John Jamingo, Deuce, and Joe reunite for a wide-ranging, offbeat conversation brimming with personal stories, hot takes, and unscripted laughs. The episode opens with a humorous tribute to comedian Ruth Buzzi and a discussion of classic TV nostalgia, including reflections on the cast of “Gilligan's Island.” The hosts swap tales about their love–or lack thereof–for cats and dogs, segueing into the quirks of pet ownership and the personalities of different animals.Podcast production and technical mishaps get plenty of airtime, with John recounting behind-the-scenes challenges and bantering with Deuce about control freak tendencies and the chaos of remote recording setups. The trio delves into wild road rage stories, famously spotlighting a viral incident involving a woman defecating on a car during a Delaware County traffic altercation.They pivot to talking about age-gap relationships, the dynamics of dating as older men, and the absurdities of gold-digging rumors. The hosts also debate cooking preferences—from ketchup on tacos to pineapple on pizza—and share regional food opinions. Riffs on generational divides, woke culture, energy policy, and nostalgia for classic cartoons round out the episode, punctuated by playful jabs and self-deprecating humor.Episode's topics:The “death” and legacy of comedian Ruth Buzzi; hoaxes and classic TV references Reminiscing about “Gilligan's Island,” Alan Hale Jr., and 1970s-80s television Discussion of pet ownership—cats vs. dogs, poodle stories, and animal personalities Podcast production mishaps: recording technology frustrations, remote setups, and microphone placement Behind-the-scenes podcast editing, co-hosts' quirks, and “control freak” tendencies Viral Delco road rage incident: a woman defecating on another woman's car Obituaries and the (dark) humor in how death is announced Age, dating, and relationships: age gap couples, gold diggers, and personal dating “boundaries” Debates over food traditions: ketchup on tacos, pineapple on pizza, mayo and ketchup on cheesesteaks Fast food memories: Taco Bell, Burger King, Jack in the Box tacos Musings on wokeness, cancel culture, generational differences, and social media Electric cars, energy policy, and the politics of “going green” Prescription drug frustrations, bureaucracy, and healthcare gripes Reflections on classic cartoons: “Popeye,” “The Flintstones,” “Jane Jetson,” and “South Park” Podcast community shout-outs and changing trends in indie podcasting Lighthearted banter, sound board gags, and recurring in-jokes among the hostsSocial Media Links:Website: https://www.podpage.com/the-brand-x-podcast/ Twitter: https://x.com/brandxpod Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7690921Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandxpodcast Everybody Wang Chung Video (Check Out The Bass Player) https://youtu.be/BoXu6QmxpJE?si=KxkovZNRZq7QyaaaSouth Park Soulless Gingers: https://youtu.be/-nA54LxibLI?si=xzZru_FD_HHjRAiy

Gone To The Dogs with Shininger and CableMonday, September 23, 2024When the Autumn Oaks interviews suffered a hit by unexpected electronic foes, the onsite conversation with Plott aficionado Bill Shininger and youth handler/hunter Hannah Cable had to be rescheduled after the event.  What would seem to be a disappointment, lacking the on-site flavor of the crowd at Oaks, the interview turned out to be an easy-listening episode that listeners are sure to appreciate.Shininger is no newcomer to the podcast while Cable is a first-timer. The exchange runs the gamut of all things Plott dogs.  Shininger is a breeder and fancier that has hitched his kennel's star to a standout stud dog named Lazarus, winner of the trifecta for Plotts with three-in-a-row victories at the prestigious Plott Days event hosted annually by the National Plott Hound Association.The name Cable is legendary in the coonhound world through the exploits of Hannah's older brother Kevin, handler and promoter of the famed Big Money-line of Treeing Walker dogs.  Kevin's seventeen-year-old sister Hannah has also earned considerable acclaim but with her Plott dogs.  Showing and sometimes hunting Gambler, her first Plott and Joe, brother to Shininger's stud dog Lazarus, Hannah has compiled a long list of wins, largely in Bench Show competition but not all.Shininger and Cable appear in this episode because of their demonstrated willingness to give back to the sport they love.  Shininger's efforts in encouraging hunters to preserve their hounds through frozen semen and Cable's efforts to encourage and help other youth to excel in the hound sport she loves make them both worthy of your time.  The inspiration and encouragement they bring is infectious.

