How should I go about breeding my mini poodle?

Question

I'm going to get a mini poodle puppy next year and when she is older I'm planning on breeding her...
Hear me out before lecturing me please.
I'm going to breed her with a proven cocker spaniel stud, I won't breed her with any old dog that the owners say 'is proven' I'll make sure he has papers to prove his health and I'll also get my dog tested for any health problems before breeding her.
Cockerpoo's are not mutts before you lecture me, they are designer dogs, bred so people with allergies can have a k-9 companion. My mum is allergic to the fur dogs shed so I'm getting a mini-poodle.
I have had a passion for dogs ever since I was a little girl and now I'm going to act on my passion.
Please do not go on about how there are enough mutts in the world because Cockapoo's are actually pretty much classed as their own breed of dog...
All I want is advice on breeding her because I plan to go about it responsibly so I get healthy, happy puppies...

Answer 1

Child, you've got issues!! If nobody would miss you the last thing you need to be considering is bringing mutts into this world. You're a very disturbed child... even if you were an adult you'd need at least $15 grand to breed a "qualified" b*tch. If your folks have that kind of $$$ it would be better spent on getting you help for your cutting issues.



This was on a recent post of yours & saddened me as a Mum......



"I cut again but a teacher found me before I could do real damage so I had to hide my blade before she saw it.

And lately I have been having suicidal thoughts sometimes thinking 'Nobody would miss me if I were to die' and 'maybe if I throw myself down the stairs it would look like an accident'"

Answer 2

you don't



there is NO legit reason to risk her life just to create mongrel pups.





Cockapoos ARE mutts.. its the result of breeding two different breeds- it IS a mutt. And many of them still cause allergies- because many of them still have the high dander coat like a cocker!!!



They are NOT classified as "their own breed of dog".. not by anyone but crappy back yard breeders. They are still created by mixing two different breeds.. there is NO consistency in traits among them. There are also PLENTY of them in shelters!







If someone can't adopt a dog at a shelter, then they probably shouldn't be buying from a breeder either. And a mongrel dog is NOT a "well bred" dog either.









ADDED



A mini poodle also has a smaller frame than the average cocker.. cocker mix pups may be TOO BIG for her to deliver them safely. DO NOT risk your pet's life just because you have some weird fanatasy about wanting to breed. Breeding is risky business, and not for the squeamish. There is a chance the mom could die.. pups OFTEN die.. its a lot of work, its messy, its smelly, its expensive. There are a LOT of things that can go wrong, and it is NOT worth the hearbreak of loosing your pet or loosing a puppy.

Answer 3

I agree with everyone! There are way too many dogs in shelters that will be killed. You obviously need a lecture because you have no idea what you are doing.



1) Mini Poodles are too small to hold pups from a Cocker Spaniel, It will die.

2)"Designer" dogs is the stupidest thing I have ever heard someone call a group of dogs. It is just BYB thinking in their mind that they are cool to "make a breed".

3) YOU WILL HAVE A MUTT! If you MIX breed dogs that is what MUTTS are... MIXED breeds. Just because Dumb *** people gave them a cute name doesn't make them an official purebred. If I bred a Pitbull and a Great Dane and called it a Great Bull that doesn't make it a "Designer" breeds for people who want a huge strong dog. It makes it a MUTT! Don't do it, go adopt, save one life instead of killing multiple lives.

Answer 4

You are so WRONG. "And In the UK most of the animal shelters don't put the animals down" we either have to turn LOTS of dogs away and that is approx. 10 a day, or shelters put dogs down. There is no alternative. No rescue can keep up with the amount offered.



As for breeding them you cannot say now that your pup will be good enough to breed.



The pups WILL be mutts... they might be designer dogs but they are still mutts. You cannot question that. A mutt is a mix of dogs.. that's it.



You will still be a byb if you go ahead with this and nobody here will give you help so it is pointless asking on yahoo. There is far more breeding advice on any dog site than you'll get on here, so I guess the point of your question was to get everyone wound up then ...

Answer 5

1. Only backyard breeders whelp mutts.

2. A mutt is a dog that is not purebred.

3. Cocker Spaniels and Poodles are two DIFFERENT breeds.

4. "Cockerpoos" are mutts with ridiculous names.

5. No matter how you try to justify it with yourself you will still be a backyard breeder.

6. There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. And if there was, mixing breeds would create a situation where all, none, or some of the puppies would be "hypoallergenic". That's what happens when you breed mutts. You lose consistency in the breed.

