​Welcome to The Breeders Brew Podcast

The podcast and community for breeders and dog owners who care deeply—and are committed to growing alongside their dogs.

Whether you're preparing for your first litter or refining your breeding programme after years of experience, you're welcome here. The Breeders Brew exists to support those who are willing to learn, adapt, and evolve—regardless of breed, background, or how many whelping boxes you've cleaned.
Picture
Because responsible breeding doesn't stand still. It moves with science, responds to new challenges, and reflects the realities of raising dogs in a modern world. That takes more than passion. It takes a growth mindset—the kind that embraces developing insights, modern techniques, and better practices as they emerge.
​

The Podcast
​​​Hosted by two pet pros, Sara (Canine Family Planner™) and Isobel (Canine Nutrition Coach), The Breeders Brew serves up grounded, honest, and experience-rich conversations for breeders at every stage of their journey.

We cover everything from choosing the right stud and navigating ovulation timing to managing contracts, feeding litters, and supporting new puppy owners. Expect a blend of humour, heart and hands-on know-how brewed fresh with every episode.

Dog breeding is evolving.

More and more dog owners realise that responsible breeding isn't just about producing puppies—it's about Dam safety and raising the standard in every sense.

As puppy buyers' expectations grow, so does the pressure from vets, friends, family, and even social media. Breeders are navigating increased scrutiny, fear of expensive vet bills, and a rising demand for transparency, health and ethical practice.

But amidst this, many breeders are left asking:
Who's supporting me?

At The Breeders Brew, we're redefining modern breeding mentorship. This isn't about how many litters you've had or how slick your setup is. We don't care about your experience, skill level or scale — that's not where success starts.

Success starts with you—your mindset, your intentions, and your willingness to learn, reflect and do better—not just for your dogs but also for the future owners of your puppies.
​
Why We Created the Brew Crew

As our listener base grew, we realised many breeders weren’t just craving answers—they wanted connection. They wanted reliable, breed-aware guidance that wasn’t preachy or oversimplified. They wanted room to ask, reflect, and grow.
​
And so, the Brew Crew was born—a private community where breeders of all skill levels can access deeper support, ongoing conversations, and relevant, practical tools tailored to their journey.

It’s not about being the best. It’s about getting better. Together.

“It’s not just about the breed or your background—it’s the growth you’re willing to lean into that shapes the kind of breeder you become.”

Why Everybody Deserves a Mentor — Even If It’s 'Just One Litter'

Picture
Think of new parents — they don’t just go it alone. They have midwives, health visitors, and that one friend who’s been through it all before.

Breeding your dog is no different. Having someone by your side who’s walked the path helps you feel supported, prepared, and confident at every step.

Whether you're planning your first litter or building on experience, a mentor helps you learn faster, avoid common mistakes, and make smart decisions that prioritise your girl and her pups. A great mentor gives you:

​🔹 Real answers, not guesswork from forums
🔹 Confidence in your timing, pairings, and plans
🔹 Early warning signs when something’s not right
🔹 Someone in your corner who genuinely gets it

But here’s the truth — even if you’ve been lucky enough to find a generous breed mentor, relying solely on someone’s spare time or goodwill can still leave you waiting, stuck, or unsure where to turn next. Life gets busy, and most mentors are juggling their own dogs, litters, and commitments.

It’s not about lack of care — it’s about capacity.

That’s why we created the Brew Crew Breeding Mentorship  — a structured, supportive space for dog owners who want to breed with clarity, care and confidence.

And as a Brew Crew member, you get a two-for-one when it comes to mentorship — with access to both Sara’s decades of breeding, judging and puppy placement expertise and Isobel’s wealth of knowledge in canine nutrition, development, and health planning. Inside, you'll get:

✅ A consistent learning journey you can trust
So you always know what comes next and can build your knowledge with confidence and direction.
✅ Access to live B!tch & Brew calls with both
Giving you the chance to ask questions, get clarity and feel supported exactly when it matters most.
✅ Personalised breeding advice tailored to your breed and your experience level
Helping you make decisions that actually suit your dogs, your goals, and where you are in your journey.
✅ Practical tools, checklists, and support at every stage
Making it easier to stay organised, make informed choices, and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
✅ A likeminded breeder community that lifts you up — not leaves you behind
Surrounding you with people who share your values, your challenges, and your drive to do things the right way.
