wanting to breed husky mix and gsd mix?

Question

i have recently been interested in breeding my 1 yr old husky x lab x whippet female. i am not an experienced breeder and i would only like ella to have 3 or 4 litters of dogs. i also have a 4 yr old female go.retr. x gsd girl who i would like to breed but i think she my be to old. any opinion on her age? they arent fixed due to my unssteady financial situation. my brother has a 2 yr old male beagle and my sister has a 3 yr old samoyed x ridgeback male. i dont know what dog to use for which biatch. any ideas? ella mostly gets along with tommo (beage) and rosie gets along w/ jack (samxrb) mostly.
i need all info and help regardsing breeding dogs together. what home should it be done? age? day of heat? how many pups expected? how many litters to have ea.? how to socialize pups? medical care one born? food to feed mom n litter? weaning? rearing?

i feed both f. dogs adult large brd science diet. would the pups b able to eat that?

oh and is it worth saying that ella got preg when she was 5 months old by my neighbors pitbull x dalmation but she was hit by a car at 4 weeks old and so i decided that it was best to terminate litter?

guys all i want to kno is the answers to my simple to answer and read questions. i dont need to vacc or worm to desex the litter od puppy dogs once born. none of my dogs have been vacc or wormed and they are healthy as. they have never ever seen the vet office is how healthy they r!

my dogs r not atms and i dont use them as such. my dogs will make great moms because both of them have fostered a stray cat ea. from accross the road! ella fostered this cat who had a disease and died then she ate it but it was nice anyway and rosie fostertd my neighbors cat when he got lost.

i am in for some money but i dont care to much about how much i get for them but as long as i get over 400$ i dont care bcoz i have bills and cc bills to pay!

my dogs are healthy and are happy outside dogs. they get good food and..a kennel; and water. thats all and thats all they need. the LEAST MINIMUM thing they can do for me is give me some money by me selling their babies. just answer nicely!

Answer 1

How much money do you think you will get for 4x breed mutts?

Please spay your pets or give them away if you can't afford them. Breeding dogs isn't the answer to your unstable finical situation. Dogs aren't ATMs and shouldn't be used as one.

Edit: Kandice, I don't know ONE single person who would EVER pay $400 for a 4x breed mutt! The MOST I would pay for a mutt is $200 - my local RSPCA adoption fee for a puppy. You seriously need to think about this. Your dogs aren't responsible for paying off your Credit Card or electricity bill! GET A JOB!

Answer 2

Sure would like to know where you live so I can call the authorities on you for wanting to start a puppy mill. That's exactly what it is you doing and don't deny it!!!! In my county, you would have to have a kennel license in which they would refuse you one cause all your doing is wanting to breed breed breed. Not caring about the health of your animals or the pups. Not caring about the temperments that the resulting pups will have. Not caring that all shelters are already overrun with animals and that thousands of dogs are put down on a daily basis cause there aren't enough good homes for them all. You won't find anyone to answer your questions cause your too selfish. Get a dam job and stop using your credit cards. Then you won't have to worry about paying them off. Sheesh!!!

Answer 3

My aunt breeds white shepherds as well as standard colored shepherds AND used to breed Siberians as well. And sometimes there were accidents. We've had Siberian father/Shepherd mother and vice versa. I've spent A LOT of time (feeding, walking, playing, etc) with both her purebreds and mixes. Your potential pets have NO German Shepherd. At all. If they were mixed, their ears would be a bit bigger, more rounded, and they would both be taller and probably heavier too. Their eyes wouldn't be solid blue either. Maybe speckled with or solid brown. They are both full blooded Siberian husky. They aren't show quality, but they are beautiful dogs. I hope they find a good home.

Answer 4

lol....I'm sorry I just can't help but think this is meant to get back at all the people here who say to be a responsible owner and not breed your pet...I mean it has red flags all over the place!

If not, and your genuinely thinking about doing something like this....WHY? Don't you care about your dogs? Don't you care about the puppies? You don't have the money to care for them but your gonna breed MORE? If your thinking of making $$$$ off the pups you'll have a rude awakening for sure and most likely end up dumping the poor pups in a already overcrowded shelter.

I'm not trying to be rude here but geez, how nieve can people get??????

