Dog breeding is not so much a business as such, but a way of life - a pure "pragmatist" will not agree with its negative aspects. The income that can be obtained by selling bred puppies will not be proportional to the investments and efforts that will be required to keep the dogs. Therefore, the very idea of organizing a nursery is more suitable for those for whom life surrounded by four-legged creatures already seems attractive in itself.
It is necessary
- 1. Diploma of graduation from an educational institution in a zootechnical or veterinary specialty
- 2. Consent of the local RKF organization to register the cattery
- 3. Room and area for walking dogs
- 4. Breeding bitch that meets the requirements of the RKF
Instructions
Step 1
Register your future kennel with a local organization representing the Russian Kennel Federation. According to the rules of the RKF, a person who has reached the age of 18 and has a zootechnical or veterinary education has the right to maintain a dog kennel. If you have not received the appropriate diploma, you can organize an "enterprise" engaged in breeding four-legged dogs together with another dog breeder who has completed the required training course.
Step 2
Consider where the dog kennel you intend to open will be located. You can start a business in an apartment, but with some expansion, the tightness in space will cause a lot of inconvenience to you and a lot of harm to your pets. For a full-fledged nursery, you will definitely need a country house with an area for walking. Fresh air is one of the most important conditions for breeding healthy and physically complete puppies.
Step 3
Organize the space at your disposal in such a way that it is divided into non-communicating zones. So, the room for puppies should be completely separated from the main enclosure, sick dogs should also be kept in an isolation ward, where access to all other pets will be closed.
Step 4
Get a "pedigree" bitch for your kennel - it is she who should give rise to the existence of your "dog farm". Requirements for such an animal are four generations of pedigree and high marks at the official exhibitions of the RKF. For breeding dogs of service and hunting breeds, the breeding bitch must also pass a number of standards and receive the appropriate diplomas.
