hello there!!
i'm near Toronto, Ontario. I have a 3 year old, 2.5lbs, not-registred chihuahua female and am looking to bvreed her for the first time, since having a litter of puppies will help to prolong a dogs life, etc, etc. Anyways, i'm wondering what are some common "regional" policies regarding this? I have come up with a few scenarios:
(1) little money up front and second choice of litter.
(2) stud fee up front
(3) half stud fee up front, then more when she is determined to be pregnant.
(4) first pick of litter. no stud fee's.
Maybe none of these are good policies, my concern with an upfront fee is then there is "nothing in it" for the stud owner to "assure" she becomes pregnant.
Would love any help or suggestions!!
Will asiign "BEST CHOICE" when quesiton is closed......ty

- At age three she is getting too old for litters, especially her first.
- At 2.5 pounds she may die, but if not she will need a c - section in order for her litter to be born.
If you have never bred a toy breed you need to really read up on these things. it certainly is nothing like having a big ol' female Lab. They do most of it themselves.
Toys are notoriously hard to breed and the kindest thing to do would be to have her spayed.
I know you may not like my answer, but I'm telling you the truth.
I know you must love your Chi and if you lost her you would be devastated.

Well, you have bought into some sort of total BS propaganda. Having a litter WILL NOT make your dog live a longer life. It may very well cut it short. Mammary cancer, pyometria, death during a c-section, and MANY pther complications can cause your dog to live quite a shorter life span.
Common practice:
I cahrge a NON-refundable deposit to use my stud dog. $300. This covers MY headache of dealing with the details, and assures he is available to that bit ch.
The bit ch is bred, usually three times. This might be done at her place or mine. It depends on the situation.
Within TWO weeks of the litter being whelped, as long as there is TWO live puppies born, the balance of the stud fee is due. If I were to be taking a puppy, the deposit is returned and I am entitled to first pick.
If there is no pregnancy, the deposit is not refunded, but the bit ch is entitled to a repeat breeding the next heat cycle, no other deposit due.
No pregnancy the second breeding??? too bad, must be the bit ch because my stud is proven and that is that. Deposit not returned.
All this is subject to MY situation. I have a proven stud, with all the health clearnaces,working titles and finished championship.
If the stud you are looking at lacks those things, the price is much lower.
Generally, the total stud fee is the price of a puppy. If that is $300, you may pay $50 deposit.
Of course, any medical expenses the bit ch pr puppies incur during the whelping or rearing, are YOURS. The stud owner never shares in those expenses.
If the puppies reach three weeks and then suddenly DIE....stud fee STILL due.

Having a litter will NOT prolong a dogs life, instead it will do exactly the opposite...the longer a dog is left intact the higher her chances become of having mamamry cancer, reproductive cancers and a very serious often fatal uterine infection, Pyometria.
Breeding & whelping is also a major risk, especially for toy breeds. They are at a high risk of emergency c-sections, low blood sugar, mastitis, small litters, low birthweigh pups, stillbirths as well as other complications.
It is also not a good idea to breed an unregistered dog one who hasn't undergone health tests (not just simple vet exams), that hasn't been shown or evaluated to see that they meet breed
standard, have impeccible pedigrees...to do so is irresponsible.
Since your girl is only 2.5# that makes her at an even higher risk for complications due to birth & whelping and caring for puppies.
******No responsible breeder/stud owner would breed to your girl either. Also it is the stud owner that determines payment not the female owner*******

1) NO reputable stud owner will allow their dog to service an unregistered female.
2) Having a litter will NOT prolong her life. At her size it could kill her.
3) She will likely need a c-section
4) The fee is for the service, not for puppies. Most reputable stud owners will allow a return if there are no live puppies, but you'd need that spelled out in the stud contract. Remember, stud owners WANT their dogs to produce, if he gets a reputation for missing he won't be in demand.

You have a very small unpapered dog. Why do you want to breed her? If you spay her, her chances of developing cancer in her reproductive systems lower significantly. If you do breed her, please make sure you find a smaller male. . .
Most breeders/stud owners, already know if they want 'pick' or the fee up front. The thing to decide is which male is right for your female - no common ancestors - size, personality. . .

Get your dog spayed. There is no reason on earth to breed an unregistered dog. Then go volunteer at your local animal shelter and learn a bit about the plight of pets in our society.

he's lovable. I actually have a lady chihuahua yet she is spayed. when you're really extreme, call the yankee Kennel club and locate chihuahua breeders on your area. contained in the intervening time, savour Skippy -- he has an lovable face.
