Check your state and local licensing requirements first. Breeding regulations vary wildly by state, and some cities ban commercial breeding outright.
Veterinary costs are your biggest variable expense. Build a relationship with a vet who works with breeders. Volume pricing matters.
Start with one breed. Specialization builds reputation faster than variety, and buyers pay premiums for focused expertise.
Health testing is non-negotiable. Buyers who pay top dollar expect OFA, CERF, and breed-specific genetic panels. Cut corners here and your reputation tanks fast.
The median income here is $103,740. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
