Have you ever wondered why your dog behaves the way they do, despite your best efforts to train them?In this episode, Lee Bridges and I explore how understanding your dog's breed history and natural instincts can completely change the way you see their behaviour. You'll discover why many of the behaviours we label as problems are often your dog trying to meet needs that modern life no longer fulfils, helping you build a happier, more balanced relationship together.Along the way we discuss:✔ What different dog breeds were originally bred to do✔ Why breed characteristics still influence behaviour today✔ The reasons behind barking, chewing, chasing and frustration✔ Why mental stimulation and scent work are just as important as exercise✔ How to better meet your dog's natural needs, whatever their breed or mixI hope this episode helps you understand your dog on a much deeper level and gives you practical ways to help them thrive, rather than simply trying to manage their behaviour.————————————————CONNECT WITH LEE BRIDGESPlay9:https://www.play9.co.ukInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/play9world————————————————

In this eye-opening episode of Bred to Perfection, hosts Kenny and Nancy Troiano sit down with Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo, veterinary pathologist and avian disease expert, to uncover one of the most dangerous and overlooked threats in poultry breeding: Avian Leukosis Virus (ALV). Whether you're building a high-performance gamefowl strain, preserving heritage bloodlines, or improving your backyard flock, ALV could be silently sabotaging your work. In this must-listen episode, we dive deep into: What Avian Leukosis Virus really is - and why it's not "just another disease" The difference between ALV and Marek's Disease (stop confusing the two!) How vertical transmission through the egg silently spreads ALV Why most infected birds look healthy - but can still ruin your strain The four classes of ALV infection- and which birds are safe to breed Real-world strategies to test, cull, and breed for resistance The critical role of biosecurity, quarantine, and record keeping How top breeders are eliminating ALV and future-proofing their flocks Dr. Gallardo also shares insights from the Gamefowl Wellness Program in Southern California and explains why targeted health and breeding strategies are more important than ever for today's breeders. If you care about your birds, your program, and your reputation as a breeder, this episode is essential listening. Because breeding isn't just about what you can see - it's about eliminating the threats you can't. Listen now on your favorite podcast platform! Want to learn more?

We hear from Paul, a retired woodsman from mid Suffolk. He has had three encounters with large cats, including one watching him through the bracken. He describes his own incidents and others he has heard. Paul explains his tree management work across the local countryside and considers how big cats would use woods and features of the landscape. Paul and Rick also discuss actions to get more evidence in Suffolk, including a ‘camera wall' being set up across a nature reserve on a farm.Words of the week: non-invasive study28 April 2026

A new trial is starting this summer, as part of a programme to develop a vaccine for people against bird flu. 3000 volunteers are needed from the UK to take part, and 1000 in the USA. Researchers at the National Institute for Health and Care Research are hoping that poultry workers might take part.A new report warns that UK farming's reliance on imported fertiliser and minerals, puts it at risk in times of geopolitical stress. Analysis, published by the National Preparedness Commission, highlights the fragility of global supply chains on which UK agriculture depends.Fuel and fertiliser costs are soaring because of disruption caused by the war in the Middle East. That's having a big impact on farmers and it's also putting pressure on food prices as MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs select committee have been hearing. They were told that food prices were 40% higher than before Covid and that the food supply chain needed urgent government support with fuel costs.We visit a field trial of a gene-edited barley which contains higher levels of fat. Scientists believe this will make it a more efficient livestock feed, and could also reduce methane emissions by making it more digestible.Thatching is becoming more of a challenge due to issues with some of the materials. Supplies of the right sort of wheat straw can be unpredictable and the hazel spars used to attach the thatch to the roof now have to be imported from Eastern Europe. To kick start interest in growing more locally a ‘summit' of thatchers, farmers and plant scientists was held this week in Suffolk.