How much for trained dogs from Europe? - Page 1

Hello,
I wonder what price is usually paid for trained dog from europe. Sometimes I think trainers ask me too big price. I know it is hard to say- depends on many times such as pedigree, age, level of training. So I usher some examples.

1) male without FCI registration (Malinois or Holland Sh.), 8 months old, dual purpose (he can bring everything, biting on sleeve), HD, ED ok

2) female GSD with FCI pedigree, 2 years old, HD, ED A official

3) male GSD with Czech FCI pedigree, 1 year old, dual purpose + basic obedience, HD, ED A official in pedigree, biting on sleeve, also ringo, real protection, really beutifull exterier (dark sable coat)

I considered all of these dogs are completelly health, standard built, they have scissors bite and all teeth.

Person from Europe offered me them for
1) 1.200 USD + shipping
2) 3.200 USD + shipping
3) 4.000 USD + shipping

I am curious if there is possibility for buying dogs cheaper.
Thank you all for any answers.

Can't help you without knowing their pedigree's; but I do know this, unless you want your dog to come into heat 2 times per year and not be working then I would pass on the female and probably go with #3, and how familiar with Malinois are you?? I would probably pass on him also. That leaves #3. Good luck Nan

You are a Czech broker ???
Did I miss something?

Ridiculous prices

1 Who are you, what is your goal,what is your experience with dogs , where are you located ?

2 Do you have seen the prices in the US.....in the US they make fun of that prices protecion dogs czech
blah blah blah bloodlines dog 12 monts old 8000 $ family protector, bite sleeve etc ,etc.

If you went buy quality dogs always take a look by yourself and test them., never trust only videos or marketing blah blah blah. Check chip, DNA  correct papers

Check also health results DM, back,eyes and teeth and more.

Real good quality dogs you have to pay...........

 

Many years ago in business and in Life I was told this and I can say without a doubt 99%

of the time its been very true!! "GOOD THINGS ARE NOT CHEAP, AND CHEAP THINGS ARE NOT GOOD"!! 

TRANSLATION= you usually get what you pay for, so if your looking for cheap you will Surely find it!!

though its usually comes at the high Cost Of Poor Quality!

If your a good trainer and you bring on a great dog working with him/her for 2+ years you probably would not sell him/her cheap..Right! Then again if the dog was poor in quality and low drive or has issues you would want to sell it cheap and just move on. The Best dogs once proven don't sell cheap but they sell fast! Think about what real training cost in time and input and this comes at a cost. whether its done in USA or Abroad.

last year we imported a Really nice GSD Female for a GSD breeder thru my connections, This Female now is the home page for this Kennel, They are thrilled what we imported for them and a year later they are still talking about how Awesome she is!! Truth is I really wanted her for my self but you can't have them all and we didn't have the room.

They paid a pretty penny for her, 4k and Most importantly she exceed their expectations! The Thrill of a cheap Price is short lived as its later forgotten about epecially when you encounter the poor Quality! However, The thrill of Quality and Integrity in a Great Purchase lives on well after the Sale. My advice "Buy the best dogs you can find and Afford"and if all possible go and see them, and deal with reputable people with a good track records, regardless if their in USA or anywhere else.

 

Be well & All the Best

I did not have to look at their prices; just who they are...and what training they have had. Also the female. Don't want to have her in season. Or not?? That pretty much wraps it up. Unless you want a cheap Malinois. Somehow I don't think so. That leaves #3 at 4K. Can you negotiate the price any? Good luck Nan
