I run about 450ewes and am increasing numbers probably to around 550 along with working on the small family beef farm I have two dogs at the moment one 8year old and one that's 4 iam told they are good dogs by another trainer and I am fairly confident I can train a good flock dog. The same trainer that said they are good dogs says iam nuts not to buy young untrained dogs and sell them on for around £1500 as a way of keeping myself in dogs and make some extra cash i might be able to do 2 or three a year. I don't like the idea of selling dogs at sales as basically iam to soft and would like to be able to vet people a bit. So the main questions are: Do people really buy flock dogs for £1500 ? If anyone else is doing this are you confident you are selling to good homes if so how? Is this a nuts idea am I better just training dogs for myself ?? Ideas please
