:lol: hi guys
My mum is thinking of getting into dog breeding so im doing some research on animal lovers favrite types of dogs so if you could tell me all your favs i would really appreciate it

For pure breds rotties and staffies, but when/if i get my own dog it would definately be a mongrel.

If she wants a dog breed that will sell quickly and easily, as well as being easier for her to manage, get into the small stuff.

Small, fluffy, cute eyes, little noses. Bichon, Maltese types.

Even the petshops are selling crossbreeds of the above for in excess of $600. They are walking out the doors like hotcakes. People fall in lust with their cuteness. They are small and good for people that don't have a lot of time for walking or a large space to keep them in. Good in rental homes. Very popular with young women as they can be carried around and fussed over.

Personally, I can't stand them.

Great Danes...

need a lot of room to breed them but are the most amazing looking dogs with the most fantastic personality...

 

[cris]

Yeah the small ones would be the best ones for making money, much cheaper to maintain and you could keep them in much smaller cages, you could probably even keep them in a larger verson of those lab style rodent tubs.

Bull Terriers, they are real people dogs with heaps of personality and great with kids. My oldest boy is 12 this year and he still acts like a little puppy, he thinks he's a lap dog. They sell for an average of $1500 with papers and they sell fast. You can also get miniture bullies, they are about the size of a staffie.

 

[MoreliaMatt]

Boxers, Staffies (British and American), Pugs, Bull Mastiffs, Bull Terriers.


they would have to be all my favorites!

heres a pic or 2 i took th other night of my beautiful Boxer and my brothers staffies!

Here are just a few links of a few dogs that need homes after irresponsible owners don't look after their pets and allow backyard breeding to occur.
Animals are not money making machines.
There are so many animals that are put down every day because people think it's a great idea to make a buck or two without actually caring for the well being of their pets and their offspring.

German Shepherds are my fave and for small dogs Miniature Fox Terriers I have 2 and they are so cute and have huge personalities.

 

[falconboy]

we just bought a 7 week old pure bred foxy the other day he only cost me $100

 

[Earthling]

Yeah I havent seen those cris...how much do they go for those larger versions of the rat tubs...?
Would they hold 2 or 3 female Malteses?
I would imagine one good maltese male could be just moved from cage to cage as they come on heat yeah.....coooooorrr....


of couse though what you cant sell is goanna food.......:lol:

 

[cyclamen]

we have a toy maltese, and a toy pommeranian. they are great tiny dogs.

Here's my buddy! I had two Golden Retrievers when I lived on my own, absolute top dogs. They eventually passed away at the ripe old age of 16 and 16 and a half. When I got together with my now wife she only wanted a small house dog. I didn't paticularly want a little "yappy" dog. Anyway my daughter picked out a Maltese/Lhasa Apso cross, wouldn't be without her now. She's my mate! (I talk to her more than I talk to the wife, and she doesn't answer back!!).

 

[Oxyuranus microlepid]

golden retrievers, labs, border collies are great

 

[spencer]

personal opinion is bullmastiffs they are the uglyest cutest dogs ever!!!! but maltese would probably turn over faster

 

[Glimmerman]

Isn't it a strange world!

People get bagged the crap out of for crossing different sp snakes and usually sell for very little $$ as x's, but people will pay $800 for a Labrador x Poodle (LabraDoodle)

Go figure :?

 

[Nappy]

Boxers and Labs are great.

I couldn't choose so I got a Boxer X Lab. I like to call him a Boxador!

I love mongrels, but not much good if your gonna breed Pure Labs go for around $800+ this guy cost me $200.

Here's Jester.

If you want a dog for breeding reasons than firstly stay away from breeding cross breed dogs unless you have good knowledge of breeding. People don't realise when they just through any old dog together the problems they are causing not for themselves but the poor pups to come. As for little dogs well I guess it's up to the individual but they have a lot of problem welping and holding larger litters so if it's money your after than I would suggest breeding dogs isn't the best idea. When you buy a certain type of dog to breed you need to consider a few things as well as what type of breed for instance any major health issues with the breed, can they breed and welp naturally, worst case senario your female might not fall pregnant or worse still could fall pregnant have troubles near time for birth and you could loose her and your pups and also get a very nice vet bill. I've been breeding dogs for a while now (aussie bulldogs) and if you intend to breed then don't do it for the money but the love of the dogs. Shore you'll have times when you make good money and everything goes to plan, but more times than not it won't. A simple cesarian could cost you up to $2000 so add them costs plus needles and worming for all the pups, food, the inital cost to obtain your dogs to breed and any health issues that may arize (and beleive me they will). Once you've added up all them cost then work it out from there if it's even worth doing and if you think it is then more than looking at what dogs people like to see what's worth breeding, look at a dog that is suitable for you as a pet and dosn't have difficulty breeding.

 

[tempest]

Bullmastiffs all the way!!!! They are the most beautiful dog in the world but you have to like big dogs.

If she is looking at breeding and making money (which I can't say agree with, but hey, it's all about the love with me) I would say Labradoodles. They are popular with people who have asthma or are allergic to other dogs and they command big prices for some of the "rarer" colours. My friend just bought one and I saw the price list for them, they start at around $1,000 and for the blue and other more uncommon colours you are looking at close to $2,000 a dog. It's insane imo.

Again, breeding isn't something you do for money, it's something you do for the love of the animals!
