Do you need a breeding license or something to breed your dogs and sell theor pups??

Question

We just got a new girl dog and right now we have a boy dog and we want them to make babys to sell them but do you need a breeding licence or something like that to breed your dogs and sell them??

Answer 1

Ok, well here's close to 30 yrs. of breeding pros and cons,, and a little reality too. Way to often over the years people have come to look at and buy my pups and you can see it in their eyes.....They see a litter of 10 pups and a little lite goes off in their head, 10 pups= $5-6K$. - it aint like dat-,, 500.00 dog less.....

24-48 hrs. no sleep, as soon as they start to drop and after they're down making sure mom doesn't lay on or neglect them and they fail.

hope you don't mind getting your hands dirty,, because you Will wind up having to help. Often two will come close together and mom will be busy gettin one out of the bag, and You will be busy getting the other one out of it's bag. Or there will be one large pup you may have to help get out.

Don't let newborns get away from or be pushed away for more than 20 minutes, they'll loose their core temp. and fail.

Sometimes, usually first whelp, delivery will make the St. Valentines Day massacre look like a knee scrape, blood and green guts everywhere.

And that was the fun part......

Now you're going to give your own shots right, know how??, or you going to pay your vet 2-300.00 for ea. set of 3 shots?

Cost of shavings( ongoing), puppy enviroment,
multiple enviroment cleanings daily until they can be outside weather permitting.

Ever watch how fast 10 pups go through 50lbs. of food, more enjoyable to shoot hole in your gastank for fun and profit. Not to mention feeding the adults all year. Cost of registration.

Cost of vet-check on litter, cost of advertising, cost to re-landscape your backyard. And after your female is past her prime, the cost to nueter a pup is 75.00, cost to nueter an 8 yr. old is 4-800.00.

Enjoy taking work off during the week? hope so, because you sell more pups during the week than on weekends. It's a fact.

Yeah 5-6K$, right, it aint like that. So why do it?
Because you love and marvel the breed. And you know the enjoyment another human being will have with that pup and that breed. But if you are going to do it, here's a couple of rules... 1- Never ever take a check, not even from God and he has a second ID. 2- from time to time you'll wind up with a last pup who's getting older, Never ever sell a 500.00 dog for 200.00 to get rid of it. The person who pays 500.00 wants that dog and will take care of their investment. Whoever pays 200.00 couldn't care less if it gets picked up as tomorrows roadkill. If you have a last pup, you find it a home and give it away before you sell it for 200.00. And 3- sell your pups as "limited registration" ( look up def. elsewhere) so as not to dirty the genepool in your area.

Good luck and enjoy

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there is no liscense required to breed dogs, but there should be.

There is a lot of responsibility in breeding dogs. Breeding should really only be done if the parents are proven champions and have the titles to prove it. You have to spend the money to have both the mom and dad health certified (hips, eyes, etc...) and this shouldn't be done until 1-2 yrs old. If either potential parent doesn't pass health certification, then they SHOULD NOT BE BRED as there is the potential to pass on genetic deffects to any litter they have. A female should never be bred until she is at least 2 yrs old as younger than this, her body is not mature enough to safely have a litter. So in this waiting period to this proper age, a breeder has to be diligent about not letting the two dogs breed accidentally, too soon. This also brings the heartache of a male crying and making a lot of noise each time the female is in heat. Once the female is pregnant, there are regular vet check ups to make sure she's doing okay and increased feeding to accomodate her pregnancy. There's also the possibility that she may have complications delivering and need a C-section, which is a costly surgery, but may be the only way to save her life and the life of the pups. Once the puppies arrive, then there is the cost for worming, check ups with the vets and beginning their shots.

Once the puppies are ready to go to homes, then there is the need to check each interested party out, thoroughly to ensure the pups go to homes that are appropriate (for example, you don't send a Border Collie to a home where everyone is a couch potato). Once the puppies are placed, a good breeder is willing to take a puppy back at any time, at any age, for any reason.

Just because a dog has papers doesn't mean it is proper breeding material. Please do the homework before getting to that point to make sure you know what you are getting into.

Answer 3

I don't believe so, but I wish you did. I'm not saying that you're a bad person or anything. I just wish there were stricter laws with dogs. I wish they would do regularly strict checks on all breeders to make sure they do everything right and know everything there is to know about breeding. I also wish there was a law that breeders can only have so many puppies a year. There are just so many unwanted dogs that end up getting put down. There are also dogs that have bad temperaments and health problems that suffer because of bad breeding. Please, if you plan on breeding,register and study EVERYTHING there is to know about it. Also, please make sure not to over breed or inbreed. Please also make sure your dog and the female dog have very good temperaments. Don't do it because it will "just be so cute to have puppies around!" or for money. Make sure you thoroughly check out the people you give the puppies to. Make sure they know a lot about the breed and what they are getting into. I would even go as far as to make sure they take some kind of training class if they never had a dog or that breed of dog before. Always have the puppies and the people you sell the puppies to be more important than the money you get.

