DOG BREEDING BUSINESS.
I am going to be very straight forward in this article. A lot of us know how profitable this business is. This business
is a highly profitable business as dogs gets pregnant like in every 6 months.
People are willing to pay good money for a good healthy breed. Some people keep
dogs for security while others keep dogs for pet.
To
show you how profitable this business is. I am going to show the pricing of

And
it goes on and on .
You
will be amazed to know that people are willing to pay as high to buy your puppy
especially when they are pure (100%) breed.
Training
these dogs are different from training just any dogs like our local Nigeria
dogs. To train these dogs and profit from it you need to understand some factors
such as the behaviour of different breeds. Breed behaves differently. You also
need to understand dog health issues. If you take your dogs health unserious,
you will lose everything. You need to understand their vaccines. Understand their
timings’. Don’t joke with vaccinations. Getting yourself trained is a critical
factor you must consider. Look around your area, city, state locate other dog
farms, and become trained.
Financing
is a very important factor you need to consider also. Getting these dogs are
quite expensive. Depending on what you have you can start with 2 dogs(a male
and a female) then grow from there.
Housing-
dog housing are not too expensive to build but you have to ensure you are
building it according to dog housing specifications. A dog house with good
ventilation and space will do.
Feeding-
feeding is another very important aspect you must consider,
Even
as you plan to start your dog farm. This is part of the things that will make
up your expenses at the end of the day. You can subscribe to a nearby restaurant
for food supply. Fast food resturants like mr bigs, mama cass can
collect like 5,000 to 10,000 naira every month just to make food
available for your dogs.
Health- get
all you need to know from veterinary doctors. Find out all the vaccine that
should be needed. DHLLP and Anti-rabies vaccine are two major vaccine
your dogs must take. Other things like bathing your dogs will also be helpful
as the soaps, shampoos for bathing these dogs contains substances that help
remove parasite from their body.
Marketing –
To market your puppies, you can place posters around places where you know your
dogs will be needed and don’t forget to include your phone number on such
posters.
Visit
farms- visit other forms around see what they are doing. Link up with other dog
breeders.
