Dog Breeding

Project Profile
  • Dog breeding is the practice of mating selected specimens with the intent to maintain or produce specific qualities and characteristics.
  • ‘Breed standards’ often include exaggerated and unnatural physical characteristics that are detrimental to the dogs’ health and quality of life.
  • Purebred dogs are incredibly popular, and there is strong demand for healthy, socialized, and intelligent purebred puppies.
  • Breeding, marketing and sale of dogs has come to stay as a high-level commercial venture in India, involving thousands of breeders and pet shops
    in a multi-crore industry.
  • Dog owners keeping any female adult dog that has not been spayed, or any male adult dog that has not been neutered, for breeding, shall obtain 
    the necessary license from the Local Authority for their trade/commercial activity at the premises/ establishment in question in accordance with the 
    relevant local/municipal law, and after payment of the fee prescribed for the purpose.
  • Dogs shall be kept in a clean, healthy and safe environment. They shall be provided with all socialization opportunities, vaccinations, and 
    deworming necessary to provide maximum mental and physical well-being.
  • The dogs at every breeding premises/establishment shall be annually vaccinated against rabies (and preferably against canine distemper, parvo-virus, leptospirosis and viral hepatitis).
