Responsible Pet Breeders’ Mentorship Matchmaking program helps connect new or developing breeders with experienced, ethical mentors who’ve been through the ups, the downs, and all the unexpected turns in between. Our mentors don’t just share knowledge-they help build confidence, keep welfare front and centre, and show you how responsible breeding should look in the real world.
Mentorship matchmaking is our way of pairing you with someone who’s walked the breeding path before – and has the practical experience to help you walk it well. Through this service, Responsible Pet Breeders connects learners with mentors based on breed focus, location, and level of experience.
A seasoned breeder can point out things you’d never spot on your own: subtle signs of stress in a whelping dog, the early cues that a kitten isn’t feeding well, or the difference between a common hiccup and a red flag.
