A: None. If you want to make money, do not get into the business of breeding dogs. There is a tremendous responsibility in bringing a litter into the world as well as quite a bit of expense. If you decide to have a litter, both the stud you select and your bitch should have been checked for hip dysphasia, heart problems and have a brucellosis test done. When the litter is due, you must be prepared to take time off of work to whelp puppies; recognize a problem and get her to the vet; and be prepared to hand raise puppies in the event you lose the bitch or she has no milk. Puppies should not leave for new homes until they are at least 8 weeks old. By this time, they will have been to the vet at least twice. Once for tail docking and dew claw removal and once for their first shots. Your responsibility as a breeder does not end with sending the puppy home with it’s new owner. You should be prepared to take any dog back (FOR IT’S LIFETIME) that you have sold should the new owner not be able to keep it for any reason.
