As we write, video, live streaming, and podcasts are the way of the future. We’d like to think it’s because in our thirst for knowledge, we’re able to fit more information into our brains in a shorter amount of time by seeing and hearing it than by reading. We leave to social scientists to determine if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but for our purposes, it’s a “thing” that breed clubs, Facebook groups and fanciers will do well to remember.

To that end, are you familiar with “Pure Dog Talk?” It’s an on-line podcast on the subject of (wait for it…..) purebred dogs! Hosted by a second generation breeder of German Wirehaired Pointers, AKC Breeder of Merit, and member of the Professional Handlers Association, Laura Reeves, each podcast offers interviews with interesting people from the world of purebred dogs, or deals with subjects ranging from agility, Junior Showmanship and field work,  to heritage breeding and therapy dogs. Bill Shelton, Luc Boileau, Bill McFadden, Valerie Nunes-Atkinson,Norma Smith, Andy Linton, Dr. Gayle Watkins and Ginny Lyne are just a few of the interviewees. Find Pure Dog Talk here.
