Neil Down Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Having discussed the pros and cons of getting a puppy since our old dog passed away, Mrs D and myself thought now is the right time. Having checked the various reputable sites, now is definitely not the right time. Pre-corona lockdown, puppies were between £500 and £800. Same breeds are now going for £1000 to £2000. Good time to be a dog breeder then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 On the other hand, a lot of fresh produce is much reduced in price at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I agree. My dogs local produce has dropped in price too, but I cannot give it away - even when wrapped and left on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
