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
