Lead your breeding plans with education and knowledge.

You might think the road ahead will be easy, but there will be many surprises along the way. How will your dog change? What does a normal birth look like? When should you worry? Do you know when the right time is to call the vet? The questions will keep flowing. But with education, support and guidance, you can enjoy your dog breeding journey with confidence.
I am Rebecca Walters of Pupstarts Breeders, and I have been successfully breeding dogs for 16 years. I understand that learning how to breed dogs can feel almost impossible! Many people want to breed, but they fall into the trap of “learning on the job” because the information is just not readily available. Well, now it is! I have put our entire dog breeding course syllabus online for you, so you can access all the crucial information you require, whenever you need it. After all, there is nothing 9-5 about dog breeding, is there?!
The course is on an easy to use online learning platform, ready and waiting for you to work through it at your own pace. Join our list of accredited dog breeders and show potential new owners and the licensing authority that you are dedicated to becoming the best dog breeder you can be. Stand shoulder to shoulder with ethical and enlightened breeders who truly care. Inside the Canine Pregnancy and Whelping course you get….

Testimonials

“Being a Pupstarts Breeder has opened my eyes in so many different ways. Not only do I breed bigger healthier litters, but I also raise them in a far better way, and my owners are having fewer problems with them. I do not worry anywhere near as much as I used to! Plus, the owners have The Puppy Pod course, which makes my life so much easier. I sleep better knowing my owners are getting professional advice on how to care for the puppies. I would highly recommend the scheme to anyone thinking of breeding a litter.” Jay Middleton - Chester - Dog Breeder

You will be setting your dog and her puppies up for the absolute best experience possible for them, and you’ll feel confident every step of the way.
