Question by Sandy: What are the dangers of breeding a chinese crested?
How difficult is it for chinese crested to bear pups? I ask because I also have a toy chihuahua and was told by vet she could have a difficult time. How many pups can be expected?

Is this her first season (your previous question)? If so this is not the time to be thinking about this, if ever to be honest, unless she’s a top quality b itch, with plenty to offer her breed. There is always the potential for disaster when breeding, especially when done by the novice. Talk this over with her breeder/your mentor and indeed, your vet, when you take her in to find out what’s going on with her season at the moment.
Possible complications:
Death of b*tch
Death of pups
Serious injury to b*tch
Serious injury to pups
Genetic diseases passed to pups
Poor temperament passed to pups
Rejection of litter
Could KILL the litter
Need i continue? Shouldn’t be breeding PET dogs without genetic testing, titles, and a mentor. Small dogs often need c-sections at $ 1,500+. Pups won’t be guaranteed to survive that. Surprised your vet didn’t suggest an emergency spay…. mine would have.

The answer is, leave breeding to responsible experienced breeders! There are enough backyard and puppy mill breeders in the world.
A minute ago you didn’t even know if her heat cycle was normal, and now you think you’re ready to breed her? Why don’t you solve all her problems and spay the poor thing?
The dangers of breeding a chinese crested? You may end up getting more of them….and seriously who wants more of them??? lol
As an owner of this breed.. please do not breed her. Leave it to those who are experienced.
One issue is that there are a lot of poorly bred examples with major health issues. Unless this dog comes from some of the best bloodlines and has had extensive health tests done, it should not be bred. Considering that you have to ask something like this, I doubt you’ve got your hands on a quality dog.
If you are trying to figure how much of a profit you can get.. there is none. This isnt exactly a high demand breed. I know show breeders with quality pups who cant find homes for all their pups, even when they do take waiting lists. People change their minds or find a pup elsewhere by the time the litter hits the ground. The breeder often end up keeping most of the litter for themselves. Some pups were eventually sold for the cost of their spay/neuter. I’ve had show potential pups offered to me for practically free a few times.
The only breeders I know who have no issues selling pups are those who have their bloodlines known world-wide.. they took a LOT of time, money and effort tho to show their dogs and get themselves known.. some of these breeders have been invovled in the breed for 20-25+ years.
It would be cheaper for you, and healthier for her, to just get her spayed and forget the idea of breeding.
