i have also have four dogs that are not full bred and are just mutts that i picked off the road .

i am planning on keeping the pups on a my farm which has plenty of space for this breed.

Answer 1

*sighs* I really hate it when people add responses about how many dogs get put down and don't answer the question at hand - it's the stupid owners who dump their dogs at shelters, breeders are not to blame for the stupidity of other people, nor should they stop breeding dogs just because of the dogs dumped in shelters!!!! REPUTABLE breeders only breed dogs when they need a new show dog, which means one litter per year, maybe two - and it's always to improve the breed of dog itself. They are not back yard breeders who churn out puppies like they are going out of style!!! Sheesh!!

Okay, getting off my high horse now :D

Stud fees could be money however some breeders will accept a pup as payment, dependent on their circumstances. If you are wishing to pursue this, I would recommend getting in contact with a few breeders for the huskies, and ask some questions - they will be more than happy to provide advice.

Answer 2

Please do not breed unless you know what you are doing, have done the research and have a female that is 100% healthy and has been checked by a vet and cleared of gentic disorders. Only breed to better the breed of dog not just to make a quick buck off of puppies please. There are way to many husky and husky mix puppies and dogs sitting in shelters (some kill shelters) right now.

As for the Stud it depends on the owner of the Stud. Some put they want money and first pick of the litter. Others only want the money and yet others want first pick but no money. Some are very picky about who they will stud their dog too because if they have a show quality dog they are gonna want a show quality litter to born from it. Breeders that do it for the showing of the breeds charge more for Show quality and less for family pets as they don't put as much into them. I believe Huskys are between $500-$800 but not sure about your local area. It would also depend (or should) on how much vet care you put into them and the mother, how much paperwork is done and if you give papers for showing. Do lots of research before making a decision and talk to other breeders (not backyard but real breeders).

Answer 3

Hey, I have 3 rescues that are mixed, but I have nothing against purebreds. Anyway, I'd advise asking for a stud fee equivalent to the price of one pup. Some may have stud fee for less than that, I wouldn't go more. Sometimes complications arise when you offer pick of litter (the norm other option to stud fee) and that might not sit right with you once the pups are there. Also, people sometimes change their minds or can say they were offered MORE. So, if you go with stud fee you won't have to worry about them any more. Just be sure to get a receipt from them showing you have PAID IN FULL- STUD FEE.
If they are HONEST people, they won't mind being asked for this.
In fact, they will expect it.
Good luck with your mother dog and pups to be.
Some people don't realize that a pregnant dog needs a quality puppy food during their pregnancy and while nursing their pups. The reason for this is they have increased need for fat and protein which the puppy food provides.

Answer 4

It is anything but easy unless you want to be an unscrupulous back yard breeder who does not care about the health of their dogs or their pups. The only reason to breed is to improve the breed. This means you have to start with high quality breeding stock. The lineage of both dam and sire need to have all health certifications available to be seen, not just be told yeah, their healthy. Breeding stock need be certified; eyes, hips, shoulders, elbows, etc, etc, etc... a bunch more that I cannot remember. Females should not be bred until they are about 2 years old so they are physically mature. To breed on the first heat is equal to a 12 year old girl getting pregnant. Females being readied to breed need to be on a special diet and supplements for a minimum of 6 months prior to breeding. Pregnancy also requires special diet and supplements with frequent vet visits. Pups should be kept with the mother for a MINIMUM of 8 weeks, preferably 10 to 12 as the mother not only feeds the pups but helps to teach them proper puppy etiquette. Reputable breeders have buyers lined up before the litter is born, having already done a home inspection of prospective buyers. Contracts are drawn up that require buyers to return any purchased pup to them if the buyer for whatever reason needs/wants to get rid of the dog whether it has been 2 weeks or 10 years. Reputable breeders do not really make money on their pups, although it may seem so because of what they charge. You need to consider the cost they incur. The annual cost of just keeping a dog, keeping it healthy with regular vet visits, regular flea/tick preventatives, dental, quality food, etc... is at the _very_ least $1000.00. That is just for a small pet, not a breeder. A pregnancy can cost several times that. Reputable breeders do it for the love of the breed, not for money.

If you want to be a b.y.b., it is cheap when it comes to money, but expensive when it comes to the toll taken on poorly bred dogs and on the b.y.b.'s soul.

Go to your local animal shelter and see how many dogs are thrown away daily. In the US alone, we euthanize 2 dogs every 3 seconds, that is 13,698 per day, or 5 million per year. We do not need another breeder.

Answer 5

If you want to breed it with a full breed, Siberian Huskies can cost(From a shelter or Online) they can cost the range from $100 to $2,500. If ou want a mutt ( a dog that you don't know who the father is) then they cost the range from $20 to $50 dollars.

A person would rather want money. If they took the puppy, they would still have to take care of the puppy and that costs money, but money doesn't have to be taken care of. (Fed, bred, you know).

Answer 6

Each breeder is different. Some like a (pick of the litter) where as some breeders prefer a stud fee. I have been on both ends. I usually asked for a $500.00 stud fee or the amount of 1 puppy. I also required the female to have a certain criteria. I also asked for her to have her hips and eyes certified. The best bet is to talk to the breeder and ask them what their terms are. Good luck!

Answer 7

Every stud dog owner is different but rule of thumb is Pick of the litter or worth $ of one of the pups depending on bloodline(champ, ace ,etc.) Either way do not breed the dog unless you have papers WITH a good blood line! Research

Answer 8

If you are inquiring about breeding dogs on a site like Yahoo! Answers, you probably shouldn't be breeding anything, really. Thanks to BYBs, unwanted pets get put down in alarming numbers in this society where anything/everything's disposable.

Spaying & neutering save lives. Leaving breeding to the pros.

Answer 9

GO TO akc.org this is the american kennel club. go to your breed, and there you will find a listing of breeders.
i am assuming that you pet is full blooded and registered with akc.
the breeder usually takes pick of the liter.
god bless you.

this page should answer most of your questions, and for the price of puppies check local newspaper ads for your breed of puppy prices and if your puppies have higher or lower qualities then higher or lower the price.
