Parvo was one of the most stressful challenges I faced as a breeder—until I found NeoPar. In this episode, I share my journey and how NeoPar has worked for me to protect puppies against parvo at a very young age, even before they leave for their new homes. Because it bypasses maternal immunity, it gives puppies protection right when they need it most, and it’s one of the few things that lets me sleep better at night knowing they’re safe. This isn’t a sponsored episode—it’s simply my story and the solution that finally gave me peace of mind.

#114 - Is Your Breeding Program Creating Your Future Or Just Getting You By?
One of the biggest mistakes I see breeders make is that they finally get some momentum—puppies are selling, income is flowing—and instead of using that money to create peace or freedom down the line, they burn it. You might be investing all of that money in your breeding program, but as important as it is to reinvest in your program, it's also incredibly important to invest in your future. In this episode, I’m so excited to share with you how to capitalize on your breeding program when it’s in its heyday—when your dogs are popular, you’ve got lots of buyers, a good price, and your enthusiasm is high.
Welcome to the Honest Dog Breeder Podcast, with me, your host, Julie Swan, where each week we dive in to discuss all things dog breeding, so you can build a breeding business you love, producing dogs that fulfill their owner’s dreams. I believe you can have an honest dog breeding program, that also pays the bills. So throw those pods in your ears while you’re cleaning kennels—I’d love to join you.
