In this episode of the Hunt Test Hobo Podcast, Chris sits down with Marty Roberts of Sporting Life Kennels to dive deep into what makes a truly great breeding program. From his first Labrador “Jim Bob” to building a respected kennel operation, Marty shares how he selects for drive, style, trainability, and that all-important off switch. They explore the nuances of genetics, and why Marty's unique “care program” ensures every dog gets both a hunting life and a family home. If you're curious about breeding with purpose—not just producing puppies—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
In this episode, we break down two key artificial insemination techniques — Conventional AI (CAI) and Post-Cervical AI (PCAI) — and explore how each can impact productivity, labor efficiency, and reproductive success. Jorge Cajamarca (PIC Technical Services Sr. Specialist), Bruno Cortes Espejo (Supervisor, Farm Operations), and Dr. Brad Didion (PIC Reproduction Services Manager) explain the practical differences between the methods, share tips for selecting the right approach for your herd, and discuss how improved breeding efficiency can boost overall farm performance. Whether you're considering making the switch or just want to fine-tune your current program, this conversation will help you make informed, results-driven decisions.
Episode 700: Re-imagining Dog Shows and Dog Breeding It's become a tradition here at Pure Dog Talk to celebrate the important milestones. Episode 700 feels surreal to me! Since November of 2016, NINE years, I've been hopping in the van with you guys for your road trips, joining you on the treadmill and the lawnmower, at the grooming table and discussions around the dinner table. Crazy talk! But, here we are. This year we even kicked off a new adventure with the Marty and Laura Show, reaching out to the general public, your puppy buyers and your cousin's uncle's girlfriend with trusted, knowledgeable information on all things pet health. We've also developed the Pedigrees to Pups Seminar series and are actively in process of making those available as courses on demand. I've got a new audio book about to hit the shelves and a long list of really excellent conversations upcoming. So the future looks bright in podcastlandia. I'm just a little concerned I'm going to be talking to myself here eventually. As I watch the sport of dog shows dwindle, litter registrations drop off and dog breeders retire, age out, drop out and give up, it gives me pause for our future. I had a call recently from a long time judge who shared my concerns about the “future of the sport.” It's not a new conversation. It's been around for at least the last 25 years. And we're still here chugging along. A little more spread thin with lots and lots and lots of small shows. A little greyer and gimpier. My friend discussed various initiatives from AKC that she thinks are to blame. But honestly I think it's simple. Dog shows are expensive. Breeding dogs is ridiculously expensive. And really hard. You get the tremendous highs but those heartbreaking lows are really hard to take. Those of us who have dedicated our lives to this can't understand why people don't want to abuse their bodies, emotions and wallets for the chance at creating that one big winner. But a thing one of my guests said recently has really stuck with me. In his book Familiaris, David Wroblewski touches on a theme that I think we need to let roll around in our minds for a while. His fictional dog breeder character describes the importance of creating something lasting and beautiful in the world. The idea of pursuing one impossible thing. That dog breeding is something like a “great quest” and gives our lives purpose. So here's my pitch. We need MORE dog breeders, not fewer. But we need more GOOD dog breeders. People who put the dogs not the profit margin first. Not saying making money is a sin. It isn't. But when you center the dogs, the breed and the buyers, you might not retire a billionaire, but you won't go broke either. We've spent a good bit of time this year on providing content that helps people understand HOW to do this and do it well. That's a big part of why we created the Pedigrees to Pups seminars. We had Matt Stelter on to talk about website and content creation. We talked to my friend BB who started a YouTube channel with his Brittany litter. My challenge, dear listeners, is to extend your involvement. If you haven't yet, consider working with your breeder to whelp and raise a litter under their guidance. Decide that ribbons get dusty, but building a strong family of dogs who will go on to bring joy to hundreds maybe even thousands of people over multiple decades is a vision worth having. It is a lifetime project that is WORTH your time, your effort, your investment, your blood, sweat and tears. Because I promise you, when you start walking toward the end of your path, and you look back at your “body of work” with pride and love and the extended family of puppy buyers going back decades, it IS worthy of your effort. Building something lasting doesn't have to be a bridge out of concrete. It can be as real and as warm as the trusting gaze of an old friend looking out at you from the eyes of a new puppy. We don't have to buy the...

