I hate to get rid of her and I wont if i dont have to but right now I think maybe it is best to get rid of her to a good home and get another dog with higher pedigree than hers. I guess what i am trying to say is that i cant afford to have two dogs right now

Um... why on earth do you feel dogs are disposable???

Ok well this one goes out to melissa who obviously has gotten the wrong impression!!! I aint throwing her in the trash, she is a part of the family and we are very attached to her. I have invested time and money on her training and I dont want to get rid of her. I am just trying to establish my dogs value based on the facts about the dog.

Hi Lilfrill

You say in your opening post that your bitch "is currently wrapping up family protection and she already had her obedience training" and you say she is part of the family so she sounds like a nice dog, even if her pedigree does not look particularly impressive, it is, after all, just a family tree.

If you get another dog with a "higher" pedigree, what do you expect to get from the new dog that you are not getting from this one?

I was thinking of maybe starting my own kennel and I am afraid that the dog I bought might not be the right pedigree to carry my kennel, I am just trying to value my dog void of emotion and since i am new to the whole deal I want to generate outside opinion and advice. Like I said I want to keep her and chances are I will not sale and will just buy another dog when I can afford it rather than selling auna to get it. who says you got to have a dog to have a kennel anyways?

"I hate to get rid of her and I wont if i dont have to but right now I think maybe it is best to get rid of her to a good home and get another dog with higher pedigree than hers. "

Sorry, but you get rid of or dispose of garbage or items who have lost their usefulness. You should not even think about starting a kennel until you can value a dog as a living, breathing creature.

These are how more then half the posts on craigslist are worded.

Why don't you begin her impressive pedigree, by training her and putting all the titles you can on her, after all she's a German Shepherd Dog, one of the smartest breeds.
You will get some satisfaction along the way, and you already have a relationship with her, go for it, you'll have to do the same with another dog you get.
Pedigrees don't always make the dog.

Unless you think you'll never be able to title her at anything, and she's off the wall crazy & hyper, then it would be an easy decision to rehome her.

whatever melissa who are you to judge me I have a strong love for animals and that is why I bought her in the first place because I have known her since she was a pup. You have gotten off on this wild rant and all I want to know is how much is my dog worth aside from emotional attachment and the only way to get that is to ask people with no attachment to the dog. I agree with your stance totally but you are aiming at the wrong guy missie and I would appreciate it very much that if you dont have an answer to the question I asked then there is no need for you to post. And if you go up to my original post you will c my original question everything else is irrelavent

Lilfrill, even though you have emotional attachment and may be bias because you are with her and clearly lover her. You would still be the best person to say how much she is worth. You know the intial investment and I guess have seen her parents or at least one since you have known her since a pup. And you should have a good idea of her potential as you have been training her. And you know how much time you put into the training and also should know her limits. This is very much like selling a used car. As the owner you should have an idea of value. Then look at similiar aged and sex of dogs actually for sell and compare it that way. Or compare it to the type you want to purchase and how much you are willing to spend for that dog. Good luck and be thick skinned if you are gonna post on a public forum. Especially this one when you talk about sensitive issues. Such as getting rid of a dog to purchase a new one. Some may form ideas about you true or not. But you open your self to that. Just take the good with the bad and dont get into pissin matches with someone that posts a reply you dont like. They can and will but they dont know you personally so unless they are correct dont take it personally.
