Hobby turns into a thriving dog and bird business in Ottawa
Mrs. John Fivian, longtime animal enthusiast, built a breeding and distribution operation from a farmyard hobby. She runs through a Kansas City airport with puppy consignments, supplies vaccines, coordinates rare dog breeds, and acts as a middle man between local breeders and eastern dealers. Her enterprise employs part time help, spans 15 breeds, and centers on a growing yet volatile market in the Midwest and East. Her family remains distant from day to day operations as she dedicates 10 to 15 hours daily to the business.