Earlier this year, Balchem and Progressive Dairy Magazine partnered to create a new webinar series, The Real Producer Exchange. In this podcast episode, Scott and Walt reflect on the first webinar in the series, where Clare Alderink from Brian Ryzebol Dairy was the featured producer. Walt gives an overview of the premise and setup of the webinar series along with a brief overview of Clare's background and current operation. Walt and Scott go on to share some excerpts from the webinar. (0:33)Clare talks about the dairy's experience incorporating high oleic soybeans into their rations, including pitfalls, growing pains and successes. (2:56)Ryzebol Dairy uses the AfiCollar feed efficiency tool. Clare talks about how they're using the data from the collars to make culling and breeding decisions, with an eye toward selecting more efficient cows to produce replacement heifers over time. (9:35)Clare also shares about things the dairy has tried that didn't work out so well, including the installation of solar. He notes that more research and discussion should have taken place among the dairy, the developer and the utility. (16:28)Scott and Walt invite listeners to the next Real Producer Exchange on Tuesday, August 26 at 11 am EST, featuring Rob Diepersloot, a seventh generation dairy farmer and founder of WonderCow Nutrition, a colostrum-based wellness company. Topics will include how the family started and manages a consumer colostrum product, and how it impacts the dairy; the many differences in management needs across three locations – two in California and one in Colorado; and the vital role sustainability plays in all aspects of both businesses.

(Piano music stops) Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating. This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. This is episode six of Aba aba and the sixth thing I like about Gymnarchus niloticus is their diet. We have talked a bit about this is the past, but we will add a bit more detail of what Aba abas like to eat in this episode. I have a guest co-host with me this week as I have had some dental work done and need help with all this talking! My husband, Georgiy, is helping me today. Welcome Georgiy, and thanks for helping me out! Georgiy: Absolutely! Hi! Kiersten: I know you've been listening to this series…right? Georgiy: Riiight… Kiersten: Of course you love it. What's your favorite thing about the Aba aba so far? Georgiy: The scientific name. Let me try to pronounce it. Gymnastic nalarcus? Kiersten: (laughs) Not even close! Gymnar-kus niloti-kus. Georgiy: (laughs) Gymnar-kus niloti-kus Kiersten: I like that too, but I like everything about the Aba aba. Can you tell our listeners what you've learned about what the Aba aba eats? Georgiy: I know they are carnivores, so they like to eat meat. Kiersten: Definitely! Georgiy: When they are small, 2 to 3 inches in length, they eat insects found in the water and very small fish. A study done in Nigeria found that 36% of juvenile diets were made up of aquatic insects. Kiersten: Really? Georgiy: Yes! 32% of the diet was made up of fish. Kiersten: Interesting. Did it say what kind of insects and fish? Georgiy: No. They looked at stomach contents of dead juveniles, so they only found small parts of the digested prey. Kiersten: Hmmm. It sounds like the juvenile Aba aba is a specialist feeder on insects? Georgiy: Yes! Exactly. Another study showed that Aba aba young that have used up their egg yolks will eat the midge larvae that are in the nests with them! The adult midges lay eggs on the grasses that the male Aba abas use to make their nests! Kiersten: Wow! That's so smart. I love it! Bring the food to you. Does their diet change as they get older? Georgiy: Yes. As they get older, and larger, they can eat bigger prey items. They will eat more fish, such as silversides, tetras, or African catfish, and add crustaceans to their diet. They will still eat insects but this makes up very little of the diet when they are adults. Kiersten: That sounds like a smart survival plan. Georgiy: Yes. The Aba aba are not competing with each other for food sources and they don't risk injury by hunting something larger than themselves. What did you feed them at the zoo? Kiersten: Ooo. Good question! We fed them silver side fish and shrimp. The nutritionist made sure we varied his diet so he got the right type of nutrients to keep him healthy. The nutrition staff made the diet for us and weighed out just the right amount of food, so he didn't get overweight, but also didn't get too hungry. He never turned his noise up at anything we offered him. It was one more thing I like about working with him. We never had to worry about him not eating. Georgiy: How did you feed him? Kiersten: This was also fun! Since his eyesight was not great, we fed him with tongs so we never had to remove decaying fish form the tank. That can get pretty gross and can be detrimental to his health. We offered him one piece at a time with tongs that were about 12 inches long. We just dipped the fish or shrimp into the water and it was only a matter of moments before he found it. Georgiy: That sounds fun. Kiersten: It was fun, but we had to be careful because if he accidental got one of our fingers he could really hurt us. When Aba abas eat their prey they suck the food into their mouths with a quick forceful suction. If you remember my bite story from last week, the popping sound, that was the suction action he used to pull the prey item into his mouth. If it had been something smaller than my arm he could have bitten off my finger. Georgiy: Whoa! Kiersten: Yep! Once an Aba aba has sucked in a prey item they clamp their mouths shut and use their bony tongue to help guide the food down their esophagus whole! Georgiy: That cool! Kiersten: It actually is pretty cool. Georgiy: How do the find their food in the wild? Kiersten: That is a great question and I will be answering that in next week's episode. Thanks for helping me out with this episode Georgiy, I really appreciate it. Georgiy: My pleasure. Thanks for having me! Kiersten: I hope you all enjoyed this episode about the Aba aba diet because it is my sixth favorite thing bout them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change. Join me next week for another exciting episode about the Aba aba.

