How much do Min Pin pups go for?

A min pin is a Miniature Pinscher..

Most of my dogs in my life came from BYBs and Puppymills. I've seen the problems they can have and how sometiems it affects them at old age and some at young. My old GSD, Hannah, was put down due to aggression, turns out her WHOLE litter including her mother, was also put down due to aggression. My other GSD, Simon, was pretty aggressive as well. But he was also very family oriented unlike Hannah and we could control him. He also had bad hip problems in his old age as GSDs are prone to Hip Dysplasia I believe.
My old poodle, Alex, he is terrified of everything due to lack of socialization as a puppy. Takes him a very long time to get used to something otherwise he's pretty much scared of everything. His new owner now, says he just enjoys being in the house all the time. I have more but no time to talk about them.

BYBs shouldn't exist and I think it's rediculous when people are breeding for the "extra buck". If you can't afford the animals it's about time you start thinking about maybe rehoming a few, you shouldn't take in more if you can't handle them all.

I agree,If you think that breeding is going to put money in your pocket you are wrong!

I see from horse_lover's profile that he is only 13. This person and his sister need to learn what we all have about the plight of dogs and cats.

I certainly hope that the dogs are not bred. But I think we need to educate both of these people, not condemn them.

Until you have worked with a shelter or have done rescue work yourself, you really can't understand how bad the problem is. At 13, shelters won't let you volunteer. But visiting a couple of animal control places might give a hint of the problems.

Puppies are cute. They are also a lot of work and expense. Please try to get your sister to rethink this.

Okay, lighten up here...
1: These 'rude' people know A LOT more about breeding that you, or your friend know about breeding dogs.

2: They ARE NOT being rude to you! They are simply trying to HELP YOU.

Grow up a little, hon.

i think ur sister should leave the breedin to the ppl who know what there doin, i have a breeder that i went to for all four of my chihuahua's. she is trustable offers a 1 year health guarntee and all 4 of my dogs have papers and yes they might be pure bred. but not all 4 might be 100% up to the UKC stranded since mine are ukc not akc. but anyway u need to know what ur doin, not just lovin ur dog and trainin it but more than that. if she needs money look for it in oher places and get her dogs fixed.

I'm glad to see support for not breeding just because you can. I cry every time I walk into a shelter and see all those animals that need homes.

This forum is very big on supporting rescues.

horse_lover, while we know this isn't your fault or your idea, the reaction you got was because there are many on this board who wind up dealing with poorly bred animals who wind up in shelters after the newness of having a puppy wears off.

Okay then..Umm..Wow is all I have to say.

I don't know much about breedings dogs but I know the difference from a BYB from a reputable breeder.

*sigh* You still defend your sister, cousin whatever she is to you; after you've heard and seen all the min pins up for adoption. Have fun breeding your dog and getting like $5 in profit while 10 other min pins die in the shelter :D *end sarcasm*

Seriously though, if you were a reputable breeder and did all the tests like you are supposed to do (I don't even know, but some other PTers have listed them) then I'm sure you won't get any profit at all! Whatever, doubt you're going to listen to me or any of us.

I guess you won't get it through your thick skull that no matter what you think, your sister(or cousin) is a BYB. Sorry if I'm rude, but it's the truth!

This is the number of Mini pin dogs in my area in shelters ALONE.

1130

Yeah, that's alot just for 1 dog breed.:eek:

Guys, enough with the troll comments.

I've had PM conversations with the OP before, and she is young, but NOT a troll.

Can it.

Alright, LH, I understand. Post edited. Sorry for anyone offended, I mistakenly thought this thread was a trolling attempt.

I get your point now. I guess i never really understood anything and how the animals are dying in shelters. I've actually never been to a shelter or a humane society or anything. My cousin isn't breeding him. I guess her friend or neighbor or someone wanted to know. Just thought i'd let everyone know that. I talked to her and she said she doesn't want to breed him. she never did. I was the one who had it wrong.
