THIS CALLS ATTENTION TO INFLACTION. WHICH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED. AS LONG AS THERE IS CHEAP MONEY AND WE CONTINUE TO LIVE ABOVE OUR INCOME, WE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
40 YRS AGO PUPS SOLD FROM $ 10 TO $ 300.
GAS .25 PER GAL
IF YOU PUT JUST A 10 TIMES INCREASE TO THAT PUPS SHOULD BE SELLING FROM $ 100 TO $ 3000.
GAS 2.95
NOT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE IN RELATION TO JUST GAS.
WE FIND IT HARD TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO OUR SPORT.
But hides were worth far , far more in relation to the economy than now ....
There were far , far fewer pups availabe back then too .. and fewer titled dogs and fewer registries ...
So ... those two factors alone are more relevant to pup prices than what gas is ... how is the oil market related to coonhound prices again , lol ?
If yall want to talk money .. then price a pup according to how much I can earn back and what my chances are of earning it back with that pup .... in that context that makes more money sense .... pups are worth about $5 each !
On the other hand .. it's a hobby ... tell me what about the parents makes those pups worth money and what are my chances that one pup will make me a coondog ... in that context , pups are worth a little more ... about $50 each , maybe $100 for a proven cross .
