A Moment of Gratitude That Couldn’t Have Come at a Better Time!

“Oh my gosh, I could cry getting this alert on my phone today. I have my 4th litter, and they’re 3 days old. I have my very first puppy who isn’t just thriving off mama, and I’m supplementing with my syringe and formula. I’m just overwhelmed and under-slept... and this pops up. I haven’t even listened to it yet, and I don’t know if I’ll have to tube feed, but I just had a little emotional moment and had to thank you for reading my mind at the perfect time while I’m sitting at my computer googling all the things. Your work means so much more than you realize to so many people. Thank you! Thank you!!!!"

How Laura's Podcast Keeps Me Going on the Road to Dog Shows

“I'm a big fan of your podcast! I wanted to share that I mentioned you in an article I was featured in for Showsight, and I thought you’d like to see it. Your podcast has been such a lifesaver during the endless hours I spend on the road most weekends heading to dog shows. I truly appreciate all that you do! I’m hoping our paths cross at Westminster!”

How Pure Dog Talk Inspired My Journey with Saga

“I was involved in agility with my Border Collies for a few years before I started listening to Pure Dog Talk. Listening to Pure Dog Talk inspired me to step out of my comfort zone, try a new breed, and explore a new sport. In 2024, I brought home my first Icelandic Sheepdog puppy and participated in my first conformation show, with many more of both in my future! Without the encouragement from PDT, I don’t know if I would have taken the leap into a rare breed, but I can say for sure that my life has changed for the better because of it!"

Heartfelt Appreciation for Laura's Podcast: Knowledge and Connection

“Firstly, let me express how much enrichment I gain from your podcast. Every time I start listening and hear your opening, it definitely elicits a Pavlovian response. I know I will be receiving thoughtful knowledge and hearing stories of the ups and downs that we all share with our dogs."

Pro Tip: How Spinach Can Help Your Dog's Digestive Troubles

“If your dog eats something that might be sharp or pokey in their intestines, feeding them a lot of spinach can help push it through. While it doesn’t work every time, it does improve the chances of a positive outcome. Carl approves of this solution! I learned it from Dr. Marty Greer, a veterinarian, on the Pure Dog Talk podcast. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to use this trick.”

Hooked on Your Podcast and Loving It!

"Your passion is our purpose." There, I fixed it for you! 😂 I literally have this memorized from listening to the podcast over and over, revisiting old episodes whenever I need a refresher, and binging on the road to another dog show or trail! Thanks for spreading education in the sport and advocating for the world of purebred dogs."

Lisa Phillips

Huge appreciation!

"I just want to say I massively appreciate your podcast! I’ve been binging dog podcasts for the past few months—I'm a dog professional—and yours is by far the most informative, well-researched, and in-depth."

Luce Marshall

I love Pure Dog Talk!

"Hey Laura, I just wanted to let you know how much I love Pure Dog Talk! I’ve been involved in purebred dogs for over 30 years, and I learn something new every time I listen. And yes, like many others, it’s my go-to when I'm driving anywhere. I’ve even saved some of your themed podcasts for an upcoming overseas trip for in-flight listening. Again, thanks for this amazing resource! All the very best!"

Top Bull Terrier in Canada!

"Your podcast supported me showing my bull terrier bitch Freyja and with the wackiness of 2020 she became the top Bull Terrier in Canada. Then as I binge listened time-out breeding podcasts with Dr Greer and with Avidog, I planned her breeding with frozen semen imported from Poland to an amazingly successful litter of 11 who are now 3 weeks old."

Thank You!

"Laura, I just wanted to send you a message today to say thank you. I have listened to your podcasts for a couple of years now, and you have not only helped me so much with showing, grooming, training, and loving my purebred dogs, but you have also supported me in all parts of life. You give great advice and are full of positivity. So, thank you, and I hope you are having a great day! 😊"

Otterhound Puppies

“About two years ago, I was considering breeding my first litter of Otterhound puppies. I was really unsure of myself and didn’t think I had the knowledge or background to succeed. Then I discovered the Pure Dog Talk podcast and the Patrons group community. These podcasts are filled with amazing people and valuable information. They really gave me the encouragement and reassurance I needed to move forward. I'm happy to report that we have had nine Otterhound puppies so far, and I'm looking toward the future.”

*(Editor’s Note: More rare than giant pandas, there are fewer than 800 Otterhounds worldwide, according to the Otterhound Club of America. Preserving this ancient hound is the life’s work of dedicated breeders, primarily in the US and the UK.)*
