Running a dog breeding business isn't easy. Starting this type of business requires a significant investment of time and effort as well as money for dogs, licensing and veterinarian care. The business can be rewarding if you love a particular breed and have the patience to develop your business gradually. The following is a simple guild line on how to start a dog breeding business

Step 1

Study the particular dog breed in which you are interested. You can do this through the websites of breeding associations, dog enthusiast websites and books. If you can find a dog breeder who is willing to mentor you, working with her may be helpful.

Step 2

Research the laws in your area by contacting your city's department of licenses and inspections or the county clerk's office. You may need a special license or permit to breed dogs or keep more than a few on your property. Some jurisdictions may also require you to register as a kennel. Determine if you need zoning approval if your home or property isn't registered for business use.

Step 3

Apply for a general business license, required in many jurisdictions even if you've obtained permits required to run a breeding business.

Step 4

Obtain dog breeder's insurance to cover you in the event your dogs become ill or are injured or attack a person or another dog. Policies may also provide dog death benefits as well as property and equipment damage.

Step 5

Decide whether you will purchase female dogs, male dogs or both. If you have both, you won't have to worry about negotiating contracts with other breeders or dealing with the shipment of semen. If you maintain male dogs, you won't have the monetary responsibility and time commitment of caring for a pregnant female and eventually, her puppies. You may, however, enjoy owning females, watching them give birth and caring for their puppies.
