dog breeding?

Question

I have a teacup poodle (female) and I am interested in breeding.
I really love this breed because they are very intelligent and hypo-allergenic. Where do I begin with the breeding process?

Answer 1

Here is a website that has a frank outlook on whether to breed your dog or not.

Answer 2

First there is NO such thing as a "teacup" Poodle."Teacup" is a sales tactic that irresponsible breeders use to sell puppies that were bred smaller then the Toy Poodle breed standard allows or in order to sell the runts in a litter. Dogs bred smaller then the standard allows often suffer serious health issues..heart, liver, kidney..as a result of this type of irresponsible breeding. Breeding puppies this small is very dangerous and often results in emergency c-sections, stillborn pups and even death to the mother. Please do NOT consider breeding a dog that is smaller then the breed standard..it is unsafe for her plus it is NOT breeding for the improvement of the breed or the breed standard. Also before breeding a dog must be 2 years old and have passed health tests (not just simple vet exams), have an impeccible pedigree and have something of value to add back to and improve the breed. Anything less is irresponsible breeding.

Answer 3

Ask your vet about breeding. Ask him/her if there are any other teacup poodle males that can breed. If they are any people in your neighbor hood or town that the vet recomended then find their number and you can breed! I have a standard poodle ( male ) who was breeded. They female family found us through the vet. We sold the puppies for 700 dollers ( because both parents were 1000 ) Hope everything works out!

Answer 4

The fact that there is no such thing as "teacup poodles" alerts me to the fact that you are not knowledgable about the breed. Poodles come in toy, minature, and standard sizes.

The breeding of dogs is not to be taken lightly. First of all, you should ask yourself why you would like to breed your dog. Would breeding your dog be beneficial to the breed? To honestly know if our dog will help improve the breed, you must first be very familiar with the breed standard. Otherwise, how will we know what we are striving for? Another way to evaluate your dog's physical quality is by showing it in conformation. Gaining a championship is not necessarily proof that a dog is of good quality, but if your dog consistently doesn't win, perhaps there is a real reason.

Another consideration is genetics. Evaluating quality looks on the outside, genetics looks on the inside. Your dog should be tested for genetic diseases/defects common with it's breed and determined to be free of them. Temperament is also an extremely important issue in breeding dogs. Though a dog's temperament can be affected by its environment, temperament is largely inherited.

Your dog's health is also of vital importance. Have your veterinarian give your dog a thorough health exam before breeding. Make sure the dog's vaccinations, heartworm checks, and wormings are up to date. Breeding a female dog makes a large demand on her body. Be sure she is in excellent health and physical condition.

Age is also important. All dogs need to have the chance to grow up mentally and physically before they are bred. It is best to wait until after age two.

Answer 5

Well, if you were to be a GOOD breeder and not a BYB, you would not start with a "teacup" anything. They are not the "standard" for the breed and prone to health, breeding, and whelping problems.
You get a toy poodle that is SHOW/BREEDING quality and show the dog...or at least make sure it is a good example of the breed. Then, get the health clearances and THEN worry about breeding.

Gee syrag...it ALL relates!!!!! Go peddle your IGNORANCE elsewhere!!!!

Answer 6

It costs a bit of money and lots of time to be a responsible breeder. You have to be prepared to leave work or school at a moments notice to care for her or the puppies. You have to be prepared for huge vet bills to get the puppies vaccinated and checked out after birth and potentially taking her in for surgery to have said puppies.

Ideally you should have a registered male that has the best traits of the breed to cover her but that might not be a possiblility as they cost quite a bit of money to arrange, usually want the pick of the litter and might be refused to you because your's isn't anything special to speak of and has no proven track record.

In all honesty, you shouldn't breed her.

Answer 7

First ask yourself a few questions:
If she needs a C section (very common in small dogs) will you be able to come up with $1-2000 on the night she is delivering?

If she won't nurse the pups, do you have time to stay home from work to bottle feed them?

Will you be able to sell the puppies, or will you fall in love with them and keep them? If you do, can you afford the needed health care?

Which is more important to you-- having this dog, or having her puppies? If having her is more important, get her spayed now. If you are willing to risk her life having puppies, make sure all her vaccines are current so she will pass good levels of antibodies to the pups, then start looking for a stud. Most people either breed their own, or alter them to make them better pets, so you may have to buy your own stud dog. Most good breeders require a negative brucellosis test, which your vet can perform.

Good Luck!!

Answer 8

first, find a stud that has good qualities of the poodles. You should find one close by (if you don't really like taking long trips) that is AKC registered. Then, call the breeder and tell them your plan. ALWAYS go up to see the stud in real life. Then see how it works out. Keep doing this until you find your dog's perfect match! Good luck!
