A lot of times dogs can be like this.... Geez-o-pete! I have a yorkie that is impossible! She is sooo moody and hateful with males while she is in heat.... I just take her to the vet to get her bred. It pays for its self when the puppies sale. I know what you are going through!

The best thing to do would be to get her spayed. There are so many unwanted puppies out there, that unless your min-pin was a perfect example of the breed, then I wouldn't breed her. A responsible breeder never lets a puppy go without a home, even if it means taking back a dog when it's new owners don't want it anymore. It means making potential owners prove that they are responsible by filling out an application and providing vet references. In short, it's a whole lot of work. Better to enjoy your dog, and not worry about breeding her. Also, unspayed dogs have a much higher risk of uterine cancers.
Hope this helps!

Okay... I'm going to spare you the usual speech. You know you still have a lot to learn here... right? What I *will* strongly suggest, on top of doing all that the previous posters have mentioned, is to make sure you have homes for all of the puppies *before* you ever produce a litter. Get a waiting list built up of people who will make a deposit (and therefore, a commitment,) to purchasing one of your puppies. Even if she passes all of her certifications and tests, and if the stud also passes, *still* do not produce a litter unless you have a list. It's the only way to be sure you won't have unwanted puppies.
Also, educate yourself well on the medical needs of a breeding female, including whether or not she will need special care, food, or C-sections, etc. Educate yourself about the breed, and know what problems you could be creating in the puppies! Talk to other breeders of your breed, and learn the strategies, bloodlines, practices, etc, and if you can, get one of them to mentor you!
Dog-breeding is an incredibly difficult, heart-breaking, and *very* expensive job, if you intend to do it well... Often, you lose puppies and even the female herself because of the rigors and complications of the birthing process. There is an endless amount of testing, research, and hard work to be done *before you ever* get right down to producing a litter! And that's when the REAL lessons begin...
It is a stressful, sleepless existence if you truly care about your dogs. Expect to lose all of your friends, as well as your entire social life. Expect to be broke. Expect to spend hours upon hours, if not days upon days, laying next to a sick dog, or a dog in labor, waiting and *praying* that nothing goes wrong. Expect to spend thousands of dollars a year, just on your breeding dogs, and even more on the puppies before they go to their new homes! Oh, and expect it to really, really *hurt* when your female encounters a problem during labor and she does not survive, taking all of the puppies with her...
You have all of this to consider *besides* making sure she fits the breed standard, is perfectly healthy and free of genetic conditions, finding out what health certifications are necessary for the breed, *and* being sure she has the proper temperament... It is not a job for everyone, believe me. Good dog breeders are fairly well off their rockers and usually completely neurotic about their breed and their own dogs... ;)

My mom use to breed Doberman Pinschers with no problems, just make sure that the female is in heat. Introduce her to a male and see what happends. Allow growling and nipping as long as it's not too rough. It usually happends. If they start to fight, just seperate them and try another time. Since you have a min-pin you won't have too much to worry about since they are alot smaller than Doberman Pinschers.

Sweetie, when your little girl comes into heat; ALL the boys will love her !!
You will have male dogs come to your house from MILES away..they will only be aggressive with each other; fighting over "Who's next ?? "
She may fight them off in the beginning of her heat; because she KNOWS she's not ready....it's when YOU think she's "over it"; that she'll "hold" for anydoggie, and EVERYdoggie, no matter what size they are; so unless you are ready to supervise her EVERY outdoor jaunt with a baseball bat ( literally ) ...get her spayed. Make life easier for BOTH of you.
I used to run a kennel; and had a big mongrel "tie" with a purebred ***** THRU 2 TWO rows of chain link fencing that were set 6 inches apart !! She backed up to the fence and he got her. Tha damndest thing I've ever seen. So DON'T depend on a fenced in pen with a top ....

What showing have you done with her? What titles has she won? What registry is she with? What genetic tests have you had done for her that need to be done for her breed? And just what is a "Min Pin Doberman" anyway? Is she a Miniature Pinscher, or a Doberman?
Yes. Get her spayed.

I am a Bona Fide breeder. I have three kids of my own.
Now about this little betch of yours. Breed her. Even pampered ,spoilt little lap dogs need their jollys too you know.
I suggest for maximum enjoyment and fulfillment you borrow somebodys Great dane. Just leave them alone for a while when the little betch is in heat, and somehow nature will take over. It's no big deal.
Aterwards you will find she is much more relaxed and even tempered.
At least that's what happens with my missus, and she's a little betch too.
