  • 19┆ Friendship & Finding Your Place in the Breed
    Feb 19 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Natasha for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about life with Bulldogs, learning the show world from the inside out, and how confidence and experience build quietly over time. From first dogs and early mistakes to showing, breeding plans, and committee work, we talk openly about what it really means to grow within a breed.

    We also explore life beyond the show ring, including Natasha’s move into Bre-ezy Dog Walking, a specialist service focused on Bulldogs and other brachycephalic breeds, and why breed-savvy care, handling, and observation matter so much with these dogs.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Finding your way with Bulldogs, from ringcraft and showing to breeding experience and understanding type
    • Trust, communication, and flexibility in breeding relationships, including dogs "on terms"
    • Specialist care for Bulldogs, and why Bre-ezy Dog Walking was created to meet the needs of brachycephalic breeds

  • 18┆ Who Really Decides the Future of Pedigree Dogs?
    Feb 12 2026

    In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes in pedigree dog breeding, focusing on the Kennel Club, Breed Councils, and how standards, health schemes, and governance actually work. I explore why Bulldogs continue to be in the spotlight, why long-established systems are being overlooked, and why the loudest voices in the debate are often the least informed.

    In this episode, I cover:

    • How the Kennel Club functions as a registration body, and why falling registrations have driven recent changes
    • The role of Breed Councils in protecting breed standards, health testing, and education, particularly within Bulldogs
    • Why responsible breeders face increasing pressure, while the wider, unregulated population remains largely untouched

  • 17┆ The Slow Erosion of Pedigree Dogs
    Feb 5 2026

    I’m back with a Walk & Talk style episode, unpacking what’s really happening in the pedigree dog world and why so much of the current conversation is missing the point. I explore government involvement, the Innate Health Assessment, the Kennel Club’s response, and the longer-term consequences for Bulldogs if decisions continue to be driven by oversimplified frameworks rather than lived experience.

    I talk honestly about pandemic-era breeding, the rise of fad colours, shifting veterinary trends, and why blunt, tick-box regulation risks undermining experienced, responsible breeders while failing to address the real issues affecting dogs on the ground.

    In this episode, I consider:

    • The Innate Health Assessment, DEFRA involvement, and why political, tick-box approaches fail to reflect real canine health, structure, and temperament
    • How pandemic puppies, fad colours, and inexperienced breeding have distorted the market
    • Why breed standards, long-term planning, and experience are essential if Bulldogs are to survive and thrive into the future
