    Hi everyone

    Just a query - I have a pug and I am thinking of giving her a litter next year. What happens regarding any payments I receive for a pup? I presume because I am on benefits I have to declare it? Or is there a level you can have before declaring it? Or should I give them free to good home and then have nothing to declare? I can't seem to find any information on this topic online
    It would be preferable that you let a dog do that, and the outcome will be better.

    The dog is very young she has only been entered in that one competition. I am entering her in another in the near future. There are certain conditions that have to be met before you can even apply for crufts. The fact is she has 26 champions in her 5 generation, all closely related including her sire who was crufts qualified in 2009 and 2010.

    I am not even breeding her yet as I would not breed until she was at least 2 years of age. I was getting information in case I decided to do so at a later date. If she becomes a champion thats very good; if not pet value is good enough for me. I will still be furthering the champions in her bloodline.

    And that's how the Pug (and many other breeds) got to be the genetic mess that they are.
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    All closely related to HER (as in within 3 generations rather than 5).

    However, the overall pug gene pool is well known for being quite small.

    No but you kept making reference to claiming benefits and making money 'on the side'
    what do you call it then?

    Obviously the answer to my original question...the effect on benefits as to any profit received.

    This is getting quite tedious now.

    Well it is not making money 'on the side' if it is disclosed and above board is it??

    in your first post you was asking about declaring sale of pups.if you are deciding to disclose this to them then you need not ask for advice,simples.

    OP asked 4 questions in her first post and, at the outset, presumed she needed to declare any income.

    No suggestion at all she intended to hide the income, if there is any.
