my sister has a pug that is 7 months old. how old does he heave to be to breed? how much to charge to stud him

Question

If you don't know the answer, then don't reply. mind your own business. my sister can do what she wants, she bought the dog...not you. you are just mad cuz you can't afford a pug!

I really don't care what you people say or think cuz Pugs are very popular where I live. Jealousy will get you no where.

It isn't about the money at all. If I wanted to talk to a breeder I could, but I wanted some opinions from people out here. My husband works for pet products distributor, so if I really wanted to talk to a professional I would.

Answer 1

No dog should be used as a stud until he is 2 yrs. of age. Should also be tested to see if he up to the standard of a pug to be bred.

Answer 2

If you're serious about breeding this dog, then you need to do a lot of research. You need to find books on the subject or talk to a professional breeder. A veterinarian would also be a good source of info. You need to have the dog checked out by a vet, anyway, to make sure he's fit (physically and genetically) for breeding. Pugs carry a lot of hereditary problems. You need to be really careful about this sort of thing. Do you know the puppy's parents' health histories? If not, and you can't find out, then DON'T breed this dog.
Also, I think with pugs, you want to be careful with the size of the female you breed to. She can't be very much smaller than the male, otherwise there could be complications with the birth.
No offense, but it sounds like you're main interest is in the money, you need to be focused on the dogs. For serious breeders, the goal should be to improve the breed, not just to make an extra buck.

Answer 3

Don't breed or buy while shelter animals die.
Even purebreeds show up at shelters everyday. There are too many dogs in this world. Even your precious Pugs.
Call a shelter or breed rescue and ask if you don't believe me.
Please have him neutered. It's the best thing for him, he will make a better pet, and be happier and healthier.

EDIT
I can afford a pug. One from a reputable breeder, not some back yard breeder who is only in it for the money. I would never buy from someone like you who cares nothing for the breed or her dog.

Answer 4

Most male dogs testicles will drop any where from 7 to 9 months old but they are still not sexually mature until 11/2 to 2 yrs.. That of course is a rough estimate all dogs are not the same.

Answer 5

(1) Finish him to his AKC Championship (CH)
Your opinion as to whether the measures up to the breed standard isn't good enough. Everyone thinks his doggy is perfect and if you haven't shown that breed, you really don't know how the breed standard is interpeted in the ring and by the Breed Club.


(2) Have all the health exams done after he is two years old
OFA hips, OFA elbows, OFA patella, CERF eyes, thyroid - in pugs whose owners do all this for breeding and because they care about the puppies they produce, 2 out of 3 pugs have a hereditary malformation of the hips and elbows and DON’T pass the health checks. 1 out of 3 has an abnormal thyroid. 1 in 10 has an abnormal patella (causes lameness) They may not be lame, you may not be able to tell but they do have the problem and it can cause trouble later and it will pass on to the puppies.

And these are largely dogs whose families have been screened for generations and those with the problems bot bred and the problems are still showing up because they are recessive genes.

If he aren't Excellent or Good on the exams, he doesn't cut it.
Exams can't be done until he is 2 years old Total cost about $600

Having an AKC registration doesn't mean diddlly in terms of his quality. Just means that he has a birth certificate and you can track his family. No AKC registration makes him not a member of his breed.


Stud fee value of a dog is based upon (1) his AKC titles his pedigree (fewer AKC CH, lower value), his AKC show record and annual standing in the his breed, passing all health checks (if not pass, value is automatically 0 because he will be transmitting a hereditary health problem) and (2) size of the usual litter in a breed - some breeds only have 1-3 in a litter, some have 8-10.

Remember the owner of the litter will be spending at minimum $200 -400 for the extra care for the female - and if she needs a c-section (very common in this breed) tack on another $500 -750. then there will be about $150-200 invested in each puppy with worming, shots and as I recall doing the tail.

Top flight show puppies from extremely successful show families can go as high as $1000 -2000 with mom and dad having all the titles and health checks

A pet puppy in the same litter would be $400-500.

Based upon a litter of 1-3 (typical in Pugs and they often need a c-section)

(1) With AKC CH, campaigned in Specials, qualifying for and winning at Westminster, having a family of ancestors that all did the same, passing all health exams = $500 -750

(2) With AKC, CH, shown as Specials but doesn't do well or having mediocre family without many titles, but passing all health checks = 250 -350

(3) Only part of AKC Championship done, excellent family with dam/sire Westminster winners = 350 -500

(4) Only part of AKC Championship done, family show record average -poor = 100 -125

(4) No AKC championship points - never shown but excellent family with every generation titled = 250 - 350

(5) No AKC points, no or few (less than 75%) in immediate family with AKC CH = 50 -75


By the way fees are traditionally, no litter, no fee.

Without the illustrious family tree of over 80% Championships and the dog having a Championship, not one single breeder who raises and shows your breed will have anything to do with you. The only bookings you will get will be random pet owners.

Sorry but that is the truth. At my feet is my two year old (in a breed with usually 8 in a litter) whose sire commands the top fee of $1500 but has won Westminster in his breed 2 years running, has Championships in US & Canada, has sired dogs who have earned their CH, whose full sister was No 10 of all breeds in the US in the dog show rankings and finished in the top 6 at Westminster, whose dam was No 1 in the breed in showing for 4 years and finished in the top 6 at Westminster, whose sire was the No 1 in the dog show breed rankings for 6 years and the No 1 sire of dog show champions in the breed for 8 years, and he passed 7 health exams for hereditary conditions all with an excellent

Answer 6

There's enough stray dogs and cats out there already, why not leave the dog breeding to the professionals and enjoy your pet for the love and companionship he will provide, not as a method of puppy making. "Help control the pet population, have your pet spayed or neutered" --Bob Barker

Answer 7

All dogs start mating from 8 months to a year, you can make out that a dog is ready (generally) when he starts lifting his leg to urinate.

The charges will vary depending on the Pedigree of your dog and how good he is (ie with the specifications of the breed). Normally it ranges between Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 or the pick of the litter.

Before you permit the dog to mate please ensure that the pedigree of the female has been checked (specially when you opt for the pick of the litter). The female should be brought to the house of the sire and some one should be at hand to supervise the mating.rr>

Answer 8

That is just mean. Get this dog fixed now!!! Would you want to be forced to be pregnant and have puppies? There are soooo many unwanted dogs as it is, don't add to that by breeding. It is not responsible pet ownership to breed animals.

Answer 9

NOBODY w/more than 3 brain cells will EVER want to use somebody's POS *PET* when there are THOUSANDS of TOP QUALITY CHAMPION dogs available!!! *&* that AREN'T owned by IDIOTS!!!
