Re: Would you pay £120.


Voted no - regardless of the cross in question I dont agree with supporting byb's or unreputable breeders.

There are hundreds of lurcher pups in rescue already, living in foster homes with kids, dogs and cats etc and being assessed and raised by experienced people.

So to me no need to encourage bad breeders.

Re: Would you pay £120.


If I felt it was the right pup for my kids then maybe. On the other hand It would be supporting a less than ideal situation.The amount would not bother me. i would have payed the earth for my Fudge and she is a crossbreed.

I think it would boil down to whether I knew the situation, the breeder and the dog was right for me....

Re: Would you pay £120.


I take it you meant to say the dam and sire are not health tested? You put the pups are not health tested.
None of my dogs are from hip tested parents so i'd be a hypocrite to say anything other than yes, if i wanted the pup.
All you have to bear in mind is you are just as responsible as the breeder if your dog turns out to have bad hips later on.

Re: Would you pay £120.


yes i would. £120 is a good price when you compare it to the stupid prices people charge for poodle crosses.

I'm with Spot and Brundog on this one. I'd much rather my money went to a rescue centre.

It was a long day and yeah I know that as we chose the pup we would be just as responsible.

Re: Would you pay £120.


I asked this question as this was the situation that my family was in when we went to get my Longdog, we've had rescues before, but couldn't get one this time, as the my youngest brother was only 1.

I was 14 when I got her, but growing up with rescue dogs, if we were allowed one, we would of got one, unfornatly we were over looked because of the age of the younger boys, not that they have ever had a problem with the dogs, apart from Honey nicking their blankets as they slept lol.
