]

If you have good dogs people will pay you what ever you ask...

[Plainhorseman]

I would think of it this way . How much would y'all charge a month to train a dog? ?? Gun dog, cowdog, coondog, any dog.
