Ready for more personal support?

If the tools, tips and advice on this page have answered your question, chances are they've sparked a few more. Even though you may be nearing the end of your breeding journey, remember it's a marathon, not a sprint, and though time is of the essence, losing focus now can undo months of care and leave your breeding experience feeling more stressful than it needs to be.

Tucked away in the heart of Whelping World is the Support Club, a private clubhouse open 24/7, where members regularly meet to catch up, connect and share their progress. It's a welcoming, judgement-free space for dog owners who understand that personal support is the key to safeguarding their girl and her puppies.

Joining means you'll never have to second-guess your next step. With expert guidance and friendly faces just a message away, you can move forward with clarity and calm. Inside the Support Club, you'll find practical, down-to-earth guidance with:

  • Regular Catch-up Calls – walk through your puppy placement process with confidence and find the right homes for every pup.
  • Monthly Spotlight Sessions – deep-dive into focused topics like contracts, pricing, nutrition and handover preparation.
  • Downloadable Templates – create your own deposit and holding fee receipts, puppy contracts and care sheets with ease.

The Support Club was born from The Breeders Brew podcast — where honest conversations turned into real-world support. New members join every month, bringing fresh perspectives and shared experiences that make every call feel like a chat among friends.

If that sounds like you, the Support Club is your next step. Join today and turn uncertainty into confidence, one conversation at a time.

Stop Guessing. Start Pricing with Confidence.​

No need to struggle with pricing:

  • 💸 Price too low → Can't sustain your breeding program
  • 💸 Price too high → Unsold puppies at 12+ weeks old
  • 💸 No clear framework → You're just guessing and hoping

The result?

Either you lose money on every litter, or you're stuck with unsold puppies wondering what went wrong.
The Puppy Price Profiler is your data-driven pricing calculator that takes the guesswork out of puppy pricing. In minutes, you'll know exactly what your puppies are worth based on:

✓ Real breed market averages (not guesswork)
✓ YOUR quality factors (health testing, experience, enrichment)
✓ Current market conditions
✓ Recoverable costs (stud fees, vet bills)

​
Think of this as your pricing blueprint - the essential tool that ensures you:

How It Works:
  1. Input your breed & market info (2 minutes)
  2. Select your quality factors - health testing, enrichment, experience (2 minutes)
  3. Add recoverable costs - stud fee, vet bills (1 minute)
  4. Get your Fair Price Range - instantly ⭐
  5. Download PDF or share your breakdown with puppy buyers

Need a Second Opinion?

If you’ve just completed the Puppy Price Profiler and are finding it difficult to charge the advised price range, feel unsure about how to improve your adjustment factors, or want to run your thoughts past someone who understands, the Support Club is your next step.

We created the original Puppy Price Profiler, so there’s no one better placed to help you interpret your results and apply them to real-world decisions. Inside the Support Club, you’ll find practical guidance, friendly feedback, and a community of owners who’ve been exactly where you are.
