al4x Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 depends entirely where you are, flog them at £300 here and you will be amongst the un tested puppies price wise. I'd go towards the £500 and sell them as decent pups with the right tests done. Fundamentally the purchase price of a pup is the least of a potential owners costs compared to buying one with iffy hips that will cost a fortune over its lifetime.

Actionpigeons Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) I sold my last litter for work and did do my best to sell them to working homes. Dogs £350.00 Bitches £400.00 sold all very quickly, and two went to mates and I see them working.

WGD Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 £500 - £550 ASSUMING that the sire and dam are not only health tested but also have some decent working stock behind them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCE Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Not convinced the current market will take 500 / 550, I've found pup enquiries thin on the ground, particularly for dog pups. I've my labs up for 450 / 500, they're well related, KC reg'd, the dog has full health tests & my bitch has eyes / elbows / hips. I sort of regret not PRA / CNM testing her but I plan to test her soon as I'm keeping a bitch, so if she's clear it'll save me the £250 on doing the pup.

It's a fair comment, the market will dictate what you can get especially with a breed like a labrador or a springer. Sadly responsible breeding from good working, health tested stock is not necessarily reflected in what the market will pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERCE Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 As a money making exercise getting a labrador health tested is a waste of time, pups from untested stock are regularly being offered for similar money to mine. Very few punters seem to either know or care about health testing. To me it's about morals but having them does make me wonder a bit.
