There are many factors to consider before you will get any suggestion of merit. Where are you located? Also, what are your credentials in regards to this dog, have you trained and placed dogs previously? What are your intentions for the sale, was the dog mediocre in the protection work and you are selling as a pet or are you presenting the dog as a possible competition dog or family protection dog?
Based on the pedigree, I would think the sale would be more dependent on the above and not the bloodlines per se. But I'm not a pedigree expert, just a perpetual student ;).

Additional question This is very confusing. You have an ad stating that you are looking to buy exactly what it is you're trying to get a price on to sell. Dated the day before you posted this question.

Maybe you should post some video of the dog working to show how much training she's had. The pedigree isn't going to impress anyone. Hip and elbow xrays are also a consideration for buyers.

What do you mean by "wrapping up family protection"? a 13 months old is not wrapping up anything, just starting to get some brains.

Videos, x-rays, pictures.. and honestly the pedigree says nothing so I cant comment on it. I gave away females with better pedigrees but not enough drives to do the work so the price has to be your best judgment.

Good luck

Mpre then half the pedigree does not have any hip and elbow scores ... and half the pedigree is untilted dogs.. The most concerning part would be the missing hip and elbow scores. Could make someone think twice

Well first of all a 13 month old dog trained in family protection ... hardly ! That would be like putting your 14 yr old kid as the security person of your home ..... Greg

By the pedigree the dog is coming a year old. So Im not sure how you came up with 13 months. I guess we are roundng up here? Honestly without hip scores on most of the dogs esp ones from the bitches side, she may not bring much. Obedience is easy to do. My rescue dogs have basic obedience before they go into their new homes. And I agree with the others not sure what family protection is but I dont know of too many dogs mature enough to even be scored in something like this.

Because I have access to dogs of all breedings, I wouldnt pay over a couple hundred bucks. At least prelim her hips and elbows even if the parents are not xrayed. Your asking this question to some pretty knowledgeable people who know how much dogs cost. You might do better trying to place her in the general community where the people are not as up on dogs as those who are on this board.

Just so you know: I had a slovak import, great dog that I couldnt give away. I ended up keeping him.

I think you should consider your priority with this female. Do you want to make top dollar or find her the very best home you can?

Lilfrill, why do you want to get rid of her?
