My opinion..it is not what someone is willing pay,but rather how much you are willing to accept..I have paid $100.00 to $300.00 for as good or better breeding..

it depends if it is runing or not. if it is running about $300.00 to $600.00. would be a good price. just me though

Think about this way........... An eight week old AKC pup will run you $75.00 to $300.00 on average. I know of some pups going for $600.00 at eight weeks. Anyways, if a pup is worth say $200.00 at eight weeks, and someone has taken the time and expense to raise this pup and start it to a point you can see potential in it, then $400-$600. would easily be a fair investment. Atleast you can see a started pup run and see the potential instead of hoping an 8 week old would turn out.

Depends on alot of factors but as a standard rule i wouldn't pay over $300 I recently bought a well bred LP hound (MSMM and Shaker blood ) . 2 years old with a placing that can flat out run for 7 hours plus , i get tired out before he does. for $600 it was a steal ..I have also purchased last year a Larsen breed top and bottom hound that was 12 months running his own track ...for 250 and that hound turned out awesome but took me taking him out alot . so i doubt this helps haha but there are some deals out there ..and i did alot of looking and talking to guys before i purchased

I think what ever you are willing to pay for the pup and what is worth to you, is what it is going to cost you. I would say 200 to 400 for a 8 week old pup is what I would pay. Depends if I was interested in the cross or not.

$300 TO $800 DEPENDING ON HOW GOOD THE PUP IS AND HOW WELL BRED THE PUP IS

BASICLY WHEN U BUY A STARTED DOG U ARE PAYING FOR WORK THAT U DO NOT HAVE TO DO !!! SO IN MY OPINON IT DEPENDS ON WHAT U WANT

REMEBER U GET WHAT U PAY FOR
