Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

757 — Why Dog Show Exhibitors Need Another Hobby: Perspective, Sportsmanship and Purebred Hounds
Q: What has been a standout case from your canine unit work?
A standout case involved locating a distressed, potentially armed individual, where the dog's find enabled a safe resolution and led to a psychiatric intervention ordered by a judge to ensure ongoing help for the person.
757 — Why Dog Show Exhibitors Need Another Hobby: Perspective, Sportsmanship and Purebred Hounds
Q: How did your involvement with rescue and law enforcement intersect with dog showing?
I used hunting and hunting-trained dogs in search and rescue with metro parks, which required rigorous training and collaboration with police and rescue teams; these experiences taught the importance of reliability, safety, and a calm, methodical approach to working dogs.
09 — Clubhouse: Dandie Dinmont Terriers: From Earthdog to Agility: Barbara Baese’ Guide
Q: What do you look for when planning a breeding?
Her top priorities are temperament and health, followed by correct movement and structure. She emphasizes the need for a dog that is loving, good with children, and has a stout, gentlemanly demeanor without being confrontational, and she aims to pair dogs in a way that improves the overall line over generations.
09 — Clubhouse: Dandie Dinmont Terriers: From Earthdog to Agility: Barbara Baese’ Guide
Q: Give us a little bit, your background and what got you into Dandies?
Barbara describes a personal journey from not being a dog person to becoming deeply involved through a combination of curiosity, a chance encounter with a Dandie puppy, and mentorship from established breeders who guided her through the basics of showing, grooming, and evaluating dogs.
754 — What Dogs Teach Us About Love (And How to “People” Better) with Dr. Chris Blazina
Q: Chris, talk to us about meanness is not a virtue, and how we can be more like our dogs.
Dogs point us toward a purer, more honest way of being by modeling direct feedback and loyalty, and we can learn to train ourselves to respond with kindness, repair when missteps occur, and stay connected rather than letting conflicts drive us apart.
