Also, if you’re new here — I’m Austin Shanks, founder of Breedwise Academy, the first platform to help dog breeders master breeding and business ethically.

We teach breeders how to succeed, scale, and avoid costly mistakes, while raising the standard of the industry.

How we got here…

19 years old: Decided to become a dog breeder. Started my first brand. Invested in my first dog… and got scammed.
20 years old: Invested again. Learned even big breeders scam people.
21 years old: Built a facility, moved for mentorship, had 200+ puppy inquiries before my first breeding. Learned to whelp, create content, and grow community. Lost the facility — had to start over.
22 years old: Followers hit 20k, opened our stud at $12.5k with multiple lock-ins.
23 years old: Became a full-time entrepreneur and built a second facility.
24 years old: First in-house breedings sold out, hit 50k followers, and generated multiple six figures.
25 years old: Sold everything to build Breedwise, created a third facility + content studio, and pre-launched the Academy.
25 years old: Followers hit 100k, hosted dog shows internationally.
26 years old: Mentored breeders to collectively hit 50k+ followers and generate six figures, partnered with vets and experts to create world-class breeding education.
26 years old: Average puppy price: $15,181
27 years old (now): Officially launching Breedwise Academy with top upcoming breeders — results are already incredible.

Today: Breedwise Academy has helped over 50 breeders become profitable, scalable, and influential. For breeders committed to growing ethically, scaling successfully, and leaving a lasting mark on the industry, Breedwise Academy was made for you.

To all the breeders building their legacy — each of you is writing your own story, litter by litter, decision by decision. The bigger the challenges, the more extraordinary the journey.

You either raise legendary dogs or create a legendary story along the way. Either way, you’re winning.

Keep pushing. Let your vision for your breeding program be stronger than the obstacles in your path.

Never settle,

Austin Shanks