7. A mini poodle bit** would be too SMALL to whelp puppies from a spaniel and she would die anyway, so all your hard work just to see some money would be fruitless. I feel sorry for your bit** and for your bank account. In reality, it's much better to just get a job. Breeding is expensive, especially when you kill the bit** that is supposed to be your moneymaker.



I suggest you educate yourself, although somehow I doubt you will.

Answer 6

Please tell me you have made this up deliberately to push my BP through the roof - you are about to succeed.



1. You haven't even got your Poodle puppy yet. Thank goodness

2. I hope that between now and the 3 more years before this can possibly happen, you grow up and learn about BYBs and breeding mutts.

3. It would be bad enough if you bred a pet Min.Poodle to another Min.Poodle but to come here saying you plan to mate her to a COCKER SPANIEL .......!! Papers to prove his health?



My dear, I don't like the term mutts, but what you are planning to do, is become a BYB producing more mix-bred (designer) puppies. For what exactly? Oh right, the miracle of birth, and MONEY.



People with allergies won't be any better with a mix-bred puppy like this because the Cocker in it won't cancel out the effects of the Poodle. It's the dander that most people with allergies suffer from in any case.



Thank goodness, Cockerpoos are not a recognised breed, and are therefore only classed as mutts, mix breds, mongrels.



Advice - when/if you get your Poodle, get her spayed before her first season, and love her for what she will be. Your pet.



Well done, my BP has gone through the roof.

Answer 7

What is the reason for this?



You aren't breeding to a breed standard. Also, there is no money to be made in backyard breeding without scamming and lying to people. With the vet work and the hours and hours you will spend getting the pups ready for adoption you could literally make more money with a paper route or delivering pizzas.



You're going to receive a lecture by anyone who is a proponent of responsible dog ownership and breeding. There is no "responsible" way to become a backyard breeder. What your doing is extremely irresponsible and makes a negative impact on your community. If you can still sleep at night then by all means, go ahead. You're going to anyway. You want to do something yet people who are knowledgeable about this thing are telling you not to and giving you numerous reasons why its unethical and irresponsible. This speaks volumes about your (lack of) character as a human being.

Answer 8

"Cockerpoo's are not mutts before you lecture me, they are designer dogs"

Wow you are so incredibility IGNORANT!

Breeding is meant for the better meant of the bred no to make more throw away mongrels that no one wants. You say you aren't doing it for money, (I call BS) but it doesn't matter you are making ill begotten mutts that will end up in shelters and be put down. UK shelters put dogs down too or else they would have an over flow of dogs.

You are selfish human for wanting to put your dog through that. You are not doing anything noble, you not helping anyone you are just breeding for the sake of breeding which is wrong. My best bet is you'll be on here later whining cause your dog died in whelping.

Good luck fool.

Answer 9

mmm, okay...first of all...a cocker spaniel is not hypo allergenic, so no...your mutts will not be ok for people with allergies. Just because poodles are, doesn't mean the cross will be. Why would you want to breed your pet? Money? Get a real job. There are so many dogs in need of homes, all you are is a back yard breeder. Stealing homes that could be given to dogs on death row. There is absolutely no reason for someone to breed an animal unless they are a registered, experienced breeder who knows exactly what they are doing, and has homes lines up for each puppy. Go get an education, and get a real job. Or, since you clearly dont give a damn about the dogs on death row, how about you go work for the pound? You can be the person who puts all the little homesless pups in a gas chamber. I mean, you clearly don't care that you're aiding in their euthanization, so why dont you just flip the switch yourself?



EDIT

Oh, I understand the meaning of no lectures...I just don't care, darling. You are a fool. Your excuses are the only thing that is rubbish here. If a rescue wont let you adopt one of their dogs, theres a good reason for it. If they dont see you are fit to own a dog, then they wont let you adopt one. So...if you can't adopt one then...MAYBE you shouldnt own one?!?? Let alone breed it.

Answer 10

First, I want you to study the dogs. Cockers need heavy grooming, so do Poodles, but Cockers shed. Poodles don't. Poodles are outgoing whereas Cocker lines have a tendency to be submissive and shy. If you really want to shine for allergic folks breed with the dogs who have the same genetics that the poodle has. The same happy temperament. Study the breed you are going to be mixing, not the new line that is out there. I would not buy a cockerpoo from you, but if I were going to buy a dog for allergy purposes I would come more buying a Poodle or yorkiepoo. Yorkies do not shed. If I were to spend heavy money, which any of these dogs do require, I myself would just stick with the full blood Poodle. I have a saying....Why fix it if it ain't broke...Poodles are not broke. Wonderful breed for many many reasons.

