Breeders Brew: The Dog Breeding Podcast
The Breeder’s Brew Podcast is for dog breeders who want to make informed, ethical decisions without feeling overwhelmed.
Hosted by Sara and Isobel, the Passionate Puppy Practitioners, this honest and supportive podcast unpacks the realities of dog breeding with clarity, compassion and practical know-how. Whether you’re breeding your first litter or looking to improve your current practices, each episode helps you navigate the journey with more confidence and less confusion.
Sara Lamont, the world’s first Canine Family Planner™, is a leading authority on home breeding. She brings decades of experience and a straight-talking, values-driven approach to helping breeders prepare, plan and parent each litter with care.
Isobel Barker, the Canine Nutrition Coach©, is the only breeding-focused nutritionist in the world. She offers holistic feeding and wellness advice by simplifying the science to empower breeders to raise strong, thriving pups through nutrition that makes sense.
Together, they bust myths, share heartfelt stories and answer the questions you didn’t know you had, all in a relaxed, relatable way that makes even complex topics feel manageable.

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 preparation as protection rather than pessimism.
A practical, honest conversation about foresight, lost opportunities, and why the quiet signs you ignore today are often the crises you face tomorrow.
