Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Canine Infertility: The Post-Ovulation NSAID Protocol
Q: Can you talk to us about uterine cysts and chronic endometriosis and how these interact with some of these other things that can happen?
Greer describes cystic endometrial hyperplasia as a possible fertility challenge, with treatment prospects depending on the number of cysts. He also notes a possible inherited component and says breeders must decide whether to retain affected dogs in their breeding programs.
Canine Infertility: The Post-Ovulation NSAID Protocol
Q: So Marty, talk to us about, because there's a very specific protocol that goes with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. So that's question one. Question two is you said very specific instances of antibiotics. So can you enumerate those instances?
Greer says antibiotics are considered for test-positive tick-borne infections, toxoplasmosis, or neosporosis, using disease-specific treatment. He describes NSAID courses on days 2, 3, and 4 and days 15, 16, and 17 after ovulation for selected bitches with previous fertility failures.
03 — Clubhouse: Anatolian Shepherds: Working LGDs: Puppy Rearing, Socialization & Breed Standards
Q: What are key markers that you're looking at in that litter?
Collins evaluates puppies' responses to unfamiliar people and their behavior around activity. Aloof puppies may suit guardian work, while highly assertive puppies that chase or bite at ankles may be poor matches for some livestock. Breeders use those observations alongside their knowledge of each future home.
03 — Clubhouse: Anatolian Shepherds: Working LGDs: Puppy Rearing, Socialization & Breed Standards
Q: What does smart breeding look like, and how are you getting these results?
Collins says responsible breeders health-test for hip and elbow dysplasia, know their lines, and treat outcrosses as a gamble. They assess the resulting dogs as they mature, then may use closer line breeding to address traits they want to improve.
02 — Clubhouse: Anatolian Shepherds: 20 Goats or 3 Cats: Why They Need a Job
Q: Who is your ideal Anatolian owner? Who is the best person to have an Anatolian, and who should probably not have one?
Emanuel says the breed is often a lot for first-time dog owners and suits people willing to provide structure and a stable household. Owners do not need a farm, but the dog needs a meaningful job and continued socialization.
