LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
Read More: LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISSYesterday I wrote about the problem. Today I’d like to propose a solution. Because if good breeders are difficult to find, perhaps the answer isn’t waiting for families to somehow find us. Perhaps it’s time for all of us to put a stand by the road. On farms, the best produce is often discovered at…

THE PRICE OF NOVELTY
Read More: THE PRICE OF NOVELTYYesterday I was standing at my grooming table brushing one of my black Miniature Poodles when my phone buzzed with yet another photograph of what was being advertised as a “rare Merle Poodle,” and I found myself staring at that single word far longer than I expected because something about it simply did not sit…

THE NATURAL WORLD IS STILL SPEAKING
Read More: THE NATURAL WORLD IS STILL SPEAKINGMany years ago I found myself sitting in Arizona attending a Zoopharmacognosy course taught by Caroline Ingraham, and at the time I had no idea that a single class would permanently change the way I looked at animals interact with herbs. Like many people working with dogs, I had spent years learning nutrition, health, behavior,…

HOW DID WE GET FROM PINE TREES TO ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS ON THE INTERNET?
Read More: HOW DID WE GET FROM PINE TREES TO ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL HEALTH PROTOCOLS ON THE INTERNET?I had one of those moments recently where the freezer was humming in the background, one of the dogs was watching me with that suspiciously intelligent poodle expression that always makes me feel like I am the one being evaluated, not them, and I was standing there with my phone in one hand and a…

COLOSTRUM SAVED MY CHIANTI
Read More: COLOSTRUM SAVED MY CHIANTIEvery litter is different, and every mother is different. I have used colostrum with many of my dogs over the years, but I do not think I have ever gone through as much colostrum with a nursing mother as I have with Chianti. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful that I had it on hand.…

CALCIUM IS NOT CALCIUM
Read More: CALCIUM IS NOT CALCIUMMost breeders know how much calcium they are giving. Far fewer know whether all calcium sources deserve to be treated as nutritionally equivalent. That question changed the way I think about reproduction, growth, recovery, raw feeding, and supplementation as a whole. Key Takeaways: CALCIUM IS NOT CALCIUM A few years ago I was sitting beside…

DOGS WITHOUT HORMONES AND OTHER MODERN EXPECTATIONS
Read More: DOGS WITHOUT HORMONES AND OTHER MODERN EXPECTATIONSA few days ago, Dr. Kristy Wilson asked me a question that opened the door to a much larger conversation. The question was not whether hormones matter, but what responsible hormone preservation looks like in everyday life. How do families manage intact dogs, prevent unplanned litters, and navigate the realities that come with preserving reproductive…

Read More: 🕷️ 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐎𝐆𝐒Tick season has a way of turning a peaceful walk through the woods into a full-body inspection project by the time everyone gets home. Around here, checking ears, armpits, toes, groin folds, collars, and feathering has become just as routine as filling water bowls. The important part is not panic.But the important part is knowing…

Captain Kirk’s Dog and the Hidden Biology Behind Chronic Disease
Read More: Captain Kirk’s Dog and the Hidden Biology Behind Chronic DiseaseMost people recognize William Shatner as Captain Kirk from Star Trek. What far fewer people realize is that he has also spent decades quietly devoted to another passion: Doberman Pinschers. Over the years he has bred, owned, and studied the breed with the kind of attentiveness that often leads serious dog people to begin asking…

Autoimmune Disease in Poodles: A Terrain Failure, Not a Genetic Mystery
Read More: Autoimmune Disease in Poodles: A Terrain Failure, Not a Genetic MysteryAutoimmune disease has quietly become one of the most defining health challenges in the modern Poodle, yet it is still spoken about as if it were rare, mysterious, or unavoidable. Addison’s disease, immune mediated anemia, immune mediated thrombocytopenia, sebaceous adenitis, autoimmune thyroiditis, lupus like syndromes, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, steroid dependent skin disease and post…