In this continuation of our series The 12 Key Challenges in Breeding and Creating a Strain, Episode 150 dives deep into the complexities of establishing a true, purebred strain—examining the connection and similarities between evolutionary biology and selective breeding practices. Breeders striving for perfection face a wide range of challenges, from genetic issues to environmental influences, and this episode uncovers the scientific foundations and practical strategies for overcoming them. We'll explore the 4 Mechanisms of Evolution identified by Charles Darwin—variation, inheritance, overproduction of offspring, and differential survival and reproduction—and how these principles relate directly to selective breeding. As breeders select for specific traits, understanding these natural processes is key to creating a healthy, viable strain over time. Challenges #6-8 focus on: Dealing with Epigenetics: The way environmental factors, such as geography, nutrition, and management, can influence genetic expression in ways that go beyond traditional inheritance. We'll break down how breeders can harness epigenetic mechanisms for the betterment of their strains, while managing the effects of undesirable traits. Gene Flow and Genetic Instability: How the continuous influx of external genes through practices like outcrossing and crossbreeding can affect the purity of a strain. Learn how breeders can manage and even halt gene flow to avoid genetic dilution and ensure the integrity of their breed.

A lot of people think Equine-Assisted Learning is about using horses to help humans. But the truth?... We don't “use” horses. We partner with them. And if you really want to partner with your horse,you need to learn their language. When you step into an Equine-Assisted Learning session, it's not about being the expert. It's not about fixing people. It's about letting the horse show you the way. But only if we slow down enough to really notice. When you learn to read their subtle signals, you'll know how to guide your clients in ways that are empowering, deep, and lasting. You can turn a quiet moment into a powerful breakthrough. That's what makes this work different. It's not riding. It's not therapy. It's horses teaching humans in the most beautiful way.

Migratory birds connect the Northern Plains with many parts of the Western Hemisphere. Lark Buntings, Baird's Sparrows, Upland Sandpipers, and many other birds winter from Central to southern South America. But their reproduction depends on the bounty of the prairie spring. Disrupting any part of their annual life cycle — breeding habitat, stopover places during spring and fall migration, and wintering habitat — reduces the survival of the species.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

The science behind your garden hydrangeas involves far more than just planting and watering. Dr. Lisa Alexander, a research geneticist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, takes us on a fascinating journey from her first days pollinating chestnut trees in a 70-foot bucket truck to her current work revolutionizing hydrangea breeding at the National Arboretum.Working from the heart of Tennessee's nursery country, Dr. Alexander explains how she's mapping the genetic diversity of oakleaf hydrangea across its six-state native range. Her team has identified six distinct genetic populations, some containing rare genes that might help plants survive drought or cold temperatures. This groundbreaking research comes at a critical time – they've discovered that urbanization has already caused these beautiful native plants to disappear from many previously recorded locations.The economic stakes are significant. Hydrangeas represent a $155 million industry, ranking as the second best-selling woody shrub behind roses. By understanding the genetic blueprint controlling traits like plant size, flower structure, and environmental adaptations, breeders can develop improved varieties that combine beauty with resilience.Dr. Alexander also discusses the exciting launch of "Hort Genomes" – a new initiative creating a dedicated home for specialty crop genomic data within the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science. This resource will accelerate research across horticultural fields by centralizing crucial genetic information previously scattered across publications or unavailable to the scientific community.Whether you're a backyard gardener admiring your hydrangeas or a scientist breeding the next generation of ornamental plants, this episode reveals the remarkable intersection of traditional horticulture with cutting-edge genomics that's shaping the future of our gardens.Read the JASHS article “Precipitation, Temperature, and Population Structure Influence Genetic Diversity of Oakleaf Hydrangea Throughout Its Native Range” at https://www.doi.org/10.21273/JASHS05255-22.Learn more about the American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) at https://ashs.org/.HortTechnology, HortScience and the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science are all open-access and peer-reviewed journals, published by the American Society of Horticultural Science (ASHS).