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-23-2026: Dr. Dawn highlights ARPA-H-funded breakthroughs: Duke researchers created injections enabling cartilage cells to divide and remodel bone, UC Boulder developed intermittent-burst delivery of a repurposed drug that reversed rabbit arthritis in 4-8 weeks, and Columbia printed a living 3D knee using stem cells on biodegradable scaffolding. She notes the agency's budget was cut by $945 million despite requiring human trials within 18 months of funding. A cord blood study across 200 countries links phthalates—found in food packaging, vinyl flooring, shampoos, and toys—to placental disruption and premature birth. Dr. Dawn warns that removing specific chemicals just leads to untested replacements, and urges avoiding microwaving in plastic. An emailer asks about microbiome and exercise motivation. Dr. Dawn describes research showing Veillonella atypica bacteria eat lactate produced during exercise and trigger dopamine production via the vagus nerve, creating a reward loop. Bred "super-runner" mice ran three times longer than average, but antibiotics reduced their running by 21%, implicating microbiome involvement. Dr. Dawn expands on cortisol dynamics: levels should rise gradually from 3 a.m., spike threefold at waking to synchronize hormones, then decline throughout the day. Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, while burnout from sustained overproduction eventually exhausts the adrenals and disrupts circadian rhythm, requiring 6-12 months to restore. An emailer asks about food-based detoxification for skin and inflammation. Dr. Dawn explains that plant bioflavonoids—originally insecticides—trigger enzyme production that also breaks down synthetic pollutants, with sulfur-containing vegetables (crucifers, onions, garlic) particularly important. Colorful fruits and vegetables scavenge free radicals that damage DNA and collagen. Dr. Dawn explores red and near-infrared light therapy (600-1100nm), which boosts ATP production by energizing cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria. The FDA approved a device for dry macular degeneration, and red light is recommended for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. She notes modern buildings filter these wavelengths, potentially starving us of light our bodies evolved to need. Dr. Dawn shares research on unsupervised childhood play, citing psychologist Peter Gray's finding that independent play develops internal locus of control—the belief you can influence outcomes. such as youth anxiety and depression, as children no longer learn to self-soothe through tolerating boredom.

Breaking Down the Biggest Breeding Myths Breeders Face and how finding a way to Move Forward In this episode of Bred to Perfection podcast, hosts Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley sits down with Douglas Bruce for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on breeding, education, and the growing problem of misinformation in the gamefowl community. Together, they explore how they first connected through their shared commitment to accurate inbreeding practices and discuss their journeys as writers, educators, and mentors. From publishing articles and building educational platforms to managing overwhelming mentorship requests, they pull back the curtain on what it really means to teach in a space flooded with constant noise. The discussion takes a critical turn as they address the biggest threats facing breeders today—especially the rise of social media "experts," the spread of bad information, plagiarism, scams, and the dangerous culture of illegal exposure. They challenge common but flawed practices like chasing bloodline names and percentages, constantly adding new blood, breeding unproven stags, and trying to manage too many lines at once. Instead, Kenny and Douglas emphasize the fundamentals: disciplined selection, maintaining true families, proper conditioning and nutrition, and the importance of record-keeping. They also break down the myth of "refreshing blood," explaining how genetic recombination actually changes a family rather than restoring it. This episode is a must-listen for breeders who want to move beyond hype and shortcuts, and focus on building high-quality strains through proven principles, collaboration, and education that truly serves the community. #Gamefowl #GamefowlBreeding #PoultryBreeding #BreedingExcellence #SelectiveBreeding #GeneticsMatters #BreedingTruth #BloodlineMyths #BreedersLife #FarmLife #AnimalBreeding #EducationMatters Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

