Why Breeders Brew Exists and Why You'll Want to Stick Around

If you've ever googled something in a panic at 2 am during whelping, felt out of your depth mid-pregnancy or wondered if anyone else cares about doing things correctly, you're in the right place.

We created the Breeders Brew Podcast for breeders who want honest answers, not recycled myths. Whether you're planning your first litter or refining your lines after years of experience, this is your space to learn, reflect and grow with people who genuinely understand.

In this trailer episode, we share why we launched the podcast, how the name Breeders Brew came about, and what you can expect from our future episodes. You'll also get a taste of the relaxed but practical style we're known for, rooted in years of experience across breeds and backgrounds.

And if you're craving more than just podcast support, we'll introduce the Brew Crew, our private community where you'll find personal, real-life help from breeders who walk the walk.

Hit subscribe and join us as we stir up a fresh conversation about modern, meaningful dog breeding.

Is your whelping kit actually useful, or are you about to spend money on things you may never need?

In this episode, we go through a commercial whelping kit item by item, deciding what stays, what goes, and what really depends on your breed, setup and experience. We get into:

• The whelping essentials we would not be without, and the items we would leave out
• Heat pads, thermometers, ID collars, aspirators and the practical extras worth considering
• How to avoid overbuying and build a kit that actually suits your dogs

If you haven’t bought your kit yet, or you’re checking what you already have, take a look at our WhelpingWorld Shopping List, filled with the products and supplies we actually recommend.

Worried about a low milk supply or wondering how to support your dam through lactation?

In this episode, we delve into the intricate factors that influence milk production—from brain chemistry and prolactin to hormone feedback loops and dietary considerations. We also look at how breed differences, kibble versus raw feeding, and a dam’s appetite can all play a part.

We share Isobel’s go-to strategy for supporting milk flow, cover common supplementation options like fenugreek, and explain how things like puppy squeaks or early use of puppy boxes can impact lactation. If you want support that’s tailored to your breed, background and breeding mindset, join the Brew Crew for personal guidance and real-world insight from breeders who’ve been through it all.
