Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

06 — Clubhouse: Dandie Dinmont Terriers: Preserving the Dome and the Dip
Q: How important is grooming to the breed's appearance and judging?
Grooming can dramatically alter appearance; you must maintain the coat texture and anatomy so the dog's true structure is visible to judges, otherwise a poorly groomed dog can misrepresent itself.
06 — Clubhouse: Dandie Dinmont Terriers: Preserving the Dome and the Dip
Q: What are your top three recommendations for someone starting a breeding program for dandies?
Find a reliable mentor, avoid breeding to other breeds to fix problems, and stay within a line-breeding framework with dogs of similar style to preserve type and temperament.
06 — Clubhouse: Dandie Dinmont Terriers: Preserving the Dome and the Dip
Q: Talk to us about what you look for in movement when evaluating a Dandie.
The dog should have reach and drive with a smooth gait, and the topline must stay level and steady as it travels; if you see dips or an uneven back, something is off.
750 — Couture, Controversy and the Future of Purebred Dogs with Caroline Clegg
Q: What is the Elite Runway Experience about?
It's a project to blend high fashion with the world of purebred dogs, featuring eight founding members and a public fashion show in Orlando, with behind-the-scenes content aimed at illustrating the dogs' lives and the handlers' perspectives.
747 — Tavern Ratters on the Velvet Couch: Decoding the Yorkshire Terrier
Q: What should new owners know about coat maintenance?
If keeping a long coat, be prepared for significant grooming; many opt to cut down for easier care, while show dogs require more meticulous wrapping and maintenance.
