From showing to preservation breeding, from competitive obedience to field work, from agility to therapy dogs and all the fun in between, your passion is our purpose. So hey, crew. As 2020, otherwise known as the year from hell, draws to a close, I have some actual good news to share with y'all. First of all, if you haven't twigged to The Good Dog pod, you should most definitely add it to your downloads. This is a new podcast I'm hosting for Good Dog, with the goal of reaching an even wider audience than we do here at Pure Dog Talk, with great content supporting dog breeders and responsible dog ownership. You can find The Good Dog pod wherever you get this podcast, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our primary topics on The Good Dog pod are training, and veterinary, and breeding and legal advocacy. And I am so excited because we're going to try out a new format, we're sort of taste testing it. Basically a call-in show concept with an Ask Our Advisors Q&A session with myself, and Dr. Gail Watkins and Susan Patterson from the Facebook repro group. Our first crack at this we're talking about that very first week of neonatal care and fielding questions from the audience, i.e., you guys.

  • Navigating Complexity to Breed Disease-Resistant Crops
    REVIEWS Navigating complexity to breed disease-resistant crops Rebecca Nelson1, Tyr Wiesner-Hanks1, Randall Wisser2 and Peter Balint-Kurti3 Abstract | Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens through breeding is an environmentally sound method for managing disease and minimizing these losses. However, it is challenging to breed varieties with resistance that is effective, stable and broad-spectrum. Recent advances in genetic and genomic technologies have contributed to a better understanding of the complexity of host–pathogen interactions and have identified some of the genes and mechanisms that underlie resistance. This new knowledge is benefiting crop improvement through better-informed breeding strategies that utilize diverse forms of resistance at different scales, from the genome of a single plant to the plant varieties deployed across a region. Landraces An estimated 13% of global crop yields are lost to dis­ resistance breeding process. When genes and genomic Traditional plant varieties that eases annually1,2.

  • Selecting the Breeding Pair
    The Purposefully Bred Dog Knowledge Management Program KnoK SELECTING THE BREEDING PAIR ©DDTCA©DDTCA 2020 2020 Selecting the Breeding Pair Introduction This report captures the collective knowledge shared by 64 breeders who have produced more than 1,600 litters and put more than 8,000 puppies on the ground. Our purpose is to preserve the collective wisdom of today’s best breeders for generations to come. The survey, sponsored by the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of America, attracted some of today’s best breeders – Dandie and other breeds – people who have dedicated their lives to breeding and have had significant recognition such as multiple Breed and BIS awards from Westminster and other prestigious shows. These experts reside in 4 countries and represent 59 breeds across all seven AKC groups. This report is a companion to the 2019 survey we published, Getting the Bitch Pregnant. We shared that report widely and were pleased when other breed clubs used our questionnaire to begin capturing the knowledge of their breeds’ experts. We are happy to pioneer this effort and share what we learn. An unexpected outcome from this endeavor is that the breeders’ responses identify and define the very essence of responsible breeding. Almost all the breeders said they are motivated to preserve and improve their breed. Almost three-quarters of them are motivated by the emotional satisfaction and enjoyment of producing great dogs. Their responses also dispel the myths that responsible breeders are driven by profit and are in pursuit of the ego-gratification of winning. That insight is even more important since all of the participants are fierce competitors once they get to the ring.
