  • Love the podcast

    I’ve learned so much since listening to pure dog talk, it is absolutely my favourite podcast.

    However the latest episode mentioned the Dalmatian to pointer outcross as a success. I would disagree, I know of lua Dalmatians with such severe stomach issues they are on a seriously restrictive diet or they’ll end up at the vet. The trouble with the lua gene however is that those breeders prioritise it above all else. So dogs with bad temperaments are used, dogs with bad hip and elbow scores are used... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

734 — Semen Viability & “Semen Math”: Maximize Success with Fresh, Chilled & Frozen
Q: Can you explain the ice sperm product and how it helps breeders?
Ice sperm is an affordable iPad-based analytic tool that provides sperm count and viability readings, enabling breeders to perform basic semen analysis without a full CASA system, and it costs far less than traditional systems.
734 — Semen Viability & “Semen Math”: Maximize Success with Fresh, Chilled & Frozen
Q: What is a breeding unit and how do you define it when discussing pellets versus straws?
A breeding unit is typically the amount needed to breed one bitch in one cycle, often four to six straws or 20 pellets, depending on the concentration and post-thaw results; use this standard rather than counting individual items.
734 — Semen Viability & “Semen Math”: Maximize Success with Fresh, Chilled & Frozen
Q: So Marty, talk to us about the swimmers. There's something in here about girl math that I don't understand, so help me.
We pivoted to semen math and explained how the six semen parameters inform breeding decisions, including how to think about the total viable sperm, morphologic normality, and post-thaw viability to assess whether there are enough units for a planned breeding.
733 — Dog Breeders Under Fire: the National Legislative Push Against Responsible Breeders
Q: It's dead for this session, okay. And is this something you think that they're going to reintroduce, Lynn?
There was a twist of events; the cat bill continues in Hawaii and the dog-related provisions may be proposed as an amendment to include dogs in the cat bill, with AKC involvement to monitor and respond.
732 — AKC Purebred Preservation Bank: Saving Dog Breeds from Extinction
Q: Give us a little bit of background on yourself, how you got into dogs, how you got to be on the board.
Dr. Garvin shares his lifelong involvement with dogs, from early Dalmatian breeding and obedience competition to leadership roles in regional and national clubs, culminating in his AKC board position and ongoing work on preservation initiatives.
