Affiliate Breeder Program

• How Does One Become a Queen Elizabeth Pocket Breeder?
  We do accept new people into our breeding program from time to time if they have an exceptional dog and if they are interested in joining with our carefully miniaturized bloodlines. Other buyers of Queen Elizabeth puppies plan to breed from the onset and we help them select appropriate mates.We work together as a foundation to produce the smallest beagles in the world. Every breeding is planned and evaluated to get the best results. Our breeders are such a nice group of people. They find it very satisfying to have a hand in creating this new breed of dog. We all contribute to the expense of marketing of the puppies through the Foundation's website www.queensbeagle.com and multiple advertising sites. The Foundation markets the pups and manages the sales. Part of the puppy profits are reinvested in buying new dogs to improve conformation. So we operate on a percentage basis. 60% goes to the owner of the parent dogs, and 40% returns to the foundation to cover all marketing, reinvestment, and administrative wages. You'll find our prices are high enough to more than compensate for deducting that percentage and you will do well financially. We give lots of advice and guidance too if you are new at breeding. [Sometimes foundation owned dogs are placed with families and the percentage is reversed with 60% going back to the foundation, 40% remaining with the contract foundation breeder.]
  
  
  
• What kind of training and support does Queens Beagle offer?
  What is your experience with animals and dogs? Have you helped with births? Have you had animals before? I will share my years of experience gained as a registered nurse (OB was my specialty!), and breeder of a variety of farm animals as well as twenty five years experience with breeding dogs. I will be available by phone round the clock for emergencies if something were to happen you needed advice for. I can also direct you in the right way if you want to expand and have more dogs to breed. You can develop your own line for the Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle breed. The Queen Elizabeth Pocket Breed Foundation markets your puppies and keeps it's database and information for the registry. I can help you arrange shipping by airline. And I remain an ongoing support for emergency calls or general email questions for your puppy buyers from that time forward. As an affiliate breeder of Registered Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagles you will be continuing the work of re-creating the miniature beagles that Queen Elizabeth I originally had. That line was lost but the memory of it has endured through the ages. Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagles is now producing the smallest breed of beagles in the world. The name is well- known through years of consistent internet advertising. Consumers are demanding more of our little dogs and willing to pay a high price for them! Your support as a buyer of puppies and future breeder will ensure that this line does not die as Elizabeth's did, but will go on to find it's place prominantly among the dog breeds in our world of the future.
  
  
  
• What are start up expenses to be a Queens Breeder?
  Aside from the initial purchase of your puppies, start up expenses in breeding Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagles are minimal. They are easy to care for and the mothers usually do the whole birthing process by themselves. Biggest expense is dog food--I will help you stay away from corn based foods that cause skin allergies/digestive problems and choose the best nutrition for your dogs. I can help you figure out cages, crates, exercise pens, and other aspects of breeding. I will help you understand immunizations and worming schedules and where to obtain medical supplies and dog food reasonably.
  
  
  
• What kind of return investment will you get as a Queens Breeder?
  If you want to be a Queen Elizabeth Pocket breeder, you will be part of an affiliate breeding program and you will be able to advertise on our trademarked website. A team of administrative workers also advertise your pups on several paid classifieds on the web. You will come away with far higher prices for your puppies as an affiliate breeder than if you try to sell them on your own advertising locally in the newspaper. Those weekly ads themselves really cut into what local people will pay for their puppy. So I don't recommend trying it. Our prices are high based on a reputation I have built over the years. People recognize the name and website and pay more for our puppies. The Foundation will get 40% return and you will get 60% if you purchased your puppies initially. Your puppy buyers would initially pay me through PayPal and I would forward on your percentage to your PayPal account. It is a cooperative commitment. You don't ship a puppy until you have your money. *For those inquiring about taking on Foundation adult breeders, then the percentage will reverse with 40%* to you, 60%* returned to me in compensation for receiving your dogs for free.

• What is the role of the Queens Breed Foundation?
  The Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle Foundation, operated by it's founder Rebecca VanMeter, is very involved in its organized network of individual breeders as a constant support system. This Foundation serves as Matchmaker and approves the matings, evaluating their results before planning future breedings. The dedicated families that raise our beagle and bear puppies share a single vision in how they go about miniaturizing their pocket beagles to teacup sizes, developing unique colors and coat patterns, while paying careful attention to good genetic health and stable disposition. The Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle Foundation believes we improved on the breed, not just miniaturized it. It's what people want today in a smaller dog.