Answer 5

WHY are you wanting to breed these dogs? If it's because you love them and want a pup to be just like them - it won't happen. You can't even get the same personality etc. if you clone a dog, so you sure can't if you breed one. If you think you can make money from them, they are far more likely to end up being the "free to good homes" pups - and you will be out the cost of their care. Things go wrong. I just had a foster, a coon hound mix, who bred with a large lab. Her pups had to be delivered by Caesarian. And when the pups were 8 days old she developed an absess on a nipple, had a high fever, ended up at the vets for 5 days and I had to bottle feed an entire litter. Even if everything went right, you'd be responsible for their de worming (almost all pups need to be dewormed), at least their first set of baby shots, and if you were truly a responsible breeder, for neutering the litter before finding them homes. You'd also be responsible for standing behind your pups. You'd have to be willing to take them back any time throughout their lifetime. Can you do that? And after you raise them for 8 weeks, can you just "sell" them to someone? Wouldn't you want to make sure that they were going to a responsible home, to good people who would cherish them and care for them? Believe me, there are not near enough of those kind of homes out there willing to take in a mixed breed pup, let alone someone willing to buy one. The litter could have from 1 to 16 puppies. Can you find homes for all of them? Also, you'd need to feed both Mom and babies quality PUPPY food. They won't get enough nutrition from adult food. I fostered another litter a year ago where it turned out the Mom had been exposed to a certain protozoa in her wanderings as a stray. She passed it down to her pups. It attacked Snookum's nerves right at the base of her tail. Her back legs are paralyzed. I took her 3 hours away to a University Vet hospital for treatment and an attempt to arrest the damage. It was a $3000.00 treatment (but they gave us a huge break because a Humane Society was trying to scrape up the money - they wouldn't have given that price break to a regular person.) This fall I took in an emaciated pregnant beagle. She ended up not having any milk. All of her pups died, although I tried my best to save them. Please rethink this.

OK, even if you feel that you don't need to care for the pups at all - pay for shots, etc., and even supposing nothing goes wrong that will cost you vet bills, and for that to happen, you have to steal yourself to the possibility of letting your dog die rather than call a vet, and even supposing your dogs, not having seen a vet, are healthy and have no genetic problems to pass on, and even if you had 16 puppies - you still would not make $400.00 from mixed breeds. These aren't "designer dogs" where 2 highly sought after breeds are put together to try to get some desirable characteristics. These are plain old mutts. If you find people willing to pay $400.00 for them, let me know how you did it. You'd get the salesperson of the year award.

Answer 6

I am a certified veterinary nurse and i would like to say as kindly as possible that this is just a bad idea. if you really care about your animals then it is not fair to use them for money. and they may be healthy but there can be alot of complications. and if you dont have the money to spay/neuter them what would you do if they have some difficulty during labor? i dont think that you will get nearly as much money for these mutt puppies (especially if you wont worm/vaccinate them) as you expect and for what it takes to properly care for a pregnant dog and then puppies is going to make it worth your while.

Answer 7

you will make no money off of these dogs. they are mutts. you would not even make $400 dollars per puppy if they were purebred. in fact i doubt you would be able to find homes for all the puppies, let alone sell them. it is in most areas, illegal to not vaccinate your dogs, or the puppies you breed. if getting them spayed is a financial issue then you REALLY should not breed because puppies are expensive to care for, or actually you should probably not even own dogs.

Answer 8

Oh, please, please don't breed more mixed breed dogs.
I hate to sound like a nag, but I run a rescue and I have seen thousands of dogs put to sleep because of the large amounts of breeding that goes on.
Also, you mentioned a rocky financial situation. Please keep in mind that breeding is expensive. If ANYTHING goes wrong, it can cost thousands just to keep the mom alive, and even more to keep the pups healthy.
In our rescue right now, we have a dog that came to us pregnant and when she went into labor, she bled excessively and the cost is now about $2500 and steadily rising.
Don't do it unless you are financially stable and have THOUROUGHLY researched dog breeding. Also, keep in mind that breeding mutts will not bring you much money, so you may lose, not make money if that is your motivation.

Answer 9

Not to sound mean, but if you can't afford to get them fixed due to your finances, you can't afford to raise a litter of pups. It's expensive as far as vet stuff goes.

Answer 10

Please, please, please do not breed!
Breeding should be a VERY selective effort... and it's costly to do right (breeders don't breed for money, because there really isn't any in it. Even those charging $500-$1000 per pup.) I'm sure you have great dogs... it doesn't mean you'll breed great dogs by putting them together.
