True. Buyers buy. Most that try are there to go hunting. They pick dog apart and on their way. When I try a dog I am looking for every fault it has. When I buy a dog I have to find the good points. When trying buyers remorse sets in,they have to justify the purchase and then compare it to Spot of 30 years ago.
I wouldn't try a $500 dog nor a $5000 dog. My method is not right. I buy it then live with my decision and do not ask for a pity party if I get screwed.
But,in my world,I don't think you get much of a coon dog for $500-$1500. So,I don't look there. I think you get what you buy.
If you going to by a dog to win with don't by off a hard competitor. If it could win big time they would keep it.
Don't go to try a $1000 dog thinking it's going to be a $5000 dog when you get there. Those deals are very few and far between.
What always got me about buying dogs is there can be a very good local dog for sale but a guy rather drive 9 hours to get one somewhere else.
If there a good dog in your area buy it.
I don't mind showing any dog I sale. I will take less off chain usually because I don't want to hassle with meeting,going hunting,hearing about all dogs of past,dog look like a dog,or dog look good and then hear bs excuse of why he don't suit or maybe one just decided they don't need a dog. My time is worth more to me.
I have been in sales my whole life. I will always believe this statement buyers buy,lookers try
