Is Dog Business Still Profitable In 2023? by mubarak89(m): 4:14pm On May 04, 2023

Hmm! As a dog lover and breeder I'll tell you no. Reason is that if you go in strictly for making money most likely would be disappointed. But if you are a dog lover you can keep your dogs(male or female) and if you can use ur male as a stud or sell puppies from your female. But if u go in strictly for making money and you are not a dog lover you may most likely be disappointed.

Let's say you get a puppy @ 8weeks you'll have to feed and take care of the puppy for at least a year before it becomes sexually mature. You also have medications to take care of. Average cost of puppies over here in Jos is from 80k to 300k depending on the Pedigree. A bag of foreign feed now depending on the brand averaged from 40-60k for a 15kg bag which lasts for a short period if you would be feeding pure dry food. You can formulate your feed but believe me the difference would be clear compared to dry and raw food feeding.

Also let's say you really take care of your dogs and the get to sexual maturity after a year. You are already on another phase. It is advisable to skip your first heat (reason is that the female is still growing and pregnancy would distort that process) If you cross your female @ first heat then just know that she would never reach her genetic potential (especially height and bone structure).
You might ask why is it important. Some buyers of puppies like to see the parents of puppies before purchasing. So no matter the Pedigree of the female the pregnancy is most likely going to make the female look like a lesser Pedigree than what it actually is.

Next is crossing your female, I've seen so many people miss their dogs heat(U'll have to wait for another 6 months for another heat) Do you have the time to check on your dogs daily. Let's also say your dog comes on heat what day do you mate it with a stud(very important). Let's say you mate successfully you'll have to manage the pregnancy for the next 60 days. Guess what? Successfully mating does not mean automatic pregnancy. So at this point it's up to mother nature. Even if you want to run tests for pregnancy after mating your dog and the results are negative guess what? You'll have to wait for another 6 months This they don't tell you trust me. Another 6 months of feeding and medications and labor

If mother nature helps and your dog gets pregnant. As a first time pregnancy you'll have to keep monitoring your female bumper to bumper from day 55-65. If your dog litters another work don start. Some puppies might be weaker than others and it's survival of the fittest so if you are not around to physically aid weak puppies get milk. Na dead pup u fit come meet. Another issue is some females have poor mothering abilities and may sleep on her puppies (this they don't also tell you). So for first time pregnancy you'll have to be very vigilant.

If you are lucky and your puppies get to 3weeks another work do start which is supplementary feeding(biggest secret of selling puppies) You'll have to try your best to get the best food possible. The higher the Pedigree of your dog the richer the food should be. Because you bought your puppy 300k doesn't mean you'll sell yours that price(this they don't also tell you) believe me to feed puppies to reach a particular standard na money oh. And if you feed to that standard do you have the clientele that can remove money buy the puppies at exotic prices

Well said CzarBillion.. If you go into dog breeding for the sole purpose of making money then you’re heading to disaster. The cost of feeding dogs these days is enough to raise a family.

Doberman is a very nice breed......quite uncommon to see pedigree here .
A popular nairalander had to search for months across states before he got 2 good ones.
If you have good stock.....you will definitely sell very well.

anything and everything is STILL PROFITable if you do your homework and go about it well.

Also goes without saying, one shouldn't go into something without interest else the frustrations would get to you easier and faster.

Imagine spending on the dogs so they have good body weight, looks, etc, caring for when they're pregnant up till it gives birth.

That's lots of money and if you don't spend, the market value, irrespective of the breed would be low.

and you need know when to just cut prices so as to sell faster else you go continue to spend on feeding, vaccines, medications, etc.

If you do your homework well, you shouldn't have much issues navigating the waters. As with everything thing - expect issues along the way
