Breeding costs
In order to
clarify,
To explain what is meant here, I would like to introduce the following costs of a breeder.
Initial costs
Breeding name FCI, breeder registration VK, proof IHK § 11 TschG, reconstruction measures of the breeding facility, breeding facility acceptance, purchase of equipment for the home (sleeping boxes, beds, blankets, dog dryer, grooming table, dog bath etc....)
Fixed costs
Annual kennel inspection, care products (washing, cutting, grooming), high-quality food (we feed raw), possibly special food, chews, toys, veterinary costs (vaccinations, annual examinations, required health certificates), consumption costs, cleaning costs, water and electricity
Exhibition
(with the most expensive point)
Entry fees and, if applicable, breeding license fees, dog groomer, accommodation, travel costs, special care products, equipment for exhibition
Breeding dogs
Recurring acquisition of breeding dogs, often from further away
Pregnancy and litter
Costs for stud dogs (often abroad), special food for the bitch, pregnancy examinations, unforeseeable events, puppy food, pee mats, cleaning products for endless cleaning, litter inspection, pedigrees, veterinary costs (vaccinations, microchipping, pet passport), starter packs when handing over puppies
And not to forget..
the time required (care, cleaning, support)
Day and night - 24/7
I'm sure I've forgotten a few things here.
