Detection Dog Prices - Page 2

My neighbour at the kennel raises whippets. She was at the airport, shipping out a pup to its new owner. Another lady was there shipping out a labradoodle or golden doodle.

The mixed breed mutt was sold for considerably more than the purebred whippet from champion parents.   What a screwed-up world!

Labradoodles are sold for more because there's a market for them to be service dogs for those with allergies.

Plus, people will buy anything for whatever price you'll sell it for.

I have seen some purebred gsd puppies sold for $7,000 and $8,000. Crazy.

A high level Aussie trainer was the first to think of and conduct the experiment between doodles and allergies.

It was not effective and extremely difficult to match dog and allergy so he abandoned the project.

That it is still being marketed is just scamming.

It was the biggest shame and regret of his life that so many con artists are promoting it.

The responsible breeders at best call them allergy friendly.

"
Conron has since repeatedly stated he regrets initiating the fashion for this type of crossbreed and maintains it caused "a lot of damage" together with "a lot of problems". He also felt he was to blame for "creating a Frankenstein", adding that problems were being bred into the dogs rather than breeding away from problems. He is further quoted as claiming: "For every perfect one, you're going to find a lot of crazy ones."

Thank you for the honest opinion Vk.

Sarcasm??

VK is well-versed in 'Labradoodle' history, it is fairly
common knowledge that Mr Conran eventually wanted
nothing to do with his project once the 'bandwagoning'
got well underway. What I don't think Conran foresaw
was the huge extent to which people would start breeding
these crosses for the money they could bring in, nor the
enormous trend it would propel forward for all those other
'designer crossbreeds', most of which have had zilch to
do with assistance or allergy dog work, but have often been
advertised & sold as though they do. Nor the extent to which
some of those cashing in would do it in such a horrid way for
the dogs, as many reports now show a lot of these dogs being
kept in really shitty, neglectful conditions.

Locally born and raised SINGLE purpose, DRUG detection dogs, 4K-6K. Prices will go up if the dog was imported, its titled before becoming a detection dog, etc.

Single purpose EXPLOSIVES detection dogs, about 10K, again, much more if they are imported and/or titled before detection training. Health guarantees have nothing to do with this, no one buys a working animal without hip xrays.

Prices for private detection companies vary from $800-$1200 a day for EDDs.

actually hired dog, many countries DO buy singlepurpose dogs without Xrays as they buy large numbers and get much better prices like that,

I would also say price isnot only important also quality is , wouldnot want to send my people out with cheap medioker quality or bad trained dogs

therefore I am always amazed when departments turn down extremely good dogs for a tipping ear, chipped tooth or not so desirable looks/colour/coat,

Vk- No I was serious :).
