Any rumours what the large sum was

The figure I heard was £20000.

That would take some turning down by anyone for a dog.

someone must think he's worth it tho, it's a hell of a lot of money unless you're pretty sure about the dog!

40-50 litters/matings £'s . He's already sired 6 litters at 2 and a half. His sire has sired 14 litters 6 years old.

He would need to cover 50 bitches @ £400 to return the £20000.
It's a seriouse amount of money to pay isn't it....
Would be interesting to know what the most anyone has ever paid for a dog or bitch and if it made them money in the end.

Too right. These guys are no mugs though. On both sides.

I paid 300 quid for a dog I have that was born in the same year & month as HK. I've had near 2k back. That said, he's cost me in grub, heating, tick & flea, he's probably knocked 3 years off my life expectancy. He still owes me, & I tell him every morning!

Of course.
Business is business isn't it. If they didn't make money by doing it they wouldn't pay top top buck for these dogs would they!

Who knows what was paid at the end of the day but these guys know their own business & their business is nothing to do with me.
