What does it take to protect a vulnerable native breed when only a handful of puppies are born each year? In this episode, Sara sits down with Steve from Womlu Mastiffs , winner of the Breed Mastery Award and finalist in both Breeder Excellence and Breeder Vision, to share the real-world realities of breeding and preserving one of the UK’s rarest giants. From the emotional toll of small litters and stillbirths to navigating import logistics, fertility challenges and the changing culture of dog showing, Steve’s story is a masterclass in long-term commitment.
