I need all the info I can get! Has anyone found a sable breeder in the US? I’ve been looking into them for years and I’m serious about getting one. I know they’re not easy to care for, but I’ve done my research and I’m ready. Price doesn’t matter… but I REFUSE to buy from a fur farm!
You can check out https://www.exoticanimalsforsale.net/.I’m planning to breed them in Tennessee, but it’ll be a couple of years before that happens.That site is a good place to start, but it might take some time to find one. I saw one listed there, but it didn’t have papers. Make sure you check the laws in your state—some require a permit, and some don’t allow them at all.It sounds like you’ve really done your research, which is great! Another idea is to check out sanctuaries that rescue and rehab animals. You might find one in need of a home. If you get one, definitely share some pictures!
Try checking Facebook groups. Sometimes breeders post there.
Sables aren’t common as pets in the US. Make sure you check your local laws before going too far with this.They tend to chew a lot and can be bitey, which doesn’t make them the easiest pets. They also need really specific care. If you’re set on getting one (though I’d think twice), make sure you have a vet who knows exotics and can handle their needs.

Thanks, I already looked into everything they need, and I found a vet near me who works with exotics. My state allows them, too. Like I said, I’ve been researching these animals for a long time!
@Devon
If you can wait a bit, we’re planning to breed them in the future. I’m guessing you don’t want to wait, though. There are some good websites where you can post what you’re looking for and check listings. It helps to look around breeding season because they sell fast. They’re a handful, but they can be awesome pets!
@Devon
Sounds like you’ve really done your homework. I hope you find a good breeder!
Dragonstone Ranch in Texas breeds exotic animals. I found them on Google when searching for sable breeders. I didn’t actually see sables listed on their site, but it might be worth giving them a call. If they don’t have any, they might know someone who does.
@Emerson
A big reason I want one is that they live a long time when raised as pets. They’re super smart, like a 3-year-old kid. They’re really curious, too! But like I said before, I’m being picky about where I get one. I won’t support anyone who raises them in tiny cages or sells them for fur.I’ve raised wild raccoons before, so I have a pretty good idea of what I’m getting into when it comes to exotic pets.
@Devon
Well, I hope you find the right one! Sounds like you’re serious about it.
