The pups would only fetch half the price if they were as well trained as the parent.

Puppies dont automatically inherit the working skills of the parent, they may be genetically predisposed to be able to reach such skill, but unless you have the experience of the trainer to teach said pup, they will only fetch the normal going rate.

For 6k for a working dog i'd want the dog to be able to do all the housework, make cups of tea,and learn to drive so it could go pick the kids up whenever they wanted

Oh but hang on, if I had a dog that could do all that i'd be redundant.

That's true but I guess who ever brought the dog would train, have someone train the pups up.
Besides didn't a puppy go for about £3000 at the same sale.

LOL---they'd get some shock if they thought they could get that sort of money.

This is trained proven dogs at a specialist sale.

Mind you Tassle is on her sheepherding course so maybe I'll nick Siren when she gets back!
