In this episode, I take a practical look at bulldog exercise and explain how the right approach changes as your dog grows from puppy to adult to senior.

I break down what good exercise actually looks like at each stage of life, why socialisation matters more than mileage in the early months, and how to build a routine that works for the breed rather than against it.

We consider:

• How to introduce collar, lead and walking to a young puppy without drama or bad habits
• What adult bulldogs need day to day and how to gauge whether you're getting the balance right
• How to adapt as your dog ages and what to watch for along the way

Whether you've just brought a puppy home or you've had bulldogs for years, this episode gives you a straightforward, breed-specific framework to work from.

In this episode, I take a practical look at puppy teething and explain why biting and chewing suddenly become such a big part of life between four and seven months of age.

I break down what is happening inside a puppy’s mouth as baby teeth are pushed out and adult teeth come through, and why this stage can temporarily change your puppy’s behaviour.

We consider:

• Why puppies bite and chew during the teething phase
• How puppy teeth develop and when they are replaced by adult teeth
• Simple ways to manage teething without creating training problems

If your puppy has suddenly turned into a chewing machine, this episode will help you understand what is normal and how to guide them through it calmly.

COI, the coefficient of inbreeding, is often promoted as the ultimate marker of a healthy litter. But does a low percentage really prove anything?

In this episode, I unpack what COI actually measures, where it can mislead, and why one number can never replace genuine breed knowledge.

In this episode, we consider:

• What COI truly calculates and why generation depth matters
• Why a low percentage does not automatically equal a healthier puppy
• How to recognise when COI is being used as a superficial sales point rather than informed breeding practice

In this episode, I take a clear, evidence-led look at early puppy healthcare and challenge some of the assumptions that have become standard practice.

I explain what is legally required before a puppy leaves at eight weeks, what I believe is genuinely in the puppy’s best interests, and where routine protocols may deserve more scrutiny.

We consider:

• What microchipping, worming and vaccination protocols should look like at eight weeks
• Why maternal immunity, timing and brand choice matter more than most realise
• How titre testing and risk-based decisions can reduce unnecessary chemical exposure

If you are breeding or preparing to bring a puppy home, this will help you move from habit to informed decision-making.

In this episode, I explore how a simple debate about Easter eggs reveals a much bigger problem in the puppy market. When the story behind a product changes, people start questioning whether it is still worth the money. The same principle applies when comparing puppy adverts online.

This is not about finding the cheapest puppy. It is about understanding the knowledge, responsibility and planning that sit behind a litter.

In this episode, we consider:

• Why price and value are two completely different things when buying a puppy
• How puppy adverts often become a tick-box exercise rather than a true explanation of quality
• Why breeder knowledge, stud selection and experience influence the future health of a puppy

If you are searching for a puppy and trying to make sense of the price differences you see online, this episode will help you look beyond the advert and understand what really matters.

Toilet training can unravel quickly, especially if you do not understand how early rearing, feeding habits and routine all influence your puppy’s behaviour.

In this episode, I explore why some common breeder practices can create unintended habits, why puppy pads can complicate long-term training, and how food timing and diet directly affect overnight accidents.

This is not about gimmicks. It is about management, routine and setting your puppy up to succeed.

In this episode, we consider:

• How early feeding and rearing methods shape behaviour later on
• Why puppy pads can delay true house training
• How food type, portion size and timing influence overnight cleanliness

If you are struggling with toilet training or want to avoid common pitfalls from the start, this episode helps you think a few steps ahead.

Endorsements are designed to protect health, heritage and reputation. Yet a recent communication from The Royal Kennel Club has left many breeders questioning how much control they may retain in future.

In this episode, I explain what endorsements really do, why responsible breeders use them, and why the idea of automatically lifting them has caused concern.

In this episode, we consider:

• What endorsements are and why they exist
• Why automatic lifting could weaken breeder protection
• Why pedigree papers alone do not define quality

If you are buying or breeding, this conversation offers essential context behind the current uncertainty.

In this episode, I share how a seemingly promising advert led to a real-world visit that quickly raised more questions than answers. What looked good on paper and in photos didn’t stand up to closer scrutiny, and it became a useful reminder of why buying a Bulldog is rarely as straightforward as it appears.

Using this experience, I unpack how health claims are often presented, why assumptions creep in even within established pedigrees, and how easy it is for important information to be missing or misunderstood. It’s an honest look at the gap between what buyers are shown and what they actually need to know.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why photos and paperwork don’t tell the full story
• The role of independent health schemes
• The importance of structured and repeatable testing
