Breeding the Perfect Dandie Dinmont Front: 50 Years of Preservation with Betty-Anne Stenmark Legendary preservation breeder and AKC judge Betty-Anne Stenmark joins host Laura Reeves to celebrate 50 years of King's Mountain Dandie Dinmonts, sharing invaluable insights on structure, puppy selection and what it takes to breed, select and judge a historically correct Dandie Dinmont Terrier. From navigating a "gene puddle" to her absolute, non-negotiable stance on front assemblies, this conversation is a masterclass for preservation breeders and dog enthusiasts alike. This episode is brought to you by the Pure Dog Talk Club Partner Program in proud partnership with the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of America (DDTCA). The Breeder Interview Series is dedicated to preserving breed histories, celebrating master breeders and educating the next generation of dog fanciers. To support the creation of educational, source-grounded content like this, and to gain access to exclusive community resources, consider joining our Club Partner Program today! Navigating the "Gene Puddle" The Endangered Breed Reality: Dandie Dinmonts are a very low-entry, endangered breed with an extremely limited gene pool. Betty-Anne famously notes, "We don't have a gene pool. We have a gene puddle."Phenotypic Breeding & Linebreeding: To maintain quality without genetic diversity, Betty-Anne focuses on breeding by phenotype. Her program utilizes highly line-bred lines and maintains a strict standard where an outcross is considered just 25% of the other dog is unrelated to their line.Reaching Into the Past: To introduce "the devil they know," Betty-Anne and her breeding partner, Sandra Pretari Hickson, utilize frozen semen from dogs they bred 20–25 years ago, reaching back six or seven generations.Hybrid Vigor: Betty-Anne recounts the dramatic revelation of finding unrelated stock in Australia and New Zealand in the late 1990s, which introduced crucial hybrid vigor back into her breeding lines. The Uncompromising Standard: The Front Assembly Why the Front Matters: For Betty-Anne, the front assembly (a well-laid-back shoulder and a matching upper arm) is the single most important structural feature.No Compromises: If a puppy does not possess a correct front assembly, it is immediately altered and placed in a pet home. Betty-Anne warns that once a proper front assembly is lost in a line, it can haunt a breeding program forever and is incredibly difficult to reconstruct.The Judge's Perspective: As a breeder-judge, Betty-Anne explains how a correct front assembly dictates a dog's head carriage, reach, stride and overall presence. Dandie Silhouette, Length and Top Line Proper Proportions: The Dandie Dinmont is the longest breed in the AKC, measured from the top of shoulders to the root of tail.The Unique Outline: The breed's hallmark top line, featuring a gentle arch over the loin, does not fully develop until around four or five months of age.The Tail Set Red Flag: A poorly set or upright tail acts as a glaring red flag to judges and is highly heritable. Selection at Ten Weeks The 10-to-11-Week Rule: Betty-Anne and Sandra avoid making final decisions before 10 or 11 weeks of age, noting that puppy structure changes too rapidly beforehand.The Non-Negotiables: Beyond the front assembly, critical early checks include ensuring the correct bite (which should look like a slightly overshot scissor bite) and ensuring males have both testicles. Preservation Breeding and Mentorship The Next Generation: Modern dog breeding is challenging, with fewer people having the time or space for it. Betty-Anne actively looks for enthusiastic younger breeders to join the "King's Mountain family".Fostering Trust:Newcomers are encouraged to attend national specialties, write letters or emails and seek out genuine mentorship. Betty-Anne notes that co-ownership is a wonderful way to start under the guidance of an experienced breeder. .For more information about the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, visit the DDTCA website.

