Sure…you can sell ‘em for x-mas gifts…they will be nice and tiny (teacup like) at 5 weeks of age….so small they could be wrapped in a box with a big red bow!

Did they breed on a full moon?? If it was not a full moon, then you multiply the breedings x2.. So if they bred 5 times, they have 10 puppies.. If it was a full moon, then you multiply by 3… So that is 3 x 5 = 15 puppies. IF you bred first thing in the morning… come on.. This is basic knowledge…

I would wait until the pups are at least 8 weeks old as they acquire a great deal of puppy socialization from their parents and littermates.
As they are your puppies, the choice lies ultimately for you.
The best way to find out how many puppies there will be is by ultrasound.
I would definitely steer away from selling Christmas pups. You won’t get more money and many of these poor dogs end up abandoned once the novelty of them being a present wears off. Not to mention that it is a very stressful time to introduce a young puppy to its new home. You can always accept deposits to hold puppies until after the Holiday season is over. By then it will have given potential owners time to really think about the responsibilities that are inolved in adding a new pet to their family and the puppy will be introduced to a quieter environment.

to a poster above.. he bred 2 shih tzus not a poodle and a shih tzu, the dam’s name is poochie not poodle lol

So to the question you cant LEGALLY sell them until 8 weeks they should be kept with mother until 9 or 10 and its wrong to charge extra because of a time period

Ahh creative. If only everyone knew this was a joke.(this is unfortunatle how many people breed dogs ) You have a pretty good imatation of back yard breeder down.Whats next? i cant wait to see .
Of course charge more at christmas what does it matter if they will end up at a shelter 3 weeks later.
hopefully lots of pups
more pups =more$$$
sell them at 5 weeks they will be small and cute and you can call them teacups .I wish you would have breaded teacup greatdanes or shipooslabadog something more unusual.
anyways i will have 2
one male,one female then they can bread and i can make $ too.(wont have any birth defects? if they do oh well ill sell them to anyone and make money.
ill call them extra small teacup dogs. and soon ill be rich
so thats 2 teacup pups 5 weeks old
also they better not poop.bark,shed, good with kids, very small, no training needed and can be left outside all day.also a gold collar would be nice .
hopefully everyone will get this is what BYBS and puppy mills do , and wil no longer buy dogs from them.

ps. how much do you think my extar teacup dogs will be worth ?after all the are extra small and a designer breea not a mutt

Eight weeks is the best time for puppies to go to new homes. They should go to the vet at least once and had their first set of shots and been wormed. If you want a good idea how many puppies she is going to have, you can take her to the vet and get an ultra sound or an xray. You should get some prenatal care for her anyway. If puppies are raised properly you’ll be lucky to break even. If you decide to breed your dog again, please do your research to make sure you are making the breed better, not a quick buck!

1. 5 pups most likely.
2. no, you need to wait till the dogs are at least 8 weeks old.
3. even if they WERE ready by christmas, it doesnt give you the right to raise more money.

You will have 2 puppies for each time the dogs mated. It’s a good thing you left your young daughter to watch those two so you will know what to expect!

Christmas is the perfect time to sell puppies because you can make extra money. And isn’t that why anyone breeds dogs?

The only mistake you have made is breeding purebred dogs. Why didn’t you breed your shih tzu with a poodle to make shih poos? Now that would have been awesome!!!!!11111 Also, teacup dogs are better. The smaller the better. Pocket dogs!!!!!!!!111 It’s best if they are the kind that don’t shed or poop either, because everyone knows that is grosssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

your dog can have anywhere from 1 -10.
Pups aren’t to leave momeuntil theyare 8 weeks old.
NO you don’t charge extra unless you are doing it to make money.
Now about the money that should be spent out was for genetic test done before breeeding,registering the litter, wormings at 2,4,6,and 8 weeks ( get teh wormer at teh vets) and you also do mom. MOm should be on a very good quality puppy food with additional vitamins such as nutrical.
Pups should get their first shotat 6 weeks which should be your responsability not the new owner. Don’t forget the additional food the pups will eat from 3 weeks on. oh and they need a second shot at 9 weeks if they don’t go by then.
I hope there isn’t a c-section
and before all this at about 4-5 weeks into the pregnancy she (b-i-t-c-h) needs to go for a check up and a sonogram to make sure all is going ok.
Hope you have planned ahead for all this as it does cost. My vet after the pups are born charges for 5 pups $10 for each worming so that’s $20, vet check and shot is $45 per pupwhich is $225. If I need a c-section on normal time it’s $500 and emergency which is most of the time as dogs seem to like to birth in the middle of the night it’s $800
WEll good Luck
