It sounds like you've had a rough past. I think that if you are really serious about owning a kennel and breeding your dogs, you have to carefully plan out how you are going to achieve that goal. I understand that your dogs mean a lot to you, but I think you are too fixed on the outcome as opposed to the work its going to take to get there. 15000$ is not enough money to move out on and you're going to need to have a decently paying job to take out a mortgage. The focus during that transition period seems like it should be earning enough money to pay rent and get yourself in a stable position. Opening a business is going to come further on down the road. I think you have an idea that has potential, but I warn you to not get ahead of yourself. Focus on what steps you have to take and tackle those one by one. Don't get caught up in your ideal end product. If that makes sense...
