Question

we have puppies of which the mom= mini pinscher then the dad=poodle. any cost estimates would be great.Thanks

Answer 1

This was my answer to another question, but it still applies

Don't ask for much, since they are purebred, they aren't worth much. (but deserve all of the love in the world!)

HOWEVER. please DO ask for some money. about $80-100 should be fine. As awful as it sounds this will usually deter dog fighters who will get free to good home puppies and use them as bait to train their fighting dogs with, its horrible to think about but it happens. Also puppy millers are a concern. Even though they are not purebred, they don't care. they will still breed them under the registration name of another dog, and labs and shar peis are close enough in size, color and coat length to fool some gullible people.

I would suggest getting the dogs neutered so it doesn't happen again. If cost is an issue, there should be some low cost spay and neuter programs in your area, plus, neutering once is cheaper than multiple litters!

Answer 2

Most people here just give mutts away, or charge a small $50-$75 fee. You can't really ask much of anything for a mixed breed (unless you're a "designer dog" scam artist. Then you can ask an arm and a leg), since the cost to adopt one from the Humane Society is very low and no one in their right mind would pay a lot to you when they could get one there for close to nothing.

Answer 3

No more then $150.00. It's usually best to charge at least as much as the first pair of shoes the pups will chew to give their new owners incentive not to dump them (especially for mixed breeds). It is rare to make money on a litter - top breeders can do it but it took years of losses for them to become recognized. They should have their first two shots prior to adoption and should be (as well as the dame) dewormed a couple of times.

Whatever you do, please don't dump them at the pound/humane society. They are not there to handle peoples' mistakes and self respect demands personally handling it. In addition, many shelters automatically kill any dogs that are owner turn ins the same day.

Answer 4

$150 male -200 female is a fair cost depending on the shots and other preventive measures you'll taken to ensure that these puppies, though mixed, are still some quality. also you should screen the potential buyers. anyone expecting a free dog just because it's mixed isn't someone that you most likely want one of your puppies handed over to

Answer 5

Enough to cover the shots and worming and ask your vet if they'll offer a small discount if the people will get the puppies spayed and neutered at your vet.

Get the parents spayed/neutered.

So $50 if you get the shots and wormings and the mom has her shots. Otherwise take them to a shelter and let them find them homes so they do get fixed.

Answer 6

make sure to check the homes of perspective owners to make sure they will treat the puppy well. Sometimes people use small dogs to bate large dogs. Get your dog spayed, and charge at least 150 to make sure new owners are serious about owning a dog. Have them sign paper work promising to get their new pets fixed.

Answer 7

most people give muts away. Make sure they have shots and charge accordingly. Better yet, if you have a vet who does pediatric spay/neuter, get that done and adopt them out for the cost, with mabe enough to get mom and dad fixed too.

Answer 8

It's hard to say when they are a mix breed. Try to get your cost and most of all good homes. All the best;^)

Answer 9

Anything over $50 would be too much and that is if you get the pups vaccinated first. People shouldn't buy mutts. They should rescue them from a shelter.

Answer 10

Well it depends on the dogs' bloodlines and the vaccinations they recieved, or if the ears got cropped or tails got done. It depends how much you have already spent on them and the reputation of their parents. Remember they aren't purebreds, but they aren't totally mixed up. It also depends on the area where you live.
