One of the most lucrative home-based business you can do nowadays is dog breeding.

I have a couple of friends who are into it and they say that breeding dogs for profit has become one of their major sources of extra income.

But how do you start a dog breeding business?

Do you just buy a male and female dog, let them mate and then sell the puppies?

I’ve interviewed my friends about their “hobby” and this is what I’ve found out. Hopefully, these information can help you get started into dog breeding.

What are the requirements when starting a dog breeding business?
The most important requirement is that you must love dogs. If you cannot be a “dog’s best friend”, then you have no right to do business with man’s best friend. This is a must.

Remember, dogs have that “scent” – which should be okay with you. And since you plan on breeding, then you have to be willing to handle the mating and birthing of your dogs which can be “icky” at times – if you know what I mean.

In general, if you don’t mind your dog sleeping beside you in bed and you have no problems with them licking you all over the face, then you should be okay at the very least.

Moreover, there’s a need to consider the people in your household and your neighbors. They must be open to the idea of having lots of dogs in the house – and likewise be tolerant of the scent and all the barking.

But keep in mind that loving dogs is not enough, you should also be interested and passionate enough about them that you’re willing to study and do research.

Study? Research?
Yes, it’s important that you know the different breeds of dogs – their history, genetics, pedigrees, characteristics and temperament.

Moreover, you should also be informed in the proper health care, breeding and mating techniques of dogs. There are so many resources out there and it won’t be difficult to find them, the real question is if you’ll be patient and committed enough to learn.

Let’s say everything checks out so far, so how do I start the business?
Technically, the very first thing you should do is to decide the specific breed you want to focus on. Choose the breed that appeals to you most, and start from there.
