How much do Min Pin pups go for?

[horse_lover]

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

[Karen]

What does "everything" mean? What exactly has he been tested for? Has her other dog - the one in heat - also been tested and certified?

[horse_lover]

I guess everything for breeding. She took him to the vet to see if it was safe for breeding him

[caseysmom]

I suspect that the testing part is not true, sorry I just have a hard time believing that, if she was savvy enough to have the dog tested for everything she would know "how much they go for"

I am going to zip it but I certainly hope she doesn't add to the pet over populations problem

[horse_lover]

WEll you don't know anything! How would you know if she even asked them! You people are so rude!

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.

Does she even have good home picked out for the pups?? a good breeder has hmes all ready for the pups before they are even born! I am assuming if she is still trying to find out how much money she can get, she hasnt! Does she even realize how much money it costs to raise puppies?? True breeders dont make a profit on puppies, and they rarely even break even! Trying to produce puppies to make money, is a bad idea!! She will spend more than hse gets back!! Then what happens to the pups, if they dont sell?? where will they go?? does she have a plan for the birthing?? most small breeds have to have C-Sections, cause the pups rae usually too big to be born naturally! Does she have any idea how much this costs??

She is much better off getting a second job!!

Going to the vet for a "fit to breed" exam does not exist.

We mean:

Has her dog had its hips AND knees AND elbows x-rayed and sent to a board of specialists? I.E. Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and/or the University of Pennsylvania's Hip Improvement Program (PennHIP).

Has her dog had its eyes tested and cleared? I.E. Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) and/or Optigen?

Has her dog had an EKG to see if he has heart problems?

What about thyroid testing?

Breeding is not easy. It is not profitable. Unless, of course, you breed like your cousin intends to. Then, it is profitable. But you're introducing a litter of new, unnecessary lives into a heavily overpopulated world.

Please, for the good of dogs, ask your cousin to SPAY and NEUTER her dogs.

Okay, heres the thing I didn't say that it was called a fit to breed exam. She just wanted to make sure he didn't have diseases and stuff.

[horse_lover]

She's not at all like that. Hiow about you meet her fro yourself and talk to her!

[horse_lover]

She isn'ta stuck up person who want's her animals for money. Not at all!

Okay, heres the thing I didn't say that it was called a fit to breed exam. She just wanted to make sure he didn't have diseases and stuff.

You wont know unless you do all the test stated above and those would cost hundreds of dollars to do and send in.A vet can not tell just be looking at a dog.

[Giselle]

Like I said, the diseases cannot be detected in one vet exam. The vet x-rays, sends data off, and the results are sent back to your cousin after they've been analyzed by specialists.

ONE exam doesn't cut it. I'm sorry, but your cousin isn't breeding properly and the dogs need to be altered. If she needs to money, perhaps consider offering boarding? What about sponsorships? There are many many young riders who are seeking horses to sponsor.

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.
