bcr229, after a bit more planning and research I do agree that starting as a hobby is the best route however I do still think it's a viable option to run as a business down the road IF you enjoy it and see the potential. Without a HUGE amount to spend on start up it's unfeasible in my current opinion to expect to have the best business model. I've worked out several years into breeding on excel and have a better idea of what to expect and what routes to take. I'm optimistic but still sensible. I'll see how my own journey goes over the next couple years.
