I have been trying to start my own Pit Bull Kennel but I can't find any information anywhere about how to get a license, rules and regulations, any info would help. I am located in Texas if that matters. I only have two APBT's right now but I will be getting a few more pretty soon. Thanks for the help.

The first thing you need is two Pedigreed Pure Bleed dogs. Each of the dogs should have several Champions in his/her background The two must meet the standards of the breed. Heigth requirements, color, conformation, gait, eye color, temperament tested, ........................all breed specific. Health certificate, vaccinations, Xrays(?).......... Proper kennels and runs (no chains),
To get a license to breed you need to contact your County Animal Control Center, check with zoning to see if you even can, Get your kennels inspected if allowed.
Pay close attention to the genetic pool that you will be producing and be sure you are not breeding in faults that are breed specific or other wise, check for predisposed health issues so you can work with the genetics to eliminate it in your line. Keep the breed pure by breeding pure.

I agree with the above poster. Take some time to work with pit bull rescue (I'd say at least 6-12 months) before you decide to breed dogs, especially ones that seem to get tossed aside like pitties do. They are a nice breed, but there are so many of them that they shouldn't be intentionally bred except as working dogs (i.e.-drug detection dogs, service dogs, etc). Before breeding, ALL dogs (not just pit bulls) need to be 2 years old, have their hips and elbows done, be temperament tested, be checked for proper structure, be titled in a sport or work in a real life situation (or shown in conformation if it is a toy breed that didn't have a working purpose). If someone dropped a nuclear bomb on NYC and killed everyone there, that's how many animals die EVERY YEAR because of overpopulation and poor breeding. Try watching Animal Cops Houston on Animal Planet to see the affairs down in Texas. Once again, unless they are for a working purpose, they should not be intentionally bred. There are way too many of them and as much as I like them, they tend to attract the worst sorts of people, so you want to do extensive home and reference checks on any buyers.

Our local animal shelter has roughly 50 or 60 dogs on any given day. About 95% of those dogs are Pit Bulls. Reason: Nobody wants them after they've had them a little while. They are big, powerful animals, that require a lot of work. The were originally bred for violence. Why would you want to breed something like that?
I only bring that up, because the animal shelter people told me that they usually have to euthanize most of the pit bulls they have because people just don't want them.

You need to check your county ordinances ( each county is different) and see what they require you to have in the way of kennel licenses, individual dog licenses, and insurance, and also a business license. You also need to make sure your insurance knows you have the dogs because otherwise they can cancel you. My advice is don't do it. Pitbulls are too dangerous and you are not going to make money at this, it will just be a complete disaster.

there isnt the variety of element as a breeding enterprise different than the infamous domestic dog turbines advertising to puppy shops. there are people in touch in breeding canines specifically for searching, carrying, guarding, (kinfolk secure practices canines extremely expensive) herding, better half, and instruct uniqueness, and distinctive interest of persons wishing canines for bypass to floor etc. so the appropriate thank you to bypass approximately any involvement with canines is first, to connect a dogs club of the breed thrilling you, get to be responsive to pedigrees and understanding, and become energetic interior the events of the golf equipment. then perhaps the breed hobbies you adequate which you prefer to make contributions to its continuation....yet you have miles to bypass in the previous such an interest will become certainty.

horrible idea. dogs don't belong in such places. they are companion animals who deserve love, attention, affection, and the comfort of an inside home and are definitely not meant to be thrown in a backyard or anything of the sort. please reconsider if you have a heart.