Answer 11

Mutt - mix of 2 different breeds.

"Cockerpoo" fancy name for a mongrel dog.



NO ONE with a proven purebred is willing to donate their dog for breeding mongrels? Why? Because people who take the time to go out and get the titles, genetic clearances, and temperament tests don't want to waste their hard earned work on a mongrel dog.



As a pointless mongrel breeder you ARE thought of as a dog murderer because there's thousands of same quality mutts in the shelters. So what, they're not getting put down? That's even sadder. Than means that they sit and rot in little cages for the rest of their lives.





Spay your ill bred dog.

Answer 12

No reputable cocker spaniel breeder would Ever, Ever, breed their dog with your poodle to create a litter of mixbreeds.



Your just another person, looking to make a buck off your dog. BTW, "cockerpoo's" are not a new mix. They have been around since the 1950's and still don't breed true.



Get a job if you need money and spay your female. Absolutely disgusting.

Answer 13

Congratulation for wanting to become for wanting to become a BY Ber.

The idea of breeding "Designer Dogs" is about the lamest idea I have heard.

Cockapoos or **** a poos as you called is nothing more then a mutt, a cross between two breeds, not pure.

And so you know there is no such thing as a Hypo-allergenic dog.



Forget breeding and have this dog spayed at about 6 months of age.

There is to many want to be breeders as it is.

Answer 14

I didn't even bother to read it.



If you have to seriously ask this question on Y!A, get her spayed, or join the club and become a backyard breeder.



If you want to seriously breed the correct way and LOOSE money to improve the breed, talk to a breed club on how to get started.



WAIT...



I just read it... about the Cockapoo... you seriously think they're a purebreed? Leave the breeding to the pros. And you want to breed your Poodle with an entirely DIFFERENT breed. How the hll is that making the PUREBRED MINIATURE POODLE breed stronger, if you're trying to get mutts?

Answer 15

Since u are planning on breeding her with a different breed of dog to produce mixed breed mutts u should not be breeding her at all. There is a lot of money and work that needs put in BEFORE even considering a dog for breeding. Spay your dog. Spaying reduces the risk of cancer.

Answer 16

I assume you're joking. In fact, you HAVE to be joking. Surely nobody is *really* as deluded as you (or the troll character you've created) appear to be.



Credit where it's due - your trolling is certainly more well-written than most I've seen & it's been crafted with skill. Even now, there's a part of me that wonders if you're serious. On the off chance that you are being serious, I can only suggest you seriously reconsider your plan.



I still think you're trolling for a reaction though.

Answer 17

A cocker spaniel is too big for a miniature poodle, they have to be bred the other way around. You put a poodle stud to a cocker bytch. The pups would be far too big for your bytch to carry to full term or deliver. The pregnancy could kill her, a puppy could get stuck, she'd probably need a cesaerian.



The best thing to do is buy a breeders manual and study it, its a long complicated process and theres a lot to learn. Its mainly what you do if things go wrong, and how to tell if they need a vet or not.

They sell manuals at Amazon. Theres far too much to type here.

Answer 18

So, you want to get into the back yard breeding business. woohoo



Another person adding to the on going problem.....too many dogs, not enough homes. Maybe your litter will cost the lives of 5 or 6 already in the shelter that may have had homes. Maybe they will be euthanized so there is room for yours.



Don't do it!!!!.



add: YOU need to get your facts straight! They do euthanize. You think they just hold on to them? What happens when they run out of room? Do you think they take them home? No, they euthanize. Wow, intellegence is not your strong suit.

Answer 19

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED BEFORE BREEDING

A good business man does his home work before launching his business. What is home work of a business man? He takes stock of the market, predict his future on the ground of reality, he must think about the compensation if he gets the loss. Choice of place for business his first step. Same like a business man a good breeder must know about his home work. He should do his homework before proceeding to breed a dog. Here are some questions which can be helpful for a breeder. He must ask all these questions to himself and if he gives answers to himself in ‘yes’ then he can start breeding. The questions are as follows:



1. Can I have a good home for the pup?



2. Either I have enough and good knowledge to care for the litter correctly, including vaccinations and behavioral civilization?



3. Can I have enough money for the prescribed health checks/tests for the dam before mating (if needed) and litter?

Answer 20

You are a deeply disturbed 14-year-old who self-harms and can't even take care of a hamster properly. What on earth makes you think you have the right to play god with puppies' lives?



" I plan to go about it responsibly"



You can't even behave responsibly toward your own body.
