Answer 1

lol this is a better worded question than your others. I would say start with MUCH a smaller number, maybe get 2 or 3 females and a few males. after you get the hang of it then think about acquiring more dogs. if you're thinking about breeding show dogs get yourself known before getting into it so deep with 300 or even 200 dogs, think small at first then work your way up. never do more than you can handle, the best way to find out is start small and work your way up to what feels right.

while i have to agree with some other answerers that htere are already too many homeless pets in the world, show dogs are always in demand and purebreds. I'd much rather see people adopting purebreeds form someone who care about their animals, which you say you do, than a puppy mill. so good luck with your idea.

I just hope you consider what I said about starting small. even puppy mills don't start with 300 dogs or even have 300 dogs, they'll all have a bunch of puppies and you'll need to find a home for them, so you need to consider the demand for dogs in your area, and only breed enough to meet the demand,or else you'll b stuck with hundreds of puppies. ever think about getting males and offering to stud them? there is good money in that and you won't have to worry about what to do with the puppies.

again, whatever you decide I wish you luck!

becoming a good and reputable breeder is a hard and tedious job. if you love dogs, it's rewarding, but financially... you barely break even, if that. the vet bills for the mother before, during, and after pregnancy can become enormous, not to mention the testing for genetic diseases. most breeders make their money by winning shows with their best dogs or more often, having a boarding kennel or training facilities on the side. also, no true breeder would have 250 dogs at once. at that point, the dogs become products and not individuals. what you're looking to do sounds more like a puppy mill. also, "hobby breeding" is more commonly known as "backyard breeding," something else that real breeders look down upon because it brings down the quality of the breed when undedicated hobbyists think it'd be fun to have some puppies to sell.

Well start out with the largest you can have more puppies you know those pits they have 6-8 puppies at a a time. she should be ready to breed soon. Oh wouldn't it be cute to to have pitshire terriers now you will some tiny puppies to carry around in your coach hand bag. Then the maltese and chihuahua you can have 3-5 of those wouldn't they be cute they can be called a malchi also another great purse hand bag candidate I think you can sell those for $5000.00 each they are great for allergy suffers too. And last but no least you can breed the jack russel terrier and yorkie and have some darling lil jorkies absolute darling cuties great for any active dog owner. It will take quite a few matings and successful breeding's to have those micro, mini. and teacup puppies you imagine selling one day. Just imagine $5000.00 for a puppy. You would have tons of money to improve your kennels you know no mesh flooring, enough room to turn around and don't forget high quality kibble you know like innova not that cheap garbage.

Breeding should ONLY be done for the betterment of the breed. You do not realize how much trouble BAD breeding has caused. Dogs that die of cancer... dogs with hip problems, knee problems, inbred, mutts, even dogs that "snap" and attack someone, this can be genetic.

You are not horrible for thinking of this, but it is not a good idea. Leave breeding to experts. A good breeder keeps meticulous records, factors in genetics, and depending on the breed, does certain tests for genetic problems in a dog. If a dog is not a perfect specimen of the breed, it is never bred!

Not to mention, every dog you bring into this world you have the responsibility of finding a good home for. Each puppy you place in a home is taking a potential home away from a dog in a shelter somewhere possibly waiting on death row to be put to sleep because it has no home!

Answer 5

Oh.My.God....
BYB ALERT!!!

Seriously, hobby breed? 300 to much? 250? What are you? Oh...a money hungry, ignorant punk who has NO CLUE what you are saying!!!

Can you afford to feed, vaccinate, care for that many dogs? Or are you going to stick them in teeny weeny crates to live in fecec in malnourishment for as long as they will pump out puppies? Have you ever heard of a puppy mill??????

Um...do a search moron. We don't need thousands and thousands of more puppies and dogs born just to DIE!!!!!!

I can't take it! All these stupid questions about breeding, adding to the dog over population, by people with no care or concern as to what will happen to the puppies once they leave....

Unbelieveable!!! If you volunteered at a shelter, as I have and do, and you've taken in animals that were ditched to die, as I have and do, then you would be just a little pissy about a question like this as well....

Grow up and get a real job!!!

Breeding responsibly costs money...it doesn't make you rich!!!

Answer 6

Its not the best thing for an animal to continue to breed and the ones that do don't live long. There are probably restrictions in your town too and if you are serious you should look into that. What bothers me is that it isn't a good life for the animals to just be used to breed. If you love dogs, do them a favor and take a couple into your home and make them part of your family - love them and treat them well. Take them for walks and play with them. Give them lots of attention. That's what they will thrive on.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as hobby breeding. It takes a lot of time, effort and money. It is not something that you go into as a hobby. If it is for money, find some other way.

Answer 8

My advice to you is to get a life, and not think about harming animals. There is no such thing as hobby breeding. What will you do with all the puppies?

Tell you what. If you want to hobby-breed, then go out and get yourself bred on a daily basis.

Answer 9

I feel sorry for any of the dogs you stick in those cages that never get the attention, love and affection that they need. Just to be breeding machines. You are an idiot.

Answer 10

I agree with libertydog! I am sick to death of all the ingrates on here who want to breed just to make money, it is SICKENING and all of you are PATHETIC.

If you really, truly, honestly loved animals, you would know that shelters across the US are CRAMMED.....and you would want to help END the problem, not ADD to it!!

All of you people should be tortured and shot! It is because of morons like you that there are so many poor homeless pets in the shelters.....just let it be somebody else's mess to clean up, right? As long as you have your money, who cares, right??

WRONG, D***HEAD!!!!!!!!
