Our Breeds
Dog Breeding
Dog breeding is the practice of mating selected dogs with the intention of maintaining or producing specific qualities and characteristics. When dogs reproduce without such human intervention, their offspring's characteristics are determined by natural selection, while "dog breeding" refers specifically to the artificial selection of dogs, in which dogs are intentionally bred by their owners.
Breeding relies on the science of genetics, hence a breeder who is knowledgeable on canine genetics, health, and the intended purpose of the dogs attempts to breed suitable dogs.
Terminologies
The female parent of puppies is referred to as the dam and the male parent is referred to as the sire. A litter consists of the puppies born from the same pregnancy. A whelp is a newborn puppy and giving birth to dogs is called whelping. Dogs commonly give birth in a whelping box, a simple box or pen provided to the dam to help shelter and contain the puppies.
A person who intentionally mates dogs to produce puppies is referred to as a dog breeder.
Line breeding is the planned breeding of dogs with their relatives. This is done to strengthen the appearance of specific desired traits in offspring. Line breeding is differentiated from inbreeding by excluding pairings between parents and offspring, and between full siblings.
Outcrossing is the planned breeding between two unrelated dogs, used to increase genetic diversity in a breed and decrease genetic issues or abnormalities inherired from line breeding or inbreeding.
Dog Breeders Zambia is a group of experienced dog breeders in Zambia that came together and gave birth to the group, all for the sole purposes of dog business. The team of four decided to bring together ideas and look at the many things that need to be done in terms of dogs and their wellbeing. The idea and concept was birthed in the year 2010 and beginning of the following year, the ideas and concepts were enshrined into a doctrine that would later culmate into a legislative document to be used and appreciated by many. Little did we realize that as time goes on, many people would come onboard and buy the ideas and concepts and actually want to be part and parcel of the grouping.
To appreciate and ensure that no one was left behind, the team decided that it was high time they incorporated other means and mediums of communication that would gradually be appreciated and utilized by million other dog lovers. From inception, the team had relied mostly on email, printed documents and sometimes though not mostly, the mobile phone. The approach did not work out well as many people never used much of the channels that we had invested in or were using at that time. A decision to increase the communication channels was agreed upon and this to some extent started bearing fruits of success. The means of communication which were added onboard included; door to door campaigns, meetings, fliers, newspaper and radio adverts. The numbers thereon increased and many got involved and came onboard.
With the advancement of Technology and the new world order activities, other forms of communication increasingly came onboard these been social media, WhatsApp, Vibe, Instagram, Twitter and the list is endless. Dog Breeders Zambia decided to expand and invest in its communication crusade and this can today be proved by the presence of members that have come onboard and are doing business using our channels and means of communication.
We are grateful and sincerely appreciate our members for making it possible and actually getting things done to the end. Our reputation is embedded in the business transactions that our members continue to do with various stake holders from not only Zambia but from all African countries on the African continent. We have gained much respect and a track record that we continue to guard jealously. We now have not only dog breeders in the group, but we also have the dog lovers and dog owners with us as a family. The idea and concept for all is to see to it that dogs, dog services and dog products are utilized and taken care of in a manner that is acceptable and in line with specific outlined guidelines and standard norms.

I am more than excited with my Germany Shepherd puppy that I bought from Dog Breeders Zambia at the beginning of the year. The puppy is now 6 months old but looks like it is 2 years old. My family is familiar and happy with it too. I can recommend their services over and over again!

Chase is now 3 years old, we bought him from Dog Breeders Zambia. He is Rot by breed, very sensitive and intelligent dog we have had in our family. We plan on breeding him with our neighbor’s female that they bought also from Dog Breeders Zambia but from different litters, the female is 4 years and half old. We can’t wait to have pure puppies from the two next year.
