ABA 2024: Supportive Stud - Diana Stevens
What separates a stud dog owner from a true breeding partner?
In this episode, Sara sits down with Diana Stevens of Wylanbriar Labradors, winner of the Supportive Stud Award, to reveal what it really takes to build a stud service that breeders trust, respect and return to—litter after litter.
With over 1,000 litters sired through her boys and a thriving community built on mentorship, marketing and high standards, Di shares why ethical stud work is about so much more than just showing up for a mating. For breeders ready to raise the bar, whether you're using or offering stud dogs.
