Grantham Breeder Services specialises in CPD for dog breeders and canine professionals, with a focus on reproductive management, complete peri-natal and post-natal management in dogs, neonatal puppy care, and evidence based breeding practices. All courses are qualified veterinary nurse led and designed to improve litter outcomes, reduce risk, and enhance welfare standards during pregnancy, whelping, and the critical early neonatal period.

Training follows the same timeline as a real world breeding and whelping scenario. It begins with canine late pregnancy physiology, maternal nutritional support, and final week preparation. Learners are guided through correct whelping kit preparation and safe nursery set up before progressing through all three stages of canine labour, including recognition of normal versus abnormal progression, early warning signs of complications, clear escalation points for veterinary intervention, and informed decision-making around caesarean section.

Post-partum care of the female is covered in detail, followed by immediate newborn management including umbilical cord care, airway clearance, maintenance of neonatal warmth, infection prevention, and bedding safety. Structured neonatal care from birth to 10 days is then explored, including large litter management strategies, identification of compromised puppies, early intervention protocols, and clear guidance on when to escalate to veterinary review. All content is delivered with a strong emphasis on ethical, welfare focused practice.

With extensive hands on experience in breeding, laboratory analysis, and neonatal care — and supported by formal qualifications including a Diploma in Equine Reproduction — Grantham Breeder Services bridges the gap between theory and practical application. Courses are clinically relevant, accessible, and immediately applicable in real world breeding environments, with supporting visual demonstrations and curated educational video resources available via a professional YouTube channel.

This course is suitable for professional breeders, veterinary nurses, kennel staff, professional whelpers, and canine educators. It is also specifically designed to support licensed dog breeders in evidencing continued CPD in line with local council and licensing officer expectations. Regardless of current experience level, this training will strengthen knowledge, confidence, and decision making during every stage of canine reproduction and early development.
