City ordinance says I can't have more than 4 dogs and my boys put me over the limit. I would have to move elsewhere to get an actual kennel license. Thanks to everyone for their honest advice. |
I think gaining each of those things come with time.... And they aren't easily attained... Now I feel like a dream crusher as my husband calls me.... Just remember, we all started somewhere and you are entitled to the same chance..... Breeding is a funny thing as you have to carefully balance business with diplomacy and have a keen since of both buyer's and breeder's expectations.... breeders seem to each their young LOL.... it is hard to find someone who will pass along that torch.... If you love the breed, find a few shows in your area and compete a bit.... Get to know a few breeders on a personal level...You can find a great deal of fulfillment and ease into this....If you feel you are too overwhelmed right now... take a bit of a break.... Feelings can get hurt really easily in public forums, so don't take these things as personal attacks... Thats were I think a mentor is a great deal of help... They tend to me a bit more gentle when nudging you in the right direction....
