Advise For Someone Who Wish To Go Into Dog Breeding Business. by Gkemz: 11:32am On Jun 06, 2017
I want to venture into a fulltime dog breeding business with area of interest on Boerboel mastiff, Neapolitan mastiff and Rottweilers and maybe little of Caucasian species.
I'm here to seek advise from professional dog breeders in this forum regarding these species as mentioned above. Do these species have strong and reliable market demand. Health wise, the hygiene factor are they disease resistant or are they prone to develop genetic disorder considering their huge size. The last but not the least is feeding, how often do they feed, what kind of food is perfect for them and how to go about sourcing for food. Finally, Is it proper to train these dogs to be very aggressive or that pet dog everyone wish to cuddle.
Your advise and suggestions are so much appreciated. Pls help a brother.
Before now, I've been into dog breeding business when i was assisting my elder brother during my university days, who specialized mainly in German Shepherd, Rottweilers, Caucasians, Great dane and english mastiff. It's been 5yrs since we parted ways and now i want to establish my own. I've been very passionate about dogs and i want to turn my passion for dogs into a profitable business.

Thanks bro. Although i don't think you understood my questions. I said I'm about to start, 90% ready. What i really need now is a professional advice so as to understand the fundamental of the business, the startup challenges and how to handle them, market demand. Not as if i don't have the basic knowledge but i need a full knowledge of the business. Nonetheless, I still appreciate ur advise.

Don't mislead the OP, you are a dog seller NOT a dog breeder. He requested for advise on breeding.

@OP, am not a breeder myself so I don't have much to tell you. However, in all my time in keeping dogs and getting to know other people who do, I have come to realize that the more successful breeders are those ones who specifically breed just one or two breeds and have carved a niche for themselves in doing so. Beginning with the four breeds you mentioned on your post may be very demanding for a beginner. My two pence, start with a single breed or two and get some experience on it before expanding to more breeds. I look forward to seeing your threads when your breeding activities kick off. Good luck.

You have already mentioned like 3 breeds. That's the mistake many Nigerian dog breeders make - keeping more than one breed. At the end of the day they cross breed and when the puppies arrive they are sold as one breed nor cross to unsuspecting buyers. Trust me it has happened to me. If I see someone with more than 1 breed I won't buy from them. Start with one breed and male and female. Let them be full breed and get from a reputable seller/breeder

Dog breeding is not profitable. Except you don't want to do things the right way.
Putting two dogs together and having puppies doesn't make you a breeder- far from it.
Venture into the business for the love and love alone.

Yes @princetobi kindly shed more light on the nonprofitability bit. I honestly feel the economy has forced pet enthusiasts to repriotize wants and needs. There's a high supply of pups/dogs and the pricing is just not as attractive as it once was. Only established breeders e.g Tox kennel jos still manage to sell at very decent prices and this is purely due to their vast network of clients. My top 4 ingredients for success:
1. Passion and love
2. Quality Breeding stock and the right ethics too
3. Get yourself into the right Whatsapp dog breeders groups (trust me.. U really need this for networking and education)
4. Doggedness and a never-give-up spirit. Sales & marketing isn't as easy as u think.