50: Chapter 48. Dea ex Machina This episode is scripted by John Ruths and Newell Fisher. This is the only Chapter in WD written from a human perspective. The phrase "Deus ex Machina" means "the god in the machine" In a story, it signifies a highly unlikely event that resolves an issue, saves someone and provides a happy conclusion. However...this chapter is called DEA ex Machina, meaning the "Goddess in the Machine". When we read the beginning of the chapter and we see the name "Lucy", we know that she must be the "Dea ex Machina". The pre-chapter quote is from the poem, Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas. It is about an idyllic childhood spent on a farm. It is such a childhood that, arguably, saves Hazel. We begin with Lucy, the farm girl from Nuthanger. It's early and she's just waking up. When we hear about the possibility of a dog barking, we can link it to when the farm dog was alerted and broke away as he tore off after Dandelion. Lucy hears a "sharp sound" and it's a squealing. This gets Lucy up to see what the source of the sound is. Thinking it's most likely a rat, Lucy sees that it's actually a rabbit! Lucy has a brief confrontation with Tab, one of the farm's resident cats. She takes hold of the rabbit that we know to be our very own Hazel. Just as with the adults at the farm, it's interesting how Adams lays out how she speaks English, reflecting her Hampshire accent. Hazel in her arms, Lucy encounters her father. He explains in his own way that to keep a wild rabbit in a hutch is a death sentence. Her father also defends what the farm cat was doing; and in reality, he's quite right. Her father asks Lucy to hand over Hazel. We the reader know what this means. Lucy cries. She knows her father is right but she's understandably upset. Lucy wins out. She wants to show the rabbit to the visiting doctor. Lucy goes upstairs, temporarily places Hazel in a drawer, gets some "cloze" on, and will soon meet the doctor. The dog is back, spotted coming up the lane by the doctor, and we now know that it is a Black Labrador. He's clearly been in a fight. If nothing else, we know that General Woundwort did fight back, given the dog's leg bite and scratched nose. We also learn, in passing, that the dog's name is Bob. The doctor, whose name interestingly is Adams, sees Lucy's mother first and thinks he'll have time to look at Hazel. Hazel is given an impromptu physical exam. While Adams is a fan of providing us with multiple points of view, we don't get Hazel's thoughts at all. In this one chapter he is portrayed as humans see him: a dumb animal. The doctor acknowledges his wounded leg which he received right there at the farm, a recent cat scratch, and reinforces for Lucy that this rabbit cannot live in a hutch. The doctor makes an offer. Lucy can go with him on his next house call and Hazel can be dropped off in a location along the way. Luckily for him, Hazel is dropped off on the single track road that lies to the west of WD, on the ridge between it and Hare Warren Down. The just dropped off Hazel seems to have gone temporarily tharn but comes to himself after about half a minute and quickly gets away. As he departs, the doctor confirms his leg wound. Of course, we readers already know this. As Hazel is never named in this chapter, it simply confirms again who this rabbit is. The doctor states "he could perfectly well live for years" and that seems quite hopeful. This 'rabbit' has certainly earned this in our eyes. And it will prove to be the case so even the doctor's observation is foreshadowing in a good way. Funnily enough the chapter ends with the Doctor making a reference to the song "Born and Bred in a Briar Patch" from the 1946 Disney movie "Song of the South". And so our brief foray into the human world ends.

Bred in Kentucky by Joe R. Peacock, Sr. and Joe R. Peacock, Jr., Senor Buscador retires from racing with $12,944,427 in earnings and was trained by Todd Fincher.Breaking his maiden at two on debut by 2 1/2 lengths, Senor Buscador then jumped straight into stakes company winning the $220,000 Remington Springboard Mile by 5 3/4 lengths. That effort garnered him a 93 Beyer as a two-year-old, the second highest Beyer of any two-year-old colt at a mile in 2020.The black type success continued at 4, with a win in the G3 Ack Ack S. at Churchill Downs. In his first start of 2023 he returned to the winner's circle in the Curribot H., defeating the field by 4 lengths. His success continued with a win in the G2 San Diego at Del Mar earning a 101 Beyer, defeating G1 winners Slow Down Andy, Defunded, Royal Ship and Tripoli. Senor Buscador earned a G1 placing in the Awesome Again and closed out the year with second place in the G2 Cigar Mile.He got off to fast start in 2024 with a close second in the G1 Pegasus World Cup, before traveling to Saudi Arabia where he made splash winning the $20 million G1 Saudi Cup. Defeating a deep field including G1 winners National Treasure, White Abarrio, Saudi Crown, Lemon Pop, and Ushba Tesoro (JPN), Senor Buscador set a new stakes record - 1:49.50. His next start was in the UAE, where he finished third in the G1 Dubai World Cup, contributing to his being the leading North American earner in 2024. He retires with four triple-digit Beyers to his credit - 105, 103, 101, 101.Out of multiple stakes winner Rose's Desert, Senor Buscador is half to graded stakes winner and multiple stakes winner Runaway Ghost. Rose's Desert also produced stakes winners Our Iris Rose and Sheriff Brown. His sire, Mineshaft, has produced 8 G1 winners including Dialed In, himself a sire of 3 G1 winners and 29 black type winners. Mineshaft closed out 2024 as a top 5 sire.
