They run a combination of older dogs and younger dogs. The old dogs teach the young dogs more than they do about what they need to do. They have different barks and howls to indicate different pick ups etc.
I know a guy that breeds high end walkers. He's getting somewhere between $16-30k per pup.
Different application....but last spring I wandered into a livestock auction that was showing working dogs. A heeler there went for $42k....crazy.
The guy that bought it said....I can pay $40k for a dog.....spend way less on food and lodging and have it for 10 years and get at least 1 man's work out it, probably closer to 2.......or....I can pay $40k per cowboy and spend a helluva lot more on food and lodging (usually paid for by the rancher on outpost operations).
