yes they are probs one of the most expensive dogs around but we have put a lot of thought into it and have been looking into it for the last 2 year,
we was going to get one earlyer in the year but found out our youngest was scared of dogs so have been working with her to get over it and she is now fine

One of my mates used to breed them. Raced them as well. His were trained to race so lets just say you wouldn't try and pet them

one you have bought the dog they dont cost that much to look after, they dont eat as much as other dogs their size and we will have it insure so if it gets ill or has an accident they wont be any costly vets bills, all in all they dont cost any more than any other dog the same size

I just remember seeing the 'average' price over a dogs life. The Husky was 30K - Doberman's were £35k and Jack russels were like 15k.

thy are not that expensive at all, only like 500-600 quid, thats fuck all for a pedigree dog. they are not really pet dogs, they need to be walked and worked, i doubt you could walk it the 10 miles a day it should be getting. people get them because they look ace, but they arent suited for pets, due to being awkward for a novice to train.
as for food, they need a good diet, not pedigree chum and bakers, they need proper dog kibble, like james wellbeloved and arden grange. why dont you get a grey hound instead?

just what i was going to say russ, they are a pedigree dog that needs the very best .
best thing to do is just do as much research on the net as possible, buy some books etc
