How to Get the Most Money for My Toy Poodles

Toy poodles are a smaller breed of poodle than standard poodles; toy poodles are small lap dogs. Reputable toy poodle breeders breed their dogs to create puppies that make better pets and show dogs. Puppies born that fit show guidelines for toy poodles are sold to dog trainers and showers. Puppies which cannot win dog shows are sold as pets; selling pet toy poodle puppies allows breeders to make back money invested in breeding. Making the most money possible from selling your toy poodle puppies gives you money to re-invest in your next litter.

Instructions

    • 1

      Socialize toy poodle puppies with other dogs, pets and people of all ages. Early socialization creates puppies that are adaptable and safer around kids and pets.

    • 2

      Use a dog crate to keep your toy poodle puppies in at night with their mother until they are old enough to sleep alone. Toy poodle puppies used to kennels are used to behaving quietly and calmly at night.

    • 3

      Neuter your toy poodle puppies before attempting to sell them as pets. Neutered male puppies have lowered aggression and neutered puppies have less health risks; neutered puppies are worth more to people who want to save money and time by not having the procedure performed themselves.

    • 4

      Document your toy poodle puppies' breeding history. The farther back you can trace your toy poodle puppies' family history, the better; dogs whose parents or grandparents had cancer are more likely to have cancer. Toy poodle puppies with a documented healthy family lineage are worth more money.

    • 5

      Notify local veterinarians and dog showers that you are selling toy poodle puppies; these people regularly speak to potential puppy buyers who already have dogs.

    • 6

      Advertise in local newspapers and national pet magazines. People that live near you may purchase a toy poodle puppy but people in other states may buy poodle puppies from you as well. Out-of-state purchases are made by people looking for a high quality poodle and are willing to search nationally for their ideal pet.
