FAQ
A person in the business of breeding and selling dogs may deduct all their business-related expenses, just like any other business. This category would include things like dog food and veterinary care, as well as rent, advertising, and other business expenses.
The only way to absolutely know that you are dealing with a genuine breeder is to see them listed by the American Kennel Club (in United States). A legitimate breeder will be active in AKC, will speak to you in expert terms on the phone, will have plenty of proof.
Registration papers prove that dog's pedigree. They substantiate that the dog was purely bred from documented, previously-registered purebred dogs. Registration of a purebred dog is only necessary if you intend to breed that dog to another purebred dog of the same breed, and you plan to register the resulting puppies.
The Breeder represents, warrants, and agrees as follows: The dog is healthy, well-tempered, and ready for breeding. The Breeder will provide a (Enter number) generation pedigree of the dog, a negative Brucellosis test within (Enter number) breeding days, health records, vaccination details, and health clearances.
If you're advertising puppies for sale, making a profit from breeding dogs, breeding 3 or more litters a year and selling even 1 puppy, then you need a dog breeding license by law. If you breed without a license you run the risk of 6 months imprisonment or an unlimited fine. It's definitely not worth the risk!
In the painful event of a serious dispute, a court is more likely to enforce terms that are clearly spelled out as essential to the Breeder's agreement to sell the puppy in the first place. Not everything is a Deal Breaker - Remember, if the contract is too overbearing and unreasonable, it likely won't be enforceable.
The contract between the buyer and the breeder governs the breeding rights of a dog purchased with AKC registration. If the contract stipulates restrictions on breeding, the buyer is legally bound to adhere to them. Breeding without permission could constitute a breach of contract and may result in legal consequences.
If in the state of Illinois you are classed as a “breeder,” you will be required to apply for a license from the Illinois Department of Agriculture. This license expires on the 30th of June annually and must be obtained prior to becoming a member of RPB.
Dog breeders who breed puppies to be sold as pets must be USDA-licensed if they have more than four breeding females and sell puppies wholesale, or sight unseen, to pet stores, brokers and/or online.
Most breeders that are even somewhat reputable will require you to sign some sort of contract/document up front along with the deposit. If they insist that they won't have you sign a contract, that's a big red flag.
