Breeding dogs for an extra income from home
If you love dogs, and have a large yard with a high wall or a good fence, and you can take good care of dogs, then why not consider breeding dogs for a bit of an extra income?
Once you are sure your city or town, or the area in which you live allows you to keep quite a few dogs on your premises, perhaps consider starting small: you don’t have to have purebred dogs to start out – as long as there are quite a few people you are in contact with, or if you’re happy to do a bit of advertising, because cute puppies sell!
It may also be a good idea to start your dog breeding business with small dogs that don’t eat too much! You don’t want the expense of feeding your dogs to be more than what you can make from selling their puppies.
You may also want to browse through ads in the local paper, or visit a few websites to get an idea of how much the different breeds of dogs sell for, before getting yourself a new dog or two.
Visiting a few websites related to dogs, the care of dogs and puppies, and the different breeds, can also help with deciding which dogs to buy.
In South Africa, you should apply to register your purebred puppies and dogs with KUSA. Selling KUSA registered purebred puppies should usually fetch you a better price.
So what kinds of dogs are you going to buy (and sell)? Cheeky little chihuahua’s, or big friendly labradors, speedy and stocky little jack russells, or muscular boxers, short-haired and short-legged corgis, or large and sleek long-haired afghans?
Please do not consider breeding dogs if you and your family do not love dogs!

Hello! Just had to chime in. I really enjoyed this blog. Keep up the good work.
I truly enjoyed reading this write-up.Thanks.
Kusa is not the only registry that register dogs that are purebreds, the SACBR dogs are fetching the same prices and even higher prices for the sole reason, people starting to know that breeders that are controlled under a studbook breeding to a Code of Ethics that is flawless, the SACBR also only have accredited breeders that kusa only started way after them. Kusa is great so is the SACBR a family orientated registry that does not allow any form of commercial breeding or breeders.
I want to start to breed with various dogs, we stay on a 61 ha small holdings. can you supply us with more info please.
Regards
Extra income should be the last reason to breed dogs. I am shocked and disgusted that such a post is even on this website. Breeding for money (“Cute puppies for sale!….”great addition to the family” with no other information provided about the breed) is the reason why the animal shelters are full of unwanted dogs. Those breeders mostly focus on the money and do not inform potential owners about what it entails to keep the particular breed of dog they are getting. Often no thought is put into the pedigrees or lines that are being bred, resulting in a “weaker” specimen of the species. A whelping bitch needs special nutrition in order to feed her puppies, in the time leading up to mating, up until well after her pups are weaned, to get her back into good condition. The pups have to be vaccinated and microchipped and the list goes on and on. Why do you think that responsible, registered breeders charge so much for the pups? Not for profit. Breeding should be done only after very careful consideration of the impact that that litter of puppies will have on the world has been done. Which homes will you place them in? Will you take them back if the new owners can no longer take care of them? How will you contribute to the improvement and future existence of the breed? THINK before you BREED
@ Mona – thank you for your comment and we hope all our readers take good note of your comment. The points you have made are very good points indeed, and we did not mean that if anybody needs extra income to go out and start breeding dogs to earn that extra income. The plan was that IF PEOPLE LOVE DOGS, to consider breeding them for extra income. We see that we should perhaps add extra points to the article a bit or further highlight the points about being sure not to consider breeding dogs if you do not love dogs. Your points are very valid, and we hope to rewrite the article really soon, to better show what we actually meant: that people could consider breeding dogs for a bit of extra income, if they love and enjoy dogs, rather than when their dogs have puppies, drop them at the side of the road.
