We began the operation in 1998 and have not shown a profit due to unforseen circumstances. They are trying to say we are ahobby and not a for profit. We have made money and have been making changes to the operation a little at a time. We raise and compete for championship titles on the dogs so that when we breed them, people want the pups due to their parents records to either compete with themselves or to add to their breeding program. I have spent quite a while developing the right lines to breed. Just like with show or race horses. Our unforseen problems which slowed us down were #1 Had two mortgages for two years due to our other home not selling during that time. #2 approx 6 months before I went independent as an investment rep, 9-11 hit , no one wanted to invest and my income suffered as well as our perfest credit. #3 during that same time frame my husband owned his business and the company he was invoicing was not paying in full for a year. We are fighting this! any suggestions?
