Is a minature pinscher and a boston terrier a good mix for new puppies? i have both of them dogs but not sure if those type of puppies would be able to sell or would it be considered a mutt?

They are so different in characteristics that they would likely be a mess..The Boston terrier is friendly and outgoing, easy to train, and great with kids. the Min Pin is a one person dog, not generally good with kids, and stubborn to train..
People like the Min Pin for their big dog attitude, and independence..People like the Bostie as a fun loving clownish good family pet..
You couldn't know which personality to expect from the offspring, so it would be hard to put them in the right homes..
If you are planning to cross breeds, you at least need to choose similar breeds, of similar needs, and personalities, so they can find the right homes.
If the female is the min pin, she would likely need to have a C-section to deliver the larger headed Bosties pups..this would at very least require an ultrasound at 55 days of pregnancy, to see if she canhave them without C-section, and C-sections run around $500..

Any mixed breed is a mutt. And even a purebred that isn't from a parent who's a champion is only as valuable as a dog at the shelter. Which is where the puppies will end up anyway without proper experience on your part. Breeding is a very big responsibility. You bring a life into the world and your responsible for the duration of that life.
Edit: I don't know what part of the country Chetco is in but C-sections here run $800 and up.

If they are registered animals, you would not want to breed them together as it can reduce the value of your current animals. If you are just breeding for pets, I would say no to that combination. Min-Pins have alot of health problems and being small boned can be injured easily, plus each breed might "hurt" the genetics of the other dog in their offspring.
If you are just looking for pets, get your two animals spayed and neutered and go down to the humane society, they will let you check out various animals to see which breed or all american (mutt) fits you and your families lifestyle. This will not only get you the exact number of animals you want, you wont be stuck trying to place, abandon or give up several more puppies that you wanted.

No why would you want to breed the two together. Breeding just to make money is not a reason to breed spay and neuter your dogs. There are enough mixed breeds to go around that can not find homes, don't add to the problem

the puppies would be classed as cross breeds because the parents are pure bred dogs if the female is the Boston you should be OK to breed but not a good idea the other way around as the Bostons head would be to big for the pincer to pass .....and please think about it before you do see if you have people that are likely to buy your puppies first....good luck

Are you a professional breeder? which one of the dog is the female? if not handled correctly the pregnant female may develop complications and die when giving birth because boston terrier puppies have heads too large for the mother. Please consult a vet and professional breeder. And for a definite yes - it'll be considered a MUTT.

Anything that is not papered and bred for improvement of the breed is a mutt.
DO NOT BREED YOUR ANIMALS. There are enough homeless animals in the world.
You may kill your MinPin trying to breed her to the terrier. Ugh why do people keep wanting to reinvent the wheel.?!
GOD creates, WE appreciate. Got it?

Of course they would be mutts.
If you are set on breeding, at least educate yourself and breed purebreds. We are not exactly having a big shortage of mutts.
