Prices are what a buyer is willing to spend and a seller willing to sell.

Redgy Ramsey is fixing to make this cross:

WORLD CHAMPION TRAMP x WORLD CHAMPION BIG D

Pup prices $2500

At $2500 what hands do you think these pups will go to?

Redgy is making sure he puts these pups into hands of those that will hunt the hair off of them. Pricing them the well he has, he is insuring that.

If he makes some money doing it, what is your concern?

I personally do not pay over $400 for a pup..........Never had any luck with pups I have paid over that amount.

But that is me personally.

I can care less what folks sell their pups for. Either you fork over the money or you don't.

Just cause you can't afford those pup prices doesn't mean folks should not sell pups for what they want.

Just cause you can't afford those high dollar LED light set-ups doesn't mean the light builders should not sell for what they want.

Just because you can't afford a new truck doesn't mean the dealerships should not sell for what they want.

You see where I am going?

Somethings are gonna be high priced for the working man...has been and always will be.

I was taught when I was young, if I wanted something bad enough that I didn't have the money for, to save up for it to buy it.

Still do that to this day........and probably will to the day I die.

If you need my number PM me. I'm tired of calls at 3 am.

I want an 2011 F-250 4 door 4x4 with a turbo diesel, leather interior and navigation, I cant afford it. I will stick to my 2000 4 door 4x4 f-150. I cant see how they sell either. If they do, (which they will) good for them. If you had a litter and people wanted to give you $2,500.00 a pup would you take it? I would. lol
You live week to week along with 75% of all americans. If you cant afford it then don't buy...i cant afford it either, the good thing about it is, it don't mean these dogs are all gonna be world champions or that they cant be beat. I'm sure some of the best coon treeing hounds in the past and present has never been in the competition world. keep your head up, find something you like (if you haven't already) and hunt it hard, the fun is what you make of it.

Yep. A dog is worth what someone is willing to let it go for and what someone else is willing to pay for it.

I've never paid a big amount for a dog and I like the dogs I have more than many I've hunted with.

I've known some dogs that sold for $20,000 that have been beat by my $400 potlicker. That don't change anything. Doesn't make that one less valuable or mine more valuable.

It is what it is.

Yes, there are some dogs and pups priced for amounts that make me chuckle and ask who the heck would pay that amount, but who am I to say.

Coonhounds are probably more accurately priced of all the dogs out there. Scroll through the classifieds in your local paper and see what they're getting for some of those purebred lap dogs and yard ornaments, many of which have been produced simply because there is a market for them with no regards to disposition or health issues.

Maybe I need some madicen to help me sleep.lol And to the rest of you GREDDY coon hunters, hope santa brings you some coal! lol

B+K Kennels, you think coonhound pup prices are high? Go look at other hunting dog pup prices -- Labs and Gundog pups.

Heck, look at the used dog boxes prices on GunDog forums. There selling USED boxes for more than you can buy a new one on the hound sites (I am talking about aluminum).

LOL, I think hunting with hounds is the cheapest dog hunting compared to the other hunting dog sports.

Theres a solution to that do like I do raise your own.Train it and title it breed it and raise the pups and then tell me what you would charge.

I will raise my pup I will train my pup I will title my pup I will breed my DOGS and then I will sell them for no more than a 100$. That way the everyday hard working honest man an women can afford one.Im not stingy Im honest and thoughtful I car about the next man I think of how he feels and what kind of shape he might be in and how he might love to hunt like I do and how he might want a well breed pup as well

Hey Buckshot. Reread what I posted, and see how things was spelled. Then read how the opening post had stuff spelled. Pull your head out and understand I was being a SMARTASS! One thing I do think we are not getting our moneys worth out of is education, and I will leave that at that.lol

all i am going to say is if any one pays 2500 for a pup ,well thats just ridiculous

pup prices

me myself think pups are priced out of range for the avarge working man the younger gen trying to raise a family that really likes to hunt cant afford to pay what breeders are asking for them but there are breeders that are willing to come down on price to help young people get started i have seen alot of post on here trying to sell pups for quite along time because they are wanting big bucks for them they have a stud dog that is titled out get 300 stud fee then sell the pups for 300 each they sell 6 pups thats 2100 dollars out of one litter but like buckshot said if you cant buy one look at cheaper pups dont hack at the breeders you dont have to have a all tilted ped for a pup to make a coon dog lot of old country coon dogs prouduce coonhounds jmo

Great point Buckshot. Rasing the price of ones pups totally does away with the tire kickers and the ones that arent gonna give the pup a fair chance. These guys are selling pups to be comp hunted not taken home and hunted every 3 to 6 months. Its your choice who where and how much you pay for a pup. There are still plenty of folks selling good bred pups for 200 to 350 dollars. If you were selling pups for 1grand each i bet we wouldnt see you on here posting about how high pup prices are..

