Hello all, i just want to clear my doubts regarding dog breeding issues. As to my particular's i have just finished my college and planning to open a dog breeding farm. What are the requirements for that?What is the fee for breeding male and female dog?What paperworks or permission is needed from government to set up a dog breeding business?

Please, don't. We have more than enough dogs dying in shelters every day that we do not need "dog breeding farms." The correct term for a breeding facility that produces large quantities of puppies just to sell them is "Puppy Mill." There is a saying that is popular among reputable breeders and shelter workers: If you have to ask, you are not ready to breed. If you really want to breed, start attending dog shows and decide what breed you'd like to work with. Once you know which breed will fit best with your lifestyle, start talking with the breeders that are at the shows. Dog show folk are very friendly and if you ask them nicely, they might be able to find someone who can mentor you and teach you how to breed correctly and ensure that your puppies will be healthy and will find wonderful permanent homes. If you will not give up your idea to build a "dog breeding farm" my only request is that you go to your local shelter and spend a day in the euth room, to see what happens when people get bored of puppies they buy from breeding farms, such as the ones you'll be providing them with.
