My Golden Retriever is Pregnant with my friends Siberian husky. Both parents are purebred,not registered. The puppies will all have first shots, de-wormings, vet check and a puppy pack. Please let me know. We don’t expect to get much. All that matters is that they go to great homes, therefore we need money to know that they can take care of the pup we sell them.
I won’t take my pups to the shelter!

It was an accidental litter. I am spaying my Golden Retriever after she has the pups. My friend just got her husky neutered.

I will interview whoever is interested in one.

Well I’m sure that you already know that you can’t really charge a huge amount when it is not a pedigree dog.. My dog is a cross breed and she was £60. But as your paying for all the shots etc. I think it is only fair that you add that onto the cost, so I would personally charge about £100-£120 each. Maybe even a bit more.. If someone really loved one of the puppies, they would be willing to pay more, so that way you know when they are going to a loving home! 🙂
No more then the cost that went into each INDIVIDUAL pup or no more then the local animal shelter’s adoption fee- there are many mixes waiting to be adopted and may not be now due to the less available homes.
So from anywhere from$50-$60 would be a reasonable asking price. Please don’t just let these pups go to just anyone. There are bad people out there that pretend to be nice to get a cheap puppy..to either breed again and again until they are old and no good for breeding or they sell them to research labs- it does happen. Also you should consider, please do, of having a spay and neuter contract with each puppy..unless you got that done yourself, pups can be spayed and neutered as early as 8 weeks.
I would have potential buyers do a puppy reference to buy them. Check their references, house/yard if possible and any references like veterinarians- go to the vet if possible to make sure its not another friend pretending to be a vet over the phone to ensure that the best homes possibly can be found for these pups.
Some bad people can afford dogs..and shouldn’t have them, just because someone can match the asking price,doesn’t mean you should sell them that puppy. So be careful for any weirdos out there.
Keep in mind that only 1 in 10 dogs find their forever home…so be prepared to take back any dog that the owner can’t keep…many reputable breeders do this to avoid their dogs going to the shelter and possibly euthanized or sold to research labs.
Consider asking the cost of vetting so they at least have some financial investment in the pups.
You may be able to negotiate that they pay a vet of their choice the sterilization fee up front as an adoption fee that also ensures no more pregnancies.It’s never a guarantee though.
Those with no intent to breed should be pleased to do so.
Hopefully someone familiar with husky needs will be interested.A breed that far too often bounces into different homes.
Try calling some breed specific rescues(for both breeds) and ask about their policies or possible waiting list for those wanting only a puppy.
Generally about $50 a pup to cover the shots and other basic care you’ve had to give them for the 8 weeks you’ve had them. Never more than $75, and always lower than the price of your local animal shelter.
Be sure to screen all homes (Ask lots of questions, do home checks, so on and so forth) to make sure they are going to good homes (just because you can pay for a pup doesn’t mean you have everything else necessary), and write up a legal contract that these pups get fixed in their new homes to avoid anyone letting these pups have puppies of their own one day, and use any funds gotten from selling the pups to get your female fixed as well.
It’s advised that if all possible (you didn’t say how far along the pregnancy is) you get an emergency spay- Puppies are expensive, hard work, and puppies and mother dogs can die during birth (That risk goes up when the owner has little knowledge of breeding and whelping). Not to mention we have a ton of mixed breed pups in shelters, and adding to that doesn’t help the shelters with their burden.
As a side note- Without papers from a reputable kennel club (AKC, or UKC) you can not say a dog is “purebred” as there is no proof of such.
I’m assuming this was an accidental litter? There are too many mixed litters anyway, you shouldn’t want to add more to the world. Anyhoo….
A first puppy exam with deworming, shots cost around 65 dollars. You are going to need at least that to make up your money. If your dog has 10 pups, your looking at around 650-700 dollars for all this. And seeing as they are mixed, you are probably going to have to sell them at less than that.
I mean, if someone was wanting a puppy, they could go to the shelter and have one already fixed and shotted for about 60.00.
But good luck anyway, and after your puppies are gone I hope you spay your golden.

Just because someone pays money for a puppy does not always mean the will take care of it. You will not get much at all for the puppies. Maybe $75 to $100 if you are lucky. Barely enough to cover your expenses. If you bred the dogs just to make money on the pups you certainly did it with out thinking it over.
You really should of been more careful, and finding GOOD homes for these pups will be very hard.
Anyone with the experience to care for a husky would get a husky – not a husky cross. Finding people that will take in a cross that do have the experience to deal with a husky nature will be hard. And you’ve got a whole litter.
I wish you could see into the future and see how many of these end up in the dead dogs pile in a rescue shelter.
Well done.
Money is not the best way to determine a good family for your puppies. If you are really concerned about a good home for the puppies talk with your vet and the staff, they may know people that are able to offer a good home to a puppy. You can even talk with other vets in your area to help you find good homes for the puppies. Good luck.
I would suggest a donation to the nearest animal shelter in exchange for a puppy – you can have them make a check out to the shelter itself and you can take it there, or be there when they donate it. That way, you know they have money to at least “buy” the puppy (but you better make sure they’re going to properly care for it, do background checks and get references) and you help a shelter at the same time! My suggested donation would be somewhere in the vicinity of $100 or more. I would also immediately spay your dog.
