Animal Breeder
About
An animal breeder is responsible for producing animals that may be used for a variety of reasons, such as show, sport, companion pets, or food consumption. An animal breeder will mate animals to produce babies. The breeder then sells these baby animals once they have reached an age where they can survive without the mother. Breeders often work in conjunction with each other to find the perfect mates for each of their animals. Sometimes these animals will only meet during a short mating session. Other times, they may live in the same home.

- Many breeders own large areas of land that are conducive to raising animals. Some small-scale breeders choose to mate and raise the animals inside their own home.
