what is a good price to sell my puppies for?

Question

my puuppies mom is a poodle and the dad is a chihuaha she had 5 of them and too many people want them what should i do and how much shlould i sell them for?

Answer 1

Well since they're mixes then you shouldn't charge as much as you would for a pure bread also it depends on their health if they're in good health then between 50 and 100 should be okay if they're in okay health then probably between 25 and 50 and if they're in poor health probably between free and 25. Hope this helps

Answer 2

First of all why are so many of these people so rude? I thought this was a place for people to feel free to ask questions about things they are unsure of. To bad alot of people are to busy bashing others that ask questions they don't like to remember that. Maybe you just wanted a litter of chi/poodle mixes that you plan to sell to responsible pet owners. Just because your puppies are not purebred does not mean they are going to end up in a shelter. Or maybe these people have forgotten that pretty much anything mixed with a poodle is the latest craze. There are magazines and books devoted to these "designer dogs". Not everyone has to have a purebred dog to be happy. Mixed breeds make great pets too. But regardless why do people feel the need to put everyone down and make them afraid to ask questions? How about if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. I'm pretty sure your question was not " Am I a backyard breeder and should I spay and neuter my dogs?"

Answer 3

Research on the internet to see if other people have the same 'problem'. With all the half-poodle breeds out there, you may get lucky! However, most people who sell puppies are breeders, and the moms and dads of the litter have pedigree bloodlines, or are even show ring champions! Most people will not shell out a lot of money for regular mutts with no 'quality heritage' in their background.

Make sure you research prospective owners! Make sure the puppy isn't just going to end up in a shelter somewhere, like so many unwanted dogs =(

I'd then go get the poodle and chihuahua fixed. There are too many homeless dogs, and dogs waiting to get euthanised (sp?) in shelters because people don't get their dogs fixed. So do yourself, and your dogs a favor - get them fixed.

Answer 4

You expect a 8-10 week old Border Collie mix to be potty trained???? It's a PUPPY. Were you out of diapers when you were 8-10 weeks old???? Did you get this puppy from a shelter? If so, you would have signed something that said that you were keep this dog for its lifetime. If you're now deciding you don't want it it needs to go back to the shelter. As for spaying - puppies and kittens can be spayed or neutered once they are eight weeks of age and two pounds in weight.

Answer 5

$5

Answer 6

How about you spay and neuter. Then find a good home for the puppies by asking specific questions, if you feel the person is right for your puppy then Money should not matter, it should be the type of home they are getting.
I have found that when a person is not in it for money they tend to sale them for lesser amounts of money but rather focus on who they sale to.I paid $400 for my dog and his parents are both grand champions from a very highly prized blood line, yet the breeder cared more where her dogs went then how much she made, she actually ended up not even breaking even in the end.
And again. SPAY AND NEUTER...... while your at it, check out all the dogs sentenced to die at your local pound. People are just tired of back yard breeders. what is your reason for breeding mutts anyway? Back yard breeders are the reason that my breed of choice is banned in many cities.

Answer 7

Charge between 150 and 250, depending on if they're males or females. You can't just give them away as others suggested, that does NOT ensure they get quality homes. There are many people looking for small, non-shedding puppies. Good luck.

Answer 8

First, get some background on prospective adoptees, to ensure your puppies will go to a decent home.
Since they are mixed breed, don't put a huge price tag on them.
If they have be updated on shots, then you should consider a small adoption fee.
If they haven't had their shots, been vet-checked, or checked for worms (or dewormed), then you really shouldn't ask for much, if any, money for these dogs, as they are not guaranteed healthy.

Answer 9

This isn't a full bred pet and it i very doubtful you will be able to sell any of these pets.Ask the people what price tey would be willing to give you for the pets.The most important thing is to make sure you're placing these pets in good homes where they won't end up in a local pound,or dog shelter.

Answer 10

I would simply charge what it costs for the vet care that was needed for them for worming and first shots. Im not about charging people for animals. If they are going to family and friends at least you will have the pleasure of knowing they are going to good homes and possibly see them when you visit. That would be payment enough for me!! Its not all about money.
