Licensing Requirements for Selling Puppies
You cannot sell puppies without a license. The type of license varies by state. With a small number of dogs, a business license may suffice. More dogs require a breeder license.
First, get a business license. Research if you also need a breeder license for the estimated puppies sold yearly.
Important Considerations for Puppy Sellers
Are puppies taxable? Do they need microchipping or vaccines before sale? There are important questions to answer to start properly.
Breeder Information and Practices
You need a license to sell puppies, regardless of your property. Some exemptions exist. Breeder registration is required to sell puppies bred or keep unfixed dogs.
Dog breeding can be profitable or not. Good execution matters more than the idea. Dog breeding is a project.
Unsold puppies may be sold for a lower price to a pet store or individual. They may be kept by the breeder. Unfortunately, some may be euthanized.
