13┃ Q&A: Dog Breeding Knowledge Check
About this episode
Thinking of breeding your dog but unsure where to start or worried about making a mistake?
In this episode, we address some of the most common myths and mistakes found in breeding forums, from misconceptions about natural matings to the risks of early vaccinations and poor socialisation timing. We break down why “I’m not a breeder” isn’t a free pass, what really goes wrong with novice pairings, and why tools like mating cradles have no place in ethical breeding.
If you’re looking for clear, experience-based guidance that fits your breed, background and breeding mindset, join the Brew Crew and get the support you need to start strong and raise better litters.
