read the posting after yours on here please to see how to do it correctly...any breeder worth anything would make sure your dog meets this criteria. You can get all this done because he has 1 1/2 years before you can breed him anyway. IMO just because he is registered and his bloodlines are good doesn't mean anything, is he in conformation competition, where someone with a unbiased eye can see he is the perfect min pin? What will he bring to the mating to better the breed? How's his temperment? is he hyperactive, shy, aggressive? you'll need to wait till he's 2 yrs old to see how he will turn out as an adult. And you'll have to put up with his hormone driven marking and crazies for the next year and a half. Good luck...Ethel is correct on price, that's how I have known it also.
Your main problem will be finding someone with a Min Pin bitch that wants to use your dog. Unless he has rare bloodlines (unlikely) or unless he is a top winner in the showring (possible but unlikely as you don't seem to know much about breeding) then you will find it extremely unlikely that people will want to use him. The breeder would be the best person to advise you, as they will have no doubt studied pedigrees to produce puppies that are of benefit to the breed.
It is usually the owner of the bitch who decides whether to breed and what dog to use. Unfortunately Min Pins are not very common so there will be very few available bitches and the owners will most likely have their breeding plans mapped out for generations ahead.

hi,thanks for all your help,i dont know too much about breeding dogs..only horses!! the min pins mother was a winner at crufts.i did sign a contract for the dog to go back to the breeder if unwanted.if i had returned within the first 6 wks i would get a full refund on him.ill haver a chat with my breeder anyway.thanks guys xx
The breeder may well have put an 'endorsement' on the registration, to say that no progeny could be registered, if so this would need to be lifted by a letter to the Kennel Club from the breeder, which they would probably only do if they thought it was good enough to breed from and had been tested free from any hereditary defects. Min Pins can suffer from patella luxation (slipping kneecaps) and also eye conditions.
If you know about breeding horses, you will probably realise that you wouldn't take your mare to any old horse up the road, you would find a stallion that would produce something that you wanted. Its the same with dogs, owners of bitches plan their matings carefully with a view
to improving on what they have got. Let the breeder know you would be willing to allow your dog to be used and they may have a bitch or know someone who has that your dog would suit.