This is part four of a ten-part podcast series documenting the European Industrial Hemp Association's 23rd Annual Conference in Poznan, Poland, at the Institute of Fiber Plants and Medicinal Medicine, June 10-12. Jan Slaski, hemp researcher and plant breeder at InnoTech Alberta, has spent nearly a quarter-century developing industrial hemp on the Canadian prairies. He came to Canada from Poland in 1993 and started hemp research in 2001, testing nearly 90 varieties from around the world to find what worked on the Canadian prairies. His team at InnoTech Alberta addresses the entire value chain — from seed to final product — across genetics, agronomy, processing and engineering. But Slaski's real battle has been cultural, not agronomic. People conflate industrial hemp (low-THC fiber crops) with cannabis (high-THC intoxicating plants). Even at trade shows, visitors holding hemp seeds ask if they'll get high. "This thing between hemp and cannabis, because you know, just like a word matters, how people perceive reality, you know they perceive through words, right?" he said. For 25 years, Slaski has been destigmatizing industrial hemp — fighting regulatory confusion and consumer misunderstanding. His current focus is artificial intelligence applied to hemp breeding. Using drone technology and computer vision, his team is developing tools to automatically identify male plants in seed production — work currently done by hand. Beyond genetics, Slaski emphasizes that reliable feedstock matters most. In Canada, hemp breaks disease cycles that devastate canola. Farmers generate income while improving soil health. The conference message: industrial hemp has moved from abstract "world-saving" rhetoric to practical business.

A discussion that addresses the Challenges, Standards, and Solutions Bred to Perfection: The Progressive White Problem, Standards Debate & Breeding Q&A In this episode, Kenny Troiano and his wife Nancy return and provide updates and announce that Tony Saville will be back on June 12 for a multi-episode discussion tackling some of the most debated topics in the gamefowl world, including inbreeding and the American Gamefowl standard. Kenny shares his frustration over a heated Facebook dispute involving a group to push a new American Gamefowl standard into the APA's Standard of Perfection. He breaks down his objections to their proposals, ranging from the light red/yellow leg variety and pea comb inclusion to allowing progressive white and renaming the breed "American Pit Game." Kenny explains why true standards must be built on uniformity, consistency, and repeatability, and why defects like progressive white should be bred out, not accepted. The conversation expands into the importance of breeder mindset, the difference between "pure families" and performance-based selection, and the long-term consequences of ignoring genetic fundamentals. Kenny also outlines his plan to collaborate with Brian Reeder to produce educational material focused on understanding and eliminating progressive white. The episode wraps up with a lively Q&A session covering practical breeding challenges, including: Feather picking in chicks Managing skittish behavior When and why to cull birds at any age Building strains from trios or crosses Color genetics, including spangled and blue varieties Packed with strong opinions, real-world experience, and actionable advice, this episode sets the stage for next week's in-depth debates, while delivering valuable insights for breeders at every level. #PoultryBreeding #Gamefowl #ChickenGenetics #BreedingPrograms #AmericanGamefowl #PoultryStandards #SelectiveBreeding #BackyardPoultry #ChickenBreeders #LivestockGenetics #HomesteadingLife #AvianGenetics Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

It's become very popular over the past five or so years, and the Cosmic Crisp apple came to us with no artificial assistance.

How selective breeding, natural immunity, and smart management create healthier, stronger, long-lasting strains. In this episode, we will talk about one of the most important, and often misunderstood, topics in chicken and gamefowl breeding: developing true, natural disease resistance within your bloodlines. We break down why disease resistance is a polygenic trait, how epigenetics and mitochondrial DNA shape health, and why selective breeding paired with ruthless culling is the breeder's most powerful tool. You'll learn how to build healthier birds through natural exposure, proper environment, gut health, biosecurity, and management practices that support the immune system rather than replace it. We discuss the dangers of overusing medications, how to identify truly resistant birds, and the role hens play in passing on vitality and immune strength. Whether you're building a new family or improving an existing strain, this episode delivers the practical steps and long-term strategy needed to create stronger, tougher, more resilient gamefowl, birds that thrive without medications and stand the test of time. If your goal is to produce birds that stay healthy, grow strong, and pass their vigor to the next generation, this is a must-listen. #DiseaseResistance #SelectiveBreeding #GamefowlBreeding #PoultryGenetics #NaturalImmunity #HealthyBloodlines #BreedingForVigor #GamefowlHealth #PoultryManagement #ResilientBirds #SustainableBreeding #StrongerStrains Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