Answer 4

You just can't do that without knowledge. (breed your dogs). You breed to make the specific breed better not just for puppies. If you are going to be a responsible breeder, Yes you need to register you dogs with AKC or another legitemate breeders organization and check with your state for the licensing information , but my guess is yes you will need a license. You can find any breeding and breeder information from the AKC or CKC websites. Also, a good breeder not only makes sure their dogs are the best of the breed to assure a better puppy but must also consider the temperament as that can be passed down to the litter. If you are doing it for money, forget it. It takes lots of money to breed and take care of a litter. Tests for bother the male and female before breeding for certain diseases, tests for the ***** during pregnancy, xrays and blood tests for the ***** as well as tests and shots for the ***** after welping. Tests and shots for the pups, dew claw removal, tail docking if necessary and various other expenses. These are the normal expenses if nothing goes wrong. In that case, you are looking at mucho money! Then before breeding you must have a list of responsible owners to purchase the pups. After all the care you put into the pups (sometimes being up for days to feed the pups every 2 hours if the ***** cannot), you do not want to see them in an abusive home or in the human society or dog pound.

Educate yourself then decide. Good Luck!

Answer 5

So in other words, you want to be one of those backyard breeders who breed their dogs for money resulting in over population of dogs being euthanized in the pound because there are not enough homes for them?

No you don't need a license. If you want to become a proper (professional) breeder, you need to do more than just stick your dogs outside for a few hours and 9 weeks later, yay, you have puppies.

You need to register your dogs with the AKC or another kennel club.
You need to start getting your dogs into the show ring (if they meet the standards and are of show quality).

You need to invest time and money into professionally breeding your dogs. If all you want is your bitc* to produce cute little puppies for money; go and grow a heart.

Before you do ANYTHING; visit your local ASCPA and ask how many puppies are euthanized EACH DAY. Then consider breeding. The world does not need any more homeless pets to end up in shelters.

Answer 6

A person requires a Dog Breeding License if they keep a breeding establishment for dogs at any premises and carry on a business of breeding dogs for sale at those premises. A person will be treated as carrying on a business of breeding dogs if litters are born to five or more bitches in any 12 month period unless none of them is sold.

Answer 7

no but if you breed for a living then you will need one because the county will need to know what type of work you are doing and to make sure that it is suitable for your area, and that it won't bother the neighbors. but if you only do it a couple times then no you don't. just don't breed for the money do it because you love the dogs. do alot of reading on breeding because it will take alot out of you and it does cost money to do it. i breed golden retrievers and it can cost me from $400.00- $1000.00 to care for the mother and careing for the unborn pups. just make sure that you are prepared to do it and that you know what you are doing.

but if you are asking about needing a breeding license then you are not ready to breed. think about it first before you get into it. i know people that have bred, thought that it would be fun and exciting but when they did it, they said that they would not do it again. people that breed for the money are called "puppy mills". not saying that you will do this but think about it first before you start bringing puppies into this world. it can get overwhelming and very stressful. i am just saying please think about it first. also when people breed for money they sell what they can and then the rest end up at the shelter and when they can't find homes they are put down and that is not fair, so please get information on breeding before you breed, because i would hate to see more helpless puppies end up at the shelters for no reason. good luck.

Answer 8

What you want to do is called backyard breeding. No you do not have to get a licence however breeders that are listed ( meaning they have a licence) are more trusted by the public, meaning the pups will more likely be bought. Usually registered breeders sell their pups for more.

Answer 9

all of us is stupid.. they beleive they're getting some "new" or "uncommon" breed. They fall for the lies that those breeders tell.. like "non laying off" "hypoallergenic" "fit than purebreds" "would be known by the AKC genuine quickly!" "you get the superb traits from the two breeds" and so on. those breeders additionally use the excuse that "all purebreds have been mixes at one time" additionally, "hybrid" is an inproper term to apply. A hybrid animal is the consequence of breeding 2 diverse species.. consisting of once you breed a horse and a donkey, you get a mule. All breeds of dogs are the comparable specie.. there are only diverse ameliorations interior the specie with the aid of selective breeding (kinda like how human beings have diverse traits consisting of hair and pores and skin shade, yet yet we are all nevertheless people). added: Horses are customary as Equus caballus Donkies are customary as Equus asinus comparable family members, yet are diverse species. The offspring is a hybrid animal, that's sometimes sterile. If horses and donkies have been the comparable specie, a mule might additionally be waiting to reproduce. All family members canines are Canis lupus familiaris. added: those canines are actually not "breeds", they're only mutts! All purebreds we've immediately have been created over many generations of selective breeding. A dogs isn't seen purebred till it breeds genuine for no less than 6 generations.. which capacity, for no less than 6 generations the canines have been popping out having the comparable oftentimes going on: hair form, length, shade, temperment, artchronic and so on. lots of those designers are only from 2 purebreds prepare.. they do no longer rapidly get the superb traits. Even 2 doggies from the comparable clutter can seem plenty diverse! i recognize of two people who've "cockapoos" from the comparable clutter. One seems greater like apoorly bred white poodle, or maybe has a poodlish coat, and the different seems greater like a buff cocker, with greater of a curly cocker coat. the folk who're breeding them are actually not breeding in the direction of particular traits.. only throwing canines mutually and hoping something lovable comes out! lots of those poodle mixes extremely have funky coats that are a horror to groom.. a labradoodle often sheds like a lab, yet has the curly poodle coat.

Answer 10

This depends on where you live and the laws that they have. In most cases here in the US you do need to be registered with the county or state.

HOWEVER, unless you are an experienced breeder, or have worked with one and know EXACTLY what you are doing.. I would STRONGLY encourage you to not breed your animals. (especially if it is not to preserve pure breed bloodlines) there are WAY to many dogs waiting for adoption in kennels all around the country.
Be a responsible pet owner. Please get your animals spayed and neutered as soon as possible.
