how much for breeding?

Question

A breeder is asking for my male teacup chihuahua for breeding?
what is the process? how much should i charge?
will he keep the dog for a day?

its a male dog..

Answer 1

I can't imagine that it's a real breeder asking to breed with your dog.. A REAL breeder would know that dogs don't come in teacup..

So if you want your male bred to a germy, dirty, disease ridden, BYB'd, PuppyMill b itch... YIKES... Then you need to set a price, and make them pay the price you want.. Do NOT take a puppy for payment.. Cause someone pretending that they are a breeder, well you know that their b itch is crap and you do not want a puppy out of that breeding.

The disease ridden puppymill ***** should come to your house.. a male is more likely to breed on his own turf... Males that travel to breed, sometimes feel uncomfortable and won't breed.. You don't want your dog over to their house anyhow.. You know what kind of things he could pick up ?!? Yuck..

You find a good stud contract online, you use that..
You should charge the price of one puppy.. So say chihuahua's go for $200. Then the stud fee would be $200.

Don't forget to insist that she be uptodate on vaccinations, and worming, tested and negative for parasites, and make sure you tell them to test their female for Brucellosis.. You don't want your male to be infertile because you didn't have them tested..
If it was me, I wouldn't even let anyone breed with my male.. The chance of disease and bringing something home.. Just not worth it..

Answer 2

$1,000 minimum---and he should pay for both of the brucellosis tests for each dog.

If his dog does not check as clear for brucellosis on both tests, do not breed with her as she could make your dog sterile.

Usually the female goes to the male and stays for a few days---I don't know how it would work to have your male go there. It might take a few days.

Also make sure you have no liability for any pups born with health problems---chis called "teacups" are very small and their pups can have lifelong health problems. Chis this size that have pups often have c-sections because there are so small---make sure he doesn't want you to pay for any of that either and that he won't come after you if your dog produces pups that are too big and the female dies.

BTW "Teacup" is actually a marketing term used for unusually small dogs and isn't an established variety like a miniature poodle. Deliberately breeding dogs this small involves some serious risk and it sounds like the person who approached you may not know much about it. I would be careful so you don't get burned.

Answer 3

1) there is NO such thing as a "teacup" anything..this is just a sales term given to undersized toy breeds that aren't bred to standard

2) breeding should not be considered until the dog is at least 2
3) breeding should not be considered until all genetic health tests are done and passed
4) breeding should not be considered if a dog does not meet breed standard as proven by showing and/or evaluation by no less then 3 unbiased breed knowledgable people/judges
5) breeding should not be considered until a pedigree is thoroughly researched for health, longevity, breed standard & temperament
6) breeding should not be considered unless both dogs are registered with a legit, reputable registry

Also a female is taken to the stud and most usually left during her heat cycle unless the owner lives very close by. Stud contracts must be made up that outline ALL information..stud fee/ pick of litter, repeat breeding if no puppies, puppies are stillborn, only one puppy is born/survives,injury/illness to stud/b!!Tch, etc.. there is a whole lot more to breeding then simply putting two dogs together.
It is a major responsability.

Answer 4

Allowing your male to be used for breeding will increase undesireable behaviors such as terrritorial marking, aggression and desire to roam. Somone irresponsible enough to breed without doing the proper genteic testing is irresponsible enough to let your dog get hurt or become diseased. I highly caution against letting this happen! On petfinder, there are over 275 chihuahuas looking for homes just in my area! Many of these will die, and it doesn't even cover the ones that aren't on petfinder.

Answer 5

You can keep a puppy, often - your pick of the litter.

However, very small dogs ("teacup") often have health problems, so you may not have your new puppy long. I urge you to please neuter your dog and do your part to stop this silly fad for dogs that are too small to be healthy.

Answer 6

You should take the female to your house for this. I would charge price of a puppy or pick of the litter.

Answer 7

Usually it's a few days that they babysit just to make sure that the copulation has taken effect.

The usual price the MALE owner charges is either one pup; or the price of one pup. So whatever they are selling the puppies for, you get the price of one.

Most people prefer to keep a puppy, but some like to get the money.

Hope this helps, and good luck. =)

Answer 8

If you don't know, your dog should be neutered. And there's no such thing as a "teacup" anyway. You backyard breeders really are something....

Answer 9

Well, usually you can charge a "booking fee," and a stud fee. It's really up to you how much to charge.

Our old stud would go to the female dog's home for a week. Wait a week and then go back. We charged a $25.00 "booking fee" (for transportation and food to send) and $200.00 a week.

Answer 10

No such thing as teacup dogs.At any rate tell her you want at least $300.00 /$500.00dollars.She will make at least one thousand per pup.
