Everyone knows some canine types can be much more demanding than the others, be it due to their personality or medical expenses. Unfortunately, some species are notorious for their problems, such as bulldog’s hard breathing. With some breed, you know frequent visits to the vet are inevitable, and there is no such thing as a cuteness discount. Proper grooming is necessary, too.

Finally, after comparing the overall expenses, prices and demand, we present to you the most profitable dogs to breed and sell.
10. French Bulldog
Popularity: 6th place
Expenses: 13th place
Top price: $8,000
The price of these cuties varies based on their color, but what makes them pricey is the fact it is hard for them to reproduce naturally. That is also the reason why they are so low on the list of most profitable dogs to breed and sell. Experiencing problems with production can be unpredictable and requiring much more funds in the long term than planned. After all, you might be selling puppies or adult dogs. It’s hard to make profit if you have no puppies or dogs to sell, though you planned on it. Still, the irresistible face and petite size make them number six in AKC list, and rumor has it at All About Frenchies that one was allegedly sold for incredible 50,000 dollars. Definitely, something to think about.

Popularity: 18th place
Expenses: Not among the most expensive breeds
Top price: $2,000
Queen Elizabeth the Second adores these perky little creatures, and so does everybody else. Energetic and small, they have become popular in the USA as well.

8. Siberian Husky
Popularity: 12th place
Expenses: Not among the most expensive breeds
Top price: $1,000

It could turn out to be a lucrative investment when it comes to breeding and selling business.

Expenses: 26th place
Top price: $4,500
You’ve already heard the legend or watched the film, so we won’t bore you with their well-known personality traits.

Plus, as you have heard, they’re hypo allergic. What else could one ask for, or bark for? Samoyeds with their self-content smile aren’t the most popular once, but the price more than makes up for it.
