How much do Min Pin pups go for?

[horse_lover]

She also took Oliver from my other cousin who was going to bring him to a Humane Society!

I agree with Orangutango. she needs to neuter him.. why doesn't she get a second job rather than breeding her dog for money? you asking how much she could get for the pups says it all. we don't need anymore dogs in this world.. not everyone is going to want a min pin.

[horse_lover]

Because she needs the money first!

she CAN get a second job it's not that hard. ugh I am not going to say anymore. sure she loves him enough to breed him just to get money.

No you have it all wrong! He is a pure bred min pin! No I don't know exactly why she wants to breed him but she does!

Even AKC will tell you that being a pure bred with papers does'nt mean the dog is healthy or meets it's breed standard.

[horse_lover]

He's been tested already for everything and he has all of his shots

there are Miniature Pinscher 1139 on petfinder for ADOPTION and that are homeless. see for yourself.

it doesn't matter if he's purebred. there are SO many dogs out there needing homes that are pure bred already and she would just be adding to the problem.

I volunteer for an animal shelter and I am not trying to be rude but I am saying how it is. no way in heck do I ever agree someone breeding their dog for money and nothing more. I bet you if she breeds her dogs, some of them will end up at the shelter..

when they're not pups anymore. not everyone likes min pins and there's enough HOMELESS ones at it is that are pure bred.


Never would I breed, ever and this is something I can say NEVER about and I would NEVER buy from a breeder no matter how responsible the breeder is. I know about the pet overpopulation problem and how many homeless animals are out there.

do you even know about the pet overpopulation problem? you keep on saying he's purebred.. that doesn't make any difference. she may love him but she doesn't need to breed him for money.

it's just so, so very wrong. she can get a second job rather than breeding him but I bet I am just wasting my time typing this.

she is just going to make the people's job harder that work with shelters and rescues like me finding homes for pups that nobody wants in the future because they aren't pups anymore.

I am sorry if you think we are coming off rude, but really I don't care if that is what I am for fighting for the rights of animals. I too volunteer at a shelter and it breaks my heart and all the unwanted animals are from folks like you so frankly in this battle you are the enemy, can't really sugar coat it.

ok. If her min pin is a purebred, then he has papers from the breeder, right? The breeder he came from would have an idea of what to charge - maybe look on the breeder's web site. Or any Min Pin breeder's site.

If he doesn't have papers or any proof of where he was bred - unfortunately, people just aren't going to believe that he is purebred, unless he has the registration papers.

And if your sister doesn't know what breeder he came from, and can't contact them...it's going to be difficult for her to prove also. It depends on how fussy the customers are, of course. But she won't be able to ask as high a price.

And without papers, this type of breeding is called "backyard" - meaning nonprofessional, NOT unprofessional.

Horselover...what people get upset about is the fact that we will never run out of cats and dogs in Canada or the USA. There are wonderful pets - including purebreds, I might add - that are in shelters and die by injection or gassing every day because there is just no home for them.

Of course your sister needs money, I don't doubt that for a minute. But selling pups will give her just a chunk of money that won't last very long...she needs something more reliable and permanent for income. I mean - God forbid, but what if one or more of the pups is stillborn?

It sounds like 'desperation' money and I understand...but even if that dog was bred today, she'd be without money for another four months, including pregnancy and how soon they can go to a new home. And they will have to have had at least one set of vaccinations. That can get expensive.

I hope she can find a better money solution for herself.

I know you are trying to help her...but think about how short-lived this income would be, and how long she would have to wait for it.

Like others here, I am suggesting not adding to dog overpopulation. I hope she can find some work soon, or even a barter arrangement of some kind. When she has some money - get the dogs neutered/spayed.

There are enough dogs...and she won't get rich from this.

Take care.

No you have it all wrong! He is a pure bred min pin! No I don't know exactly why she wants to breed him but she does!

...And your point is?? My dog is purebred, but if he's from a backyard breeder he doesn't meet the breed standard. Just because he's purebred doesn't mean he matches AKC standards. No one ever said your cousin was mean and uncaring. Your the one who basically said she was breeding her dog for money. A little money would help? If she can't pay for the horses with just the job she has then why does she have them? This thread is all a bunch of rubbish lies to me.

[Zippy]

I agree with what everone has said.If Oliver has never be shown and doesn't meet the breed standard.He shouldn't be breed.Plus there are so many dogs without home already why add to it.

[bckrazy]

Your other cousin was going to dump the poor pup in a shelter?

Weell, that is exactly why the little guy does NOT need to be reproducing! Because there are tons of unwanted dogs in this country, therefore logically, only dogs that have proven themselves in conformation, working, and health tests need to be reproducing. If you aren't breeding to actually improve the breed - not for financial gain - you are just adding to a terrible overpopulation problem. Dogs are companions, not money-making machines!
