How much can I get for long hair/short hair daschund mix?

I have a short haired black female miniature daschund who gave birth to 6 puppies and the father was a long haired black and tan miniature daschund. I was wondering if my puppies are worth anything and if they are then how much. Neither of the parents have papers but they are both full blood. I didnt breed them with the intent to sell but they had more than I expected and people have been encouraging me to sell them and I am not sure where I should start the price at if I should sell them at all. I have homes for at least 3 but I dont know if I should sell the rest or put a add in the paper for just the price of the immediate vet bills such as their first shots and deworming. Thanks for any help I can get.How much can I get for long hair/short hair daschund mix?
Just enough to cover vet bills and deworming.How much can I get for long hair/short hair daschund mix?
A dog without papers is not a purebred. You have indicated your dogs are ';fullblood'; there is no such thing. And you have no idea what kind of blood lines your dog has because they have not been documented. Lots of people say ';well I have a purebred I just never registered it'; This is so not true! the breeder not the buyer registers the puppies and no legitimate breeder is going to sell a litter of puppies with out papers!





So in my opinion you should not be charging anything for your puppies. You should do everything in your power to ensure they go to great homes that are going to provide all they need to get them through their lives, but you chose to breed them obliviously for your own enjoyment, so suck it up and eat the costs.





That's not to say your puppies aren't worth anything, All living creatures are worth a lot! They are just not worth anything monetary! Please don't passively support puppy mills by overcharging people for puppies. You yourself said you had no intention of selling them!
I recommend taking the price of however much it cost for vaccinations and deworming -- say, an example price of $43 a puppy -- and round it up to $50 as the selling price. Or if it was $26 dollars a puppy for the vet work, round it up to $30. These dogs are not purebred, so make sure you don't advertise them that way, because it's illegal to sell a dog as a purebred if it doesn't have papers. If a dog is not a purebred, it's not worth anything for showing, and shouldn't be sold at a high price.
Seeing as they do not come with papers, there's no real reason to cahrge a whole lot for them. Figure out how much their vet bills are, and maybe add like $20 to that so you get a bit of a profit. No reason at all to charge much of anything at all.
Since they don't come with registration papers, only charge enough to cover vet bills for vaccines and deworming. I would say $50 - $75 each should be good. You can place an ad to sell them or use word of mouth or both. Then I would have your female spayed just because pregnancies can be hard on dachshunds due to the fact that they are prone to spinal injuries. Good luck, I'd love to see pics of the puppies. I adore dachshunds!!!
$100 to $200! People love small house dogs!!
You could probably sell them for around $75-100. People are usually willing to pay for full blooded dogs even if they don't have papers, especially small dogs. It also help sell the dogs if you mention that they already have their puppy shots and have been wormed. Sell them around Valentine's Day!
If you check the classifieds in your paper you will see the price of daschounds and go from there.The paper will tell you the price of papered and non-papered dogs.That would be nice to just get your vet bills back, and I'm glad you have homes for 3 already.It depends on your part of the country for the price---around 150 each, I'd say.I just lost my 15 year companion %26amp; would love a puppy that I could afford.Good luck in placing them, make sure they get loving homes....
Charge for the shots %26amp; worming each and the cost of feeding them til 8 weeks old. About $25.00 max. Then PLEASE have her spayed.
You should be able to get $150-200 for the doxie pups with no papers.
Find out how much it would cost to spay your female, add the cost of the puppy shots and wormings and divide by 6.





That should average out to about $75.
Charge enough that you can pay to get both of your dogs neutered.
