Don’t Wait for It to Break

Breeders Brew: The Dog Breeding Podcast ·

2026/01/03

Day 10 of the 12 Days series, Sara and Isobel challenge one of the most dangerous mindsets in dog ownership and breeding, “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” Through real-life stories of breakdowns, missed warnings, tech failures, and whelping plans gone sideways, they explore why waiting for problems removes choice, increases cost, and forces rushed decisions. From flat tyres and emergency recoveries to labour plans, breeding equipment, and stud decisions, this episode reframes prepara...

2025/12/31

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas mini-series lands on New Year’s Eve, and instead of resolutions, Sara and Isobel invite reflection. In this episode, they explore how many of the beliefs we hold about breeding, fertility, food, and health are inherited, outdated, or rarely questioned.

2025/12/27

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas mini-series, reflects on how traditions are formed, passed down, and sometimes followed without question.

What if the most important parts of dog breeding aren’t the ones everyone talks about? In this festive wrap-up episode, Sara and Isobel reflect on the year through a very different lens. Using Christmas as a metaphor, they unpack why so many dog owners fixate on mating and whelping, while quietly overlooking the stages that actually shape outcomes, stress levels, and long-term success.
