WHAT DO DOGS COST?
A shooter’s companion, a best friend, our dogs are amazing creatures. Some of them are also worth a lot of money. In 2013, a sheepdog sold for £9,240, and in May this year another sold for just under £15,000 at an auction in Skipton. Guard dogs and protection dogs are in a different league altogether, according to Matt Wiggins from Staff ordshire-based WKD Trained Dogs, which trains, supplies and breeds family and working dogs. “They range from anywhere between £2,000 and £40,000, depending on a client’s requirements,” he said. “We train a lot of dogs to be family pets, and this usually takes us about six weeks. Many of our clients are country people, but not necessarily devoted to fi eldsports. We buy a lot of failed gundog breeds because those that do not have the drive to hunt and fi nd game make the ideal family pet.
