Hard Times.....A Word to the Breeder

If you have a couple minutes , let me tell you my life story……

About a year ago my wife and I bought a beautiful brick house on five acres of property. Perfect for what we do. We bought the home as a repo from the bank. The person that the home was repossessed from lives at the front of the property. She hates us. Instead of taking personal responsibility for their loss, they accuse me of stealing their house, poisoning their horse and we have a ongoing driveway dispute. She turned me into zoning for being a breeder and I can no longer conduct business from my home. This has caused me to run my business from different locations……and has brought about hard times. In response I have purchased land and am building a home, but that wasn’t the plan. Instead of having a paid off home I am building another one.

It is my fault for not abiding by zoning codes. In reality, the zoning codes have no provision for the use of guardian homes. I have no breeding dogs on the property, no kennels with breeding dogs in them. All of my dogs are in guardian homes…..but the county couldn’t care less.

Breeding is a home based business.

A word to the wise……You are 1 anonymous phone call away from a disgruntled neighbor or customer, from having to move or shut down your business.

My pups are spread out with other people helping me to get through this while my ne home is being built, and I am thankful for the provision.

It is easy to think you can just be a breeder from your home. And you can, until you can’t.
