With A Dog Podcast

04/24/2024

Episode 182 ft.
Host and Dr. Jessica Hekman talk about:

- The Functional Dog Collaborative (FDC) and its aim to support responsible breeding practices and improve genetics and socialization in dogs.

- Functional breeding means breeding dogs that are physically and behaviorally healthy and resilient.

- Common genetic problems in dog breeds can be seen in extreme morphologies, (like brachycephalic faces) or traits that were not intentionally bred for (like epilepsy and shortened lifespans).

- Different approaches to breeding like outcrossing and creating new breeds, can address health issues.

- The current dog culture faces challenges in accepting new breeding practices and changing ideologies.

- How education and resources are needed to guide puppy seekers in finding responsible breeders.

Can we take a moment for the new branding?!
My 4 month sabbatical this summer allowed me to really reflect on what my challenges are with the podcast, and one of those challenges was my branding. I really loved the branding I had done in 2021, but it wasn’t quite as usable and functional as I needed it to be and I wanted to update it while incorporating more of my personality.
Biggest thank you to our occasional cohost Ashley of .journal for doing it all 🙌. I’m so happy with how it turned out!! Please enjoy the primary icon that’s modeled after my dog Loopy 💛.

This quote really resonated with our team this week. On our Monday Night Live this week we were talking about debunking and how it can alienate and judge people without meaning to and gradually the original intent of the movement is slowly evolving when the reason it began still hasn't been solved (the use of puppy mill animals by pet stores). We hope that we can have open, honest and kind discussions with each other where we can reflect and do better by the dogs that we all love so much.
