Introduction

Deciding to become a dog breeder is not an easy decision. It requires a lot of research, as well as time and money invested in raising and caring for puppies. And that decision doesn’t end there! Once you start breeding dogs, you’ll have to make important decisions about what kind of breeder you want to be. Are you passionate about showing your dogs? Or are you more interested in producing healthy pets who have working potential? This quiz will help determine what kind of dog breeder would best fit with your personality and goals.

You enjoy training your dog when you have time, but you’re happy to turn your dog over to a professional trainer.

You enjoy training your dog when you have time, but you’re happy to turn your dog over to a professional trainer.
You don’t mind paying for professional training because it’s worth it in the long run.

This is a great way of thinking about this question and can help you understand why we think you might be an easygoing breed of dog breeder. If you have time for training and want to do it yourself, but are willing to pay the cost of hiring a professional if needed, then that says something about how much investment in your puppies’ well-being means to them!

You have a strong sense of what you want your kennel to look like in the future.

You have a vision for your kennel, and you’re working on it every day. You know what you want your kennel to look like in the future and are doing everything possible to get there.

You are confident in your ability to judge dogs and match puppies with prospective owners.

If you’re a confident dog breeder, you have a good sense of the qualities that make a good dog. You know what you are looking for in a dog and you are able to recognize it when you see it. You have a good idea of what kind of dog would be best for your lifestyle, whether that means having an active puppy who will grow up to be an adventure buddy or enjoying the companionship of a laid back senior dog who loves naps and doesn’t mind being left alone once in awhile.

If this sounds like you, great! You can move on to the next section where we will talk about some strategies on how to find your perfect pup.

You always know where your dogs are.

You know where they are at all times and have a system in place to make sure you can find them if they get lost. Your dogs never wander off, either because they are too well-behaved or because you have put up fencing.

You don’t mind spending your vacation money on another dog.

You are committed to the breed, and you want to make sure that every puppy that comes into your life has a good home with plenty of attention and love. You are willing to put in the time and effort needed to ensure that all of your dogs are healthy, happy and well trained. You would never consider selling or giving away one of your pups unless it was going to be a wonderful addition to another family’s life.

You have a passion for dogs, and you know how special they can be—especially when they’re part of the family!

Your family supports your decision to breed dogs.

Before you start breeding dogs, you need to make sure that your family is on board with the idea. This is especially true if you are married and have children. Your spouse and kids should understand why you want to breed dogs, what steps are involved in doing so and how it will affect the rest of their lives (for example, an increase in household responsibilities). If they don’t like what they hear—or if there’s any doubt about their support for your decision—then consider waiting until everyone’s mind is made up before pursuing breeding as a career choice.

You always know where the money is going to come from when you need it.

You always know where the money is going to come from when you need it. This is important, because when you’re a dog breeder, there are always little expenses that pop up.

There are all kinds of things that can go wrong with dogs: a dog gets sick or injured and needs veterinary care; one of your dogs has puppies and suddenly you have even more mouths to feed (and poop clean) than usual; someone else wants to buy one of your puppies—and so on. Having a plan for how much money each month goes toward caring for the dogs allows you to budget effectively, especially if one day something unexpected happens like needing emergency surgery on one of your older dogs.

You would never sell a dog to someone who wanted it solely as a security measure or status symbol.

If you’ve been following along, you already know that we believe dogs should be treated like family. We do not support any type of breeding that results in puppies being bought and sold as a mere status symbol or security measure. This is why we ask our customers to make adoption plans for their puppies before they are even born—in order to ensure that every member of our dog family has a forever home waiting for them at the end of their puppyhood.

We don’t take this commitment lightly; it’s one of the reasons why we were personally so excited when California recently passed a new law requiring pet stores to sell only rescue animals or commercial breeders whose practices meet certain standards (like ours). This change has forced many pet stores across the state to shut down their puppy sales operations altogether, and has allowed us at HappyBuddies Kennel Club to focus even more on our core mission: helping people find amazing dogs who will bring joy into their lives!

Your goal as a breeder is to produce dogs that will meet their potential as pets and working dogs.

We’re sure you already know that the most important thing to consider when breeding dogs is what they’ll be like as pets and working dogs. So many people get into breeding with the idea of creating “the perfect pooch” in their head, but this can lead to dogs with behavioral issues or health problems. The most important thing is that your puppies will grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted family pets who have been properly socialized and trained.

In order for this to happen, it’s crucial that you set yourself up for success by only choosing parents who are genetically suited for these roles.

It is more important for you to help solve problems than it is for you to be right about why those problems occurred.

This question is not just about your attitude, but also the way you treat your dog breeders and the way they treat their dogs. In order to be a good dog breeder, you need to be able to work closely with other people in the industry—and that requires being able to communicate effectively.

If someone comes to you with a problem or concern and asks for advice, it should be more important for you to help solve that person’s problem than it is for you to be right about why those problems occurred in the first place. When faced with such an issue, ask yourself: What can I do today that will benefit this person? Remember that helping someone solve a problem isn’t always as simple as giving them advice; sometimes all it takes is listening patiently without judgment and showing compassion toward them.

The bottom line here is this: You are not always going to have all of the answers when it comes time for someone else’s dog breeding operation (or even yours), but if there’s one thing we know about our friends at Dog Breeder Central®, we know they will always do their best!

Decide whether you want to be a show breeder, a companion breeder or a performance breeder, then follow through with that plan once you decide on it.

Decide whether you want to be a show breeder, a companion breeder or a performance breeder, then follow through with that plan once you decide on it. Don’t try to be everything to everybody and never give up if you don’t get it right the first time.

Conclusion

If you’re still unsure of what kind of breeder you want to be, it’s time to make a decision. Remember that there are many different kinds of dog breeders, so there’s no right or wrong answer here!