One of the biggest mistakes I see breeders make is that they finally get some momentum—puppies are selling, income is flowing—and instead of using that money to create peace or freedom down the line, they burn it. You might be investing all of that money in your breeding program, but as important as it is to reinvest in your program, it's also incredibly important to invest in your future. In this episode, I'm so excited to share with you how to capitalize on your breeding program when it's in its heyday—when your dogs are popular, you've got lots of buyers, a good price, and your enthusiasm is high.
We get another solid dose of detail on Trill where Jadzia spends the principal part of the episode out of the action as we review "Equilibrium"? Seriously, why were the DS9 writers so bad at this? How did the manage to make Quark a fantastic loverboy but somehow every single time it's Trill Time they give us underbaked nonsense where the focus character has no agency over her existence? WHY DID YOU DO THIS THREE TIMES?
The Royals pulled out a much needed win leading into the All Star Break Sunday. Then, the front office locked in and grabbed a couple high school hitters in the first round of the MLB Draft Sunday night. We have the details. The All Star Game is in Atlanta...four years after MLB wimped out and moved it because Dems were applying pressure. What a joke of a time we lived through and what a relief it's better. An NFL wide receiver does a podcast with his athlete brother and their dad and the topic came up of how the man raised and trained three athletes. He credits "breeding" for it and its hilarious. You want to hear this. John Elway is cleared of any wrongdoing as he was driving a golf cart when his friend fell off the back and hit head and died. President Trump went for the global photo op in New York at the FIFA Club World Cup final. This week, he's expected to announce tough sanctions on Russia as that war continues. Then, we revisit some July 13 headlines from a year ago when Trump was shot. The Dem media have a new battle cry as PBS and NPR are about to get defunded. And police officers in Arizona deliver a tasty treat to some surprised residents.
Breeding isn't just about producing beautiful birds—it's a long-term, science-driven commitment that demands grit, knowledge, and emotional resilience. In Episode 253, host Kenny Troiano is joined by Nancy Troiano and Frank Bradley to shine a light on the often-ignored realities of chicken and gamefowl breeding. This episode takes a no-nonsense look at the hard truths every aspiring breeder must face—from the misunderstood role of inbreeding to the burden of culling. The hosts explore the science behind genetics, the dangers of misinformation, and the critical importance of selection, testing, and long-term planning. You'll learn: Why inbreeding, when done right, is a cornerstone of building true strains How excessive crossbreeding and hybrid vigor myths derail your program The importance of understanding monogenic vs. polygenic traits Why culling isn't cruelty, but a breeder's responsibility How overusing medications and supplements can weaken your bloodline The hidden influence of mitochondrial DNA and prepotency How to spot and manage conformation and structural defects Plus, the team tackles false authorities, "miracle solutions," and other pitfalls that prey on newcomers. Whether you're just starting or refining your line, this episode is your wake-up call to the real work behind successful breeding. Forget shortcuts—this is about discipline, science, and dedication. Key Takeaways: Breeding is not for the faint of heart—it's for those committed to lifelong learning. Misconceptions and poor practices are rampant; science and mentorship are your best allies. Consistency, not chaos, builds legacy strains. “Inbreeding doesn't ruin birds—ignorance does.” – Kenny Troiano #ChickenBreeding #BreedersAcademy #GeneticsInBreeding #SelectiveBreeding #Gamefowl #PoultryScience #FowlHealth #CullingTruths Welcome to Bred to Perfection with Kenny, Nancy, and Frank – the go-to podcast for serious breeders who want to master the art and science of selective breeding.

What's Your “Line in the Sand” for Breeding Host Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Marty Greer for an important conversation about “what is YOUR line in the sand” when breeding dogs. This is a conversation around breeding ethics and having a “mission statement” for your breeding program. “I had a listener ask about a baby puppy with one testicle yoyoing and one maybe, maybe not there and what should they do? And Marty said, ‘Well, there's only a couple things and it won't take very long (to talk about), but I think that there's no reason not to breed that.' And I'm like, wait, what? So, Marty, I want you to talk to me about why, because this was a very interesting perspective that had literally never crossed my mind.” The conversation continues from there with Marty describing her “line in the sand” as deadly diseases. Her reasoning being the additional genetic diversity that comes when we don't “throw out the baby with the bath water” for issues which do not actively impact a dog's quality of life. “The world according to Marty Greer is for me a level 1 is something that you don't have a life shortening, life altering disease from. It's a retained testicle. For me it's extra eyelashes. For me it's an entropian. For me, it's an umbilical hernia. “For me, level 2 is something that requires chronic management, long term allergies. Thyroid disease, things that always need to be on medication. There's an ongoing expense. There's an ongoing thing that has to happen, but it's not serious. “And for me, Level 3, are life threatening, life altering, life shortening diseases. This is my definition. For me, that's bad temperament. If your dog bites somebody, I don't think that dog should be in your gene pool. If I have to muzzle your dog to breed it, I don't think it should be in the gene pool. That for me is orthopedic diseases that are crippling. Hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, all this stuff that happens orthopedically. And for me that's things like seizures, because I think seizures are life threatening. “But that's my world. I live in a veterinary clinic. Remember, that's what I do every day. So I see dogs that come in with owners that are distressed, dogs that are dying, dogs that need to be euthanized. And so my perspective is going to be different than other people's perspectives because that's not the world they live in.”
