  • My last straw

    This is my last straw. Mongrel breeders are not breeders. They are profit making puppy makers being enabled by things like this. It is an insult to the dedication of preservation breeders. I am over your inane interviews. In addition, the woman who is the moderator is really poor at her job.

  • Love the dogs

    I love the Good Dog podcast. I got my rescue pit bull from a Good Dog shelter, and I love that they provide continuing education through this podcast too. Positive experience from adoption through life of my dog! :)

  • The podcast has become an infomercial

    Although I was excited about Good Dog and it’s promise in the beginning, I feel like the podcast has become like an infomercial for a product. The decline of the podcast as well as not following through with their set out standards to rate breeders… which is certifying irresponsible breeders as Good breeders, has turned me off of Good Dog. It seems the business side of things and quest for mass appeal and customers has become more important than actually following through with promoting only goo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breeder Mythbusters: Top 10 Myths in Canine Reproduction
Q: Can nutrition influence the sex of the litter?
No; there is no proven nutritional approach to reliably bias sex. While timing and sperm dynamics can influence conception probabilities, diet alone does not deterministically alter sex outcomes.
Breeder Mythbusters: Top 10 Myths in Canine Reproduction
Q: Is oxytocin recommended after the final puppy is born?
No; if there is an accurate puppy count and no retained placentas or puppies, there is usually no need for oxytocin. It may be considered in specific postpartum milk letdown contexts, but it is not a standard practice and should be used cautiously.
Pro Plan AdvantEDGE: Learn About Life-Changing Nutrition
Q: Are there any chicken-free versions of the senior Digestive Support Plus in the works?
There are no known chicken-free options for the senior Digestive Support Plus at this time; the product discussed contains no chicken, corn, wheat, or soy.
Best Practices for the Welfare of Breeding Animals
Q: If there is no reproduction vet in a breeder's area, what would you recommend?
Encourage your vet to explore resources and connect with other specialists; there's often help available through local networks.
Best Practices for the Welfare of Breeding Animals
Q: Is there anything that can be done to prevent false pregnancies in between litters?
You can spay to prevent false pregnancies, but that's typically not desired as it signals that the system is functioning correctly.
