In this episode of Breeders Brew, Sara is joined by special guest Jacquie Mullin, winner of the Canine Nutrition Coach Holistic Breeder Award and finalist for the Canine Family Planner's Rising Star Award, to explore the beautiful but often complex journey of breeding Whippets with intention, care, and an open mind.

🌟 With deep gratitude, Jacquie reflects on the challenges she faced across multiple missed matings, the power of trusting her gut, and why embracing modern, holistic approaches made all the difference in producing a healthy, thriving litter.

🎙️ This heartfelt conversation explores:

✅ Jacquie’s lifelong passion for Whippets – from racing champions to her determination to preserve her cherished bloodline.
 ✅ The turning point where she stopped guessing and committed to accurate ovulation testing, discovering Elsy was a late acceptor, needing mating on day 23.
✅ Why an open mindset is key – even when you're being advised by “experts” with fixed views.
✅ The difference between racing and show-bred Whippets – in build, temperament, and breeding considerations.
✅ How Jacquie used exercise, supplements, and careful timing to support Elsy through her third and final attempt at motherhood.

Whether you’re navigating a challenging breeding journey or want to understand how to make more informed, holistic decisions, Jacquie’s story proves that perseverance and mindset matter.
