They might be some dogs out there worth 10k but what I would like to know what in the heck are you guys calling good bred or good breeding?I get sick of this term,bred good.People will ask me if my young dog is bred good.Who gives a shitt how he is bred,if he can tree coon and do it right,what the heck does it matter.Does papers tree coon,NO.I've heard people say my dog is bred better than yours,that means he is worth more.I just tell em I don't care,how many did slick trees did he have last month?

If somebody says their dog is worth more because of breeding is foolish ability determines the worth of a dog that being said its no coincidence hounds from top notch hounds make top notch hounds that's called reproducing! Regardless of what many think for a hound to win at a high level they have to be super nice hound because a POS will just not get it done if a guy gives ten grand for a hound they would have to be pretty impressive.

I guess this leads to another question, does it raise a dogs value if it was sold for big money at a young age? You always here about ole' so-in-so who has that 5 year old male dog that sold for $6,000.00 at 15 months old, but hasnt been hunted in 3 years much and the last few times he was out he looked alright, treed a couple, made a slick tree....etc.

A dog is like anything else. It is worth what it can make you. I might pay more than what something is worth just because I want it. But that doesn't make it worth what I paid.
Just means I over paid for it.

"Why? Where you thinking this much for this dog?"

Jay, i sold gin the day after i dug her out of a field tile... lets just say i would have asked for twice that if she had a better tree mouth to go with her ability so i had to settle a little!!

Ten grand is a lot of money. A dog for that kind of money is an investment. The dog would have had to do some serious winning. Have a great pedigree and be throwing good pups. He would have to be be something I felt I could double my investment on in his life span before I considered it

I have never paid near that much but have turnt down more than that for a couple. Don't regret it for one second, yes I am a coon hunting fool. I don't have fancy toys, or live above our means. I don't run down those that play golf or enjoy boating. I don't mind spending a little money on a top hound that I can enjoy hunting for a few years.

There is non of them worth over 500 dollars the rest is what it takes to buy them a dog price is nothing more than what you are willing to part with him for and what a man is willing to pay

This entire thread is about entitlement. Nothing more and nothing less. Those that can pay that kind of money come with the arrogance to feel they are entitled to a profit. It is money driven and not hound driven. The hound is a secondary tool for them to ply their trade as "businessmen". That sits fine with some, and not so fine with others. But, it is their money to spend..... I'm going fishing.

Any one that claims dogs as a business can pay $10,000 (if they can afford it) for a dog. They then depreciate it ,plus their vehicle and all expenses related to raising, training(hunting) etc. They can buy new vehicles (of any kind) and get by with it as the government figures if you pay $10,000 for a dog you must be in business,(or crazy) and it is cheaper to have you not pay taxes then put you in a mental hospital and have to pay for your care. LOL!

THE WISE MAN ONCE SAID

FOR 10000 DOLLARS YOU WILL GET A TOP HOUND THAT YOU FEEL HAS THE CHANCE TO WIN ANY WHERE YOU WANT TO GO CONSISTANTLY TREES COONS AND WILL GET 90% OR BETTER FIRST TREES MY DOG COST 12500 AFTER NEGOTIATING A DEAL TO BRING THE PRICE DOWN FROM 20000 AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PLEASED BY ANYTHING IN MY LIFE AND I FEEL THAT I HAVE A LITTLE MORE THAN COMMON SENSE IN MY CORNER

A wise man once said a fool and his money are easily parted . I bet with some legwork you can find a dog as good or better for less money . I dont think people who try to buy their way to the top and pay other poeple to hunt their dogs or "fix" them when they screw them up , are really respected like they think they are when their big money dogs happen to win . Alot of us think it is funny when we draw you and beat you with our home raised worthless , fun to hunt dogs .

TO EVERYONE THAT THINKS ITS FOOLISH TO PAY BIG MONEY FOR A DOG

1 MONEY IS NO GOOD TO YOU AFTER YOUR GONE MIGHT AS WELL SPEND IT ON THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT BRING YOU JOY

2 THE ONES WHO HAVE PAID IT MUST NOT BE FOOLS BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE GOOD DECISIONS SOMETIME IN THEIR LIVES OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO EVEN CONSIDER A DOG FOR THIS PRICE

TO EACH HIS OWN IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HUNT DONT WORRY BOUT WHAT US "FOOLS"HUNT WE HAVE JUST LEARNED OVER TIME WE WONT BE SATISFIED WITH A COMMON DOG

so is that a no on the loan. i'd like to try and find a top leopard or plott to be different. but i figure there ain't none that good or worth that much. i don't have no problem trying to upgrade my walker dogs though. just pretty hard to come by that much expendable money for what i want. the banker just don't take kindly to me asking for a loan. i'm with you wise man. you only live once and it's just money. you make. you spend it. i just don't have enough of it.
