‘‘Twas the night before Cruftsmas… We spent the evening celebrating some of the most committed and inspiring individuals in our industry at the Pawscars, 11th Annual Awards night in Birmingham.

Frank Kane left us with a beautiful reminder “It’s not just about the beautiful dogs, it’s about health - for the future”. A shared commitment we all strive for, through proactive ownership, careful nutrition and ethical breeding.

A big thank you to PetPlan UK for your hospitality! - Isobel

A great opportunity for any dog owners in the North West!

🚨 HEALTH TESTING DAY – 21st FEBRUARY 🚨

Do you have a Bulldog.
a French Bulldog.
or a Pug?

Or any breed where health actually matters (so… all of them 😉).

We’re hosting a dedicated Health Testing Day at North West Breeding Services, including official RFGS (BOAS) grading, heart testing and patella testing.

Here’s the important bit 👇
Only a limited number of vets in the UK are authorised to carry out official BOAS/RFGS grading. This isn’t a quick listen with a stethoscope — it’s a structured, objective respiratory assessment that contributes to national breed data and supports responsible breeding decisions.

From 2026, RFGS grading is required for certain breeds before they can enter Crufts. That alone tells you how significant this scheme has become. Health Testing data is not only important for the individual, it's vital to the survival of some of our beloved breeds.

But this isn’t just for show dogs.
This is for breeders who want evidence, not assumption.
For owners who want reassurance.
For anyone who believes breathing properly isn’t optional.

Heart testing and patella grading are also available for all breeds — because ethical breeding means looking at the whole dog, not just one part of it.

I am really excited to join the Bulldog Owners Club tonight for a session on Bulldog nutrition, kindly hosted by Sara from .

Bulldogs often get labelled as “problematic”, when in reality they simply react more visibly to poor diets, heavy processing and ingredients that do not suit them.

That is not a flaw… It is their body communicating!

Tonight we will be exploring how nutrition influences itchy skin, problematic ears and unhappy guts, and how small, informed changes can make a real difference to your dog’s comfort and quality of life.

I am looking forward to helping this committed and enthusiastic community of dog lovers feel clearer and more confident about what really goes on inside their dog’s bowl, and how to support their dogs in a simple, effective way.

Cleft palates are one of the most worrying things a breeder can face and with so much talk online about “cleft genes”, it’s easy to feel confused.

So what’s the truth? Science shows there’s no single cleft-palate gene in MOST breeds... but nutrition, especially folic acid, plays a huge role in prevention.

If you’re planning a litter, our latest blog is a must-read!

Find out which breeds are at higher risk, what the research really says, and how to support your girl’s pregnancy naturally 💛

We’re talking:
✔️ Each stage of labour explained (clearly, calmly)
✔️ A full timeline of what to expect — and when
✔️ What’s normal, what’s not, and why some births look so different
✔️ The warning signs to watch for (and what they might mean)

This isn’t textbook theory. It’s real-world insight from two owners who’ve seen it all and supported many-many-many more through it. So whether this is your first litter or your last hurrah - come prepared to feel a lot more confident!

🤔 Who’s actually in your corner when breeding gets tough?

In our most recent Spotlight Session inside the Brew Crew mentorship group, we explored one of the most overlooked ingredients in breeding success: YOUR SUPPORT NETWORK.

Because truthfully? Breeding isn’t something you should do alone. The right team around you - stud owners, mentors, vets and fertility pros, can make all the difference when plans go sideways.

We shared our simple but powerful framework, the 3B Model, to help you sense-check who’s in your breeding circle and whether they’re helping or hindering you.

If you missed it, we share our some teachings in our latest blog:
✨ The 3Bs Model: Brain, Breed, Background
🚩 The biggest red flags to watch out for
💬 Real stories of how our own Dream Teams helped us make hard calls

Whether you’re just starting out or feeling like you need a rethink on your current circle, this one’s a must-read...

Average breeders don’t listen to podcasts like this.
They don’t reflect. They don’t plan.
And they definitely don’t apply for awards.

So let’s stop pretending you’re anything less than exceptional.

We’ve wrapped the ABA Awards series and are taking a short break before Series Four lands. In the meantime, join the Brew Crew, the community for dog owners who refuse to be average.
