For a long time now i have wanted to become a dog breeder, but haven't been in the right living arrangement, until recently. I've owned two dogs in my lifetime, one was a family dog, Belgian Shepard (Tervuren) the other was my own dog which was a beagle. Both dogs lived until old age and passed from health complications at 10 & 11 years old, they were both pets and completed obedience training. What id like to do now is to step it up in the dog world and settle on a single breed that interests me greatly and take part in dog showing as well as a more long term goal of breeding. The dog that most interests me is a Lagotto Romagnolo, so now for the questions - What advice to people have for someone in my position? How did you all start with dogs and how did it progress to dog breeding? Step by step, what does it take to become a registered breeder? Thanks in Advance!