Thats cool I get it about the spelling.Just because Im not great at spelling or that I might not be the smartest man on here doesent mean anything.Ill promise you one thing Ill work right along beside you all day long and never miss a beat.I might not have book sence but I do have common sence I do regaurd the next mans feelings and when someone need a helping hand well my hand is exstended.So when I stand up for what is right and speak out its is the common people that start in with the finger pointing oh hes trash hes dumb he doesnt know what hes talking about cause he cant spell.That alright one day your going to be standing beside the man or women that cant spell so good or that might not be the smartest of you and your going to need there helping hand then what let see you try and bring them down there the ones that make up this world there the honest hard working backbone of this country.So what evere. And yes I was trying to sell a 6mth old pup on here that was lightly started and doing decent for $400$ she wasnt a 7week old wet noes pup for 700$ why didnt you post the whole thing what ever

why would anybody get on here especially today and criticize a man because a few words were spelled wrong??? did any one every teach about respect.

Coonhunting is a hobby ... if you want to better the breed then you don't " sell pups" .. you "place prospects" with folks that you think will do them right.

Looking at the money side ... you will be so far in the red year after year that you aren't impressing me .... it's not like anyone makes money of those brood gyps before I came along ... so why should I bail you out ... get rid of that flea bag if you're worried about losing money .

Folks try to justify higher prices with making sure they get a good home .... well folks .. there are not shortcuts! Plenty of folks neglect , abuse or never hunt pups they pay good money for ....and there are low income people who can take good care of dogs ...


Coonhunting doesn't adhere to any business math , price formulas or anything else ...


When you sell a truck .. you don't get to charge for the oil changes , tune-ups , or the trips to the car wash ... those are things you have to do if you don't want to run a truck in the ground ... it doesn't make the truck worth more and you can't add that into the blue book value.

Same for dogs .... shots , worming , feed ... that aint extra that you get to charge me for .. that's maintaince that you do and eat the cost of or your dog and puppies die ! I aint paying you extra for that , silly rabbit ....


Price of pups is determined by how good their parents are , proven cross or not , bloodline , location , etc .... and a real coonhunter factors in that this is a hobby and working men are buying the pups ...

High is fine ... but too high and those pups aint getting culled , judged harshly or anything else like they should .... that's not a real coonhunter's philosophy to me ...

If someone buys an ALL GRAND female for $ 5,6,7 or even 50,000 and they breed her to a PROVEN REPRODUCER , that cost alot of money! I have been at this game all my life ( 40 yrs ). It is just like " Where the red fern grows " If I wanted something bad enough I took a second job or sold something , but my family came first. I have seen several people that buy an ALL GRAND female pup just to bred it and try to sell pups. How many times do you look at an ad on here or in a magazine and think to yourself why did that guy not finish out his ALL GRAND pup? A friend of mine has a wife that is into barrel horses and she was offered over $ 40,000 for a gelding in the early 90's. She did not take the money and her husband says that is where 2 fools met! 1 for making the offer and 1 for not taking the offer! lol Best of luck finding the pup of your dreams and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!!

You know we can he and haw over this subject for days. When the simple fact of the matter is Its up to the owner to price his pups and its up to the buyer to pay what is asked. Just think about this you two (in your eyes) Outstanding cooners you breed them how much would you ask for them?? All this is up to the individual. But to come on here and bad mouth the ones that can sell pups for 1,2 and 3 thousands dollars is just wrong. I cant afford to buy one at that price but I am happy for the seller that can and happy for the buyer that can afford the things they want. There has gotten to be way too much jealousy and disrespect in the coon hunting sport here lately. Just because us lil guys that live pay check to pay check cant afford the thousand dollar dogs doesnt mean we can take a 300$ dollar pup and make a world champion out of it. Since when did what you pay for a hound decide how the pup was gonna turn out? Come on guys we are all coon hunters we have enough folks already against us as hound owners lets atleast try to get along with one another. I mean its Christmas day and the only post we can come up with is the price of pups?? We should be thankful to be alive and able to hunt and own hounds! Be happy for your fellow coon hunter if he can sell a pup for 1000$ and be happy a man has the money to buy that pup. Being jealous will get you no where in life..
Merry Christmas to all my fellow coon hunters! Remember God and enjoy your families!

When a trend that is gonna hurt coonhunting or the stock of hounds we use pops up ... it's not a case of " live and let live" . That doesn't even make sense.


It's like the people that push " victimless crimes " nonsense ... nobody would say ' well , he likes to hide in the bushes and look at the kids on the playground" ... " he's not hurting anyone" ...

Not culling , low standards , inflated prices , brood gyps , etc ..... they effect more than just the folks doing it ... we don't have laws against it so it is done and year after year it keeps hurting all of us ....

So every high price hound is off a brood gyp? That has low standards? And just because they paid big money for it they are not gonna cull it?? Justin, Look im not here to argue with you. Im just sayn you are blowing things up you act like high price dogs are the end of the coon hunting world.. Folks DO NOT have to buy these high price pups..And furthermore there are not that many out there.. There are tons and tons of post on here for pups from 125 to 350 dollars.. I just do not see your point..
