  • 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! :)

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