For years I've watched American White Pelicans migrate through Kansas by the thousands and wondered what we really know about them. Where do they come from? How far do they travel? How do they breed? And what exactly are they doing when they're soaring thousands of feet overhead? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimee Van Tatenhove, a quantitative ecologist and former pelican researcher whose doctoral work focused on American White Pelicans around the Great Salt Lake. We discuss pelican migration, nesting colonies, feeding behavior, GPS tracking, bird strikes, avian flu, and some of the surprising things scientists have learned by following these birds across North America. We also dive into the challenges facing the Great Salt Lake, including drought, water management, the proposed data center controversy, and why the future of the lake matters to millions of migratory birds. Topics discussed: American White Pelican migration routes GPS tracking and pelican research Breeding colonies and nesting behavior Cooperative feeding and hunting strategies Bird strikes and aviation concerns Avian influenza impacts on waterbirds Great Salt Lake conservation challenges Drought, water use, and habitat loss Data centers and water consumption How pelican populations are changing across North America Whether you're a waterfowl hunter, birder, conservationist, or simply someone who enjoys watching wildlife, this episode offers a fascinating look into one of North America's most remarkable birds.

“Hyloom” tomato varieties have become popular with growers for the combination of heirloom flavor and looks, and grower-friendly traits like improved vigor and disease resistance. In this interview we talk with Greg Vogel, Assistant Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Cornell University, who is working on breeding hyloom tomato varieties. If you're a tomato nerd you're in luck because we go deep on them in this interview. We talk about what makes an heirloom, what makes a hyloom and the traditional breeding practices that allow any farmer to try their hand at making one. We also talk about how they try to breed new hyloom varieties strategically so they outperform their parents. In the process we cover the genetic basis of a lot of things you might have noticed in the field, like why long-fruited tomatoes tend to get more blossom end rot, why heirlooms tend to have more defects like zippering and catfacing, why there tend to be more of those defects at the beginning and end of the season, and lots of other tomato nerdery!

In this episode, I'm sharing my thought process behind breeding performance horses with a purpose and having the end goal in mind from the very beginning. From cow-run crosses to run-run crosses, I break down some of the strengths, challenges, and tendencies I've experienced with different types of horses and why not every cross fits every rider or discipline.Whether you're raising rope horses, barrel horses, or all-around performance horses, having a plan matters. The better we understand the horse we're trying to create, the better chance we have of setting them up for long-term success.

Jeremy Zakis details a burgeoning mouse plague in Western and South Australia, where mice are breeding rapidly and have become resilient to standard toxins. In response, the government has authorized farmers to double the dosage of zinc phosphide bait. This surge in prey has caused a corresponding increase in snake sightings, as predators forgo hibernation to feed. Most notably, a large red-bellied black snake was discovered living inside the walls of an emergency operating theater at John Hunter Hospital. Authorities were forced to close the theater to remove the snake, which had likely been eating local mice. (3/3)1927

Ang Roell of They Keep Bees joins Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman for another installment of the Beekeeping Today Podcast Queen Series. Ang shares the story behind building a migratory queen breeding operation and explains how years of working with Carniolan, Russian, and hygienic stock shaped the breeding philosophy behind their Massachusetts-based apiary. The conversation explores the realities of raising queens professionally, including drone saturation, mating yards, queen cells, virgins, instrumental insemination, and the challenges of selecting for Varroa-sensitive hygienic behavior while maintaining strong overwintering performance in northern climates. Ang discusses how They Keep Bees evaluates breeder queens using hygienic testing, mite washes, and Harbo assays, while also participating in collaborative research projects examining the heritability of hygienic traits. Jeff and Becky also discuss the growing interest in queen cells and virgin queens among smaller-scale beekeepers and why understanding these systems can improve overall beekeeping management. Ang explains practical approaches to walkaway splits, late-season nucleus production, and why there is no "silver bullet" queen when it comes to Varroa management. Throughout the episode, Ang emphasizes the importance of curiosity, experimentation, collaboration between scientists and working beekeepers, and building locally adapted stock that thrives within regional nectar flows and winter conditions. It is an insightful conversation for beekeepers interested in genetics, queen production, sustainable stock selection, and the future of honey bee breeding.