The 4-year-old son of More Than Ready, campaigned by Victory Racing Partners, broke his maiden on second asking in an $84,000 Gulfstream Park MSW at 3. After his win in a $127,000 allowance at Ellis Park, he would only compete at the stakes level. His first black type start was in graded stakes company winning the G3 Manila S. at Belmont Park, defeating a deep field consisting entirely of graded stakes winners and stakes winners. He followed up that victory with a third in the G2 National Museum Racing Hall of Fame S., behind eventual G1 winner Carl Spackler (IRE). More Than Looks followed that race up with a win in the $200,000 Jefferson Cup S. at Churchill Downs by 2 3/4 lengths. He earned the first of his four triple-digit Beyer -101- in this win.Returning to the races at four, More Than Looks ran exclusively in G1 company. His first two starts of 2024 resulted in game second place finishes in the G1 Fourstardave H. at Saratoga and G1 Turf Mile S. at Keeneland, earning a 100 Beyer for his effort in the Turf Mile. Those two races set him up perfectly for an impressive run in the G1 Breeders' Cup Mile, where he defeated a competitive international field consisting of 8 G1 winners. With the Breeders' Cup victory he earned his highest career Beyer speed figure of 105 and brought his earnings to a total of $1,870,715.“He's an eye-catching horse that showed elite ability from day one,” said trainer Cherie DeVaux of More Than Looks. “His explosive turn of foot and competitive nature led to consistency at the highest level, and ultimately resulted in him becoming a Breeders' Cup Champion.”Bred by Hinkle Farms, More Than Looks hails from the female family of multiple G1 winner Critical Eye. His black type winning dam, Ladies' Privilege - a $575,000 Keeneland November purchase, by Harlan's Holiday, is a full sister to multiple graded stakes winner Takeover Target.More Than Looks' sire More Than Ready is a leading sire of Breeders' Cup winners and wins, with 7 individual winners accumulating 8 wins. An international success, More Than Ready has sired nearly a 120 black type winners, almost 50 graded stakes winners and 13 G1 winners.
Multiple G1 winner Raging Torrent retired from racing with seven wins and earnings of almost $1.8 million dollars with four triple-digit Beyers including an impressive win on the international stage in the G2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan. Bred by Rodney J. Winkler and Alfonso Mazetti, Raging Torrent won at first asking in his two-year-old debut at Del Mar with a troubled trip including the jockey losing his crop in the stretch, but still drew off by over two lengths. He went on to be graded stakes placed at two.At three, he came into his own winning an allowance at Churchill Downs, where he dominated the field with an 8 1/4 length victory. This began a streak of races where he won six of his next seven starts. During that span, Raging Torrent won his first stakes in the Maxfield S. at Churchill Downs and won his graded stakes debut in the G2 Pat O'Brien at Del Mar against older horses with a 104 Beyer. He fought back in the stretch to defeat a talented field of runners, including G1 winners The Chosen Vron and Senor Buscador. He capped his three-year-old season with his first grade one victory in the G1 Malibu S. at Santa Anita defeating G1 Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan.An international field in the $1,000,000 G2 Godolphin Mile set the stage for Raging Torrent's four-year-old campaign for new owners Yuesheng Zhang and Craig Dado. He was never in doubt, jumping out to an early lead and drawing away for an easy 3 ½ length victory. Returning to the U.S., he led the entire way yet again in his G1 Metropolitan Handicap victory, making easy work of a field that included champion two-year-old Fierceness and G1 Breeder's Cup Classic winner White Abarrio with a career best 106 Beyer.
