Annual Breeder Award: Supportive Stud Winner
In this eye-opening episode of The Breeder’s Brew, I sit down with Diana Stevens of Wylanbriar Labradors—winner of the Canine Family Planner’s Supportive Stud Award. Di shares how she’s built not just a name, but an entire ecosystem around her stud dogs, providing mentorship, support, marketing and integrity-driven standards for bitch owners.
Whether you’re working in Labradors or another breed entirely, this episode will leave you reflecting on what the stud dog owner role really should look like.
Her experience is vast—over 1,000 stud matings, all three Labrador colours, show and working lines, and a thriving gundog training business. More than just a dog owner, Di is a full-service stud provider and a community builder who’s raising the bar for ethical, effective breeding partnerships.
