I am not so sure about veterinary documents, but you have to pay taxes if you get income from selling puppies REGULARY and if you do not have any other income (like salary).

Em, also it is an interesting topic - what part of official minimum salary does a puppy price in different countries take? Could anyone count these things?

Hanka i have profesional breeder status (my wife) because we have choosen :
- to give our puppies owner some guaranty,
- to avoid people jalousy would have the idea to inform tax services if we have one litter,
- by that we are known by administrativ services and local town to be serious (we often receive lost dog from policemen or town employees to keep them a night until refugees open doors on the morning)

Unfortunally, we have profesional status but we breed a few puppies each year (even with our rottweiler)... 23 puppies in 3 year for CWs...

... that means much more charge than money earn ...

As i remember, first year... -7000 € (year for installing everything)....the second -3000 € ... This year.... due to our big charges in veterinarian.... hum that hurt my head (only a few puppies also)

.... if i want cash back our charge onto puppy price, i haven't evaluate it yet... but i imagine a BIG SELLING PRICE...

I made some evaluation to earn money with dog breeding...

To imagine an income enought and regular, it would be more than 150 of puppies each year based on a 30 females and of course some males....
(And the medium price is 500 € for each puppy, because in this way you have to take in mind that not only CWs but several breed...)

The cost structure would be huge (not under 50000 € if you made it by yourself), and authorization particular.

hello,interesting, yes indeed, a professional breeding will have more load compared to the tax, nevertheless, I do not see which additional guarantee you can provide a small breeding family will not be able to provide.

I remain persuaded that all breeder worthy of this name will be in measurement; to bring the same thing exactly.

However, that comforts me, I have a small breeding family, the accounts are always in the red, but I simply live my passion without having to count what each one of my dogs report to me or not…

... You are true for some point ....

But you can have a REGISTERED STATUS (i.e. PROFESIONAL BREEDER) and PROVIDE HIGH GUARANTEE according to the way of breeding, taking puppies inside house and every care about socializacion.

The MOST IMPORTANT is that in PROFESIONAL STATUS you engage YOUR RESPONSABILITY ACCORDING TO LAW much more than amator status... and also about puppies health.

In case of problem, the law is more strict with profesional...

I remain persuaded that all breeder worthy of this name will be in measurement; to bring the same thing exactly.

The only difference is the COST OF BREEDING... only this point ... and what is your due to ADMINISTRATION... and that costs !

... and the subject is to try to explain SELLING PRICE DIFFERENCE ...

... not to compare what you are able to do or not... just to give elements for explaining the price.

The only "price" doesn't explain anything...

Even not being a "professional" breeder, you can (should) sign a contract, where both - breeder and new owner - have their responsibilities signed. And it works just the same.

.... Yes Daiva, but in case of problem it is not the SAME COURT when you start a lawsuit ...

The same. I am not sure about the laws in other countries, but in Lithuania signed agreement works.
My mother is a judge, my father is a lawyer, believe me, I consulted

And yes, I am Vaiva, not Daiva.
