Hobby dog breeding is an exciting and rewarding endeavor, but for the novice breeder, a lot of concepts and skills need to be learned. Hobbyists have to learn as much as they can about the science of breeding, selecting breed, and tracing genetic history. One has to learn the different breeding methods and different breed categories in order to make the best decision with regards their breeding choices. Joining kennel clubs, breed clubs, trainings and seminars immerses hobbyists better in the world of dogs. There's a thin line that separates dog breeding as a hobby and dog breeding as a business. Of course, dog breeding can both be a hobby and a business, but what distinguishes the true hobbyist breeder from the business breeder is purpose. The true hobbyist breeder does it out of passion for dogs/ breeds, while the business breeder is driven only by profits. Hobby breeders want to produce better dogs; business breeders want to supply a market demand. It should be clear to anyone interested in engaging in dog breeding as a hobby that will do it out of sheer passion for dogs, not for money.
