No one on this forum, who knew what they were talking about, would EVER condone putting a female in with two males. Ever. I don't care what their age is. If you read that, then you read it wrong.
Zappa - You seriously need to take a step back and stop acting like you know everything about chins. Start learning about them for a while or you are just going to continue screw up.
It takes seconds for a male to impregnate a female. A female can become pregnant as early as 8 weeks. Yes, it's happned before. I am putting this in bold, italicized, underlined text so you cannot possibly miss it, and later when your female turns up pregnant, there will be no way for you claim you didn't know.
You are not going to get papers from a pet store, and the only reason you would need papers is if you were considering breeding. Pet stores get their chins from a wholesaler (vendor). The wholesaler doesn't take papers when he collects the chins. He could care less. He hands the breeder his money then takes all the chins back to his warehouse where he puts them in cages and then divides them up for different contracts. The guy at the pet store has no CLUE where that chin came from, it's age, or anything else. Unless he's one of the very few pet stores who either breed their own or buy from a local breeder, he will never give you anything that isn't made up. For the ones who buy locally, why would he give you a pedigree? Then you could go straight to the breeder and buy your chins rather than from him.
I see a "breader" happening here in the next few months and I'm going to tell you right now, you are going to get shot down hard if you do it with your pet store, nonpedigreed chins. I know all the major forums that support breeders, and none of them are going to condone backyard garbage breeding. The pet only forums will eat you alive.
Get mad if you want, I don't care. This needs to be said. Rescuers everywhere are filled up with the offspring from your type of breading. Nonpedigreed breeding stock, or totally crap animals that have had not been evaluated, put together because someone felt like it. Everybody who puts a male and a female together, whether they admit or not, are secretly hoping she'll get pregnant. There isn't a person on this forum who doesn't realize that. That may make you a crap "breader", it certainly doesn't make you a responsible breeder.