Bridging the Gap Between Art and Science of Dog Breeding Host Laura Reeves is joined by Aimee Llewellyn Zaidi, project manager for the International Partnership for Dogs. Llewellyn Zaidi's work is bridging the gap between art and science in dog breeding. They talk about inbreeding and genetic diversity, how those things go together and what you can do when there isn't a test for a health problem. [caption id="attachment_13097" align="alignleft" width="300"] Aimée Llewellyn-Zaidi and her Corgi.[/caption] “International Partnership for Dogs offers free resources for dog breeders and for vets to kind of give you some unbiased transparent guidance,” Llewellyn Zaidi said. “I am a third generation Pembroke Welsh Corgi owner. My grandparents had beef cattle in Oregon in the 1960s. They started their farm up in Silverton, Oregon. And my grandmother was a little bit of an Anglophile. And so she got two corgis back in the 70s in Oregon, which there weren't too many corgis out here then. “And she had these great aspirations of having them being working corgis and they worked really hard at cuddling. And they maybe, you know, barked at things, but yeah, they started as working dogs but were 100 % professional lap dogs, you know, as corgis really know how to do it. And I just never lost my love for the Pems. “I started working as a health manager for the Kennel Club in the UK (in 2012). And by the end of my time in the UK, I had developed a team and I was the head of health and research there, really focused on bringing evidence-based education resources to breeders and to the veterinary community and to breed advisors with lots and lots of tools and resources available. “I really wanted to take the science and kind of translate it into something practical. There wasn't a lot of in between at the time between researchers and the people who actually have to make the breeding decisions and that disconnect really bugged me. I think it really bugged me that there wasn't such an easy way for communication between really the art and the science of dog breeding, trying to bring those things a little bit closer together. “I want to take some of the mystery out of some of science or some of the resources that are available. I try to be really honest and transparent about what we know, what we don't know, what's still kind of out there, what things might be not the most ideal resources. “I feel like that honesty is the best way for people to be informed and to make ultimately the breeding decisions. You guys have the hard job. You have the job of deciding, right? So, I just want to give you information that can help you hopefully make those really informed decisions.”

Espen Engh Offers a Master Class on Dog Breeding Famed Norwegian Greyhound breeder and judge, Espen Engh, is back with host Laura Reeves offering a Master Class on dog breeding. “When we started out, there was a combination of two very different British strains that had proven that it worked really worked,” Engh said. “Those two breeders were at the end of their career and they hadn't mixed their dogs a lot while they were still active. But some very clever breeder very quickly found out that combining those two lines worked extremely well and produced dogs that had been almost unheard of before truly high quality. “So we collected different crosses between those two lines to combine our own strain to start out with. And I do think it helped a lot that my mother had been active in the breed for 20 years before breeding the first litter. She had been judging for many years as well. We didn't have to do a lot of the beginner's mistakes. So from day one, we were able to start at a high note. “When the breeder repeated (that successful breeding of two disparate lines) by luck or persistence, we were able to buy what we considered to be the best bitch in that repeat litter. And she turned out to be just as good as or probably better than those puppies from that first combination. So we were able to start with a really phenomenal bitch. “We had a phenomenal male at the time too. He was runner up top dog all breeds in Norway. And maybe if we were amateurs, or if my mother was an amateur, we would have bred those two together, but they didn't really fit. We would double up on faults. The male turned out not to be a good stud dog at all. And we had lots and lots of litters for other breeders. We never used him. So rather than using that top winning really beautiful dog, which didn't fit the bitch, we didn't do that from the start. “So our first combination was quite successful and we got an outstanding bitch in that first combination. And then we quite quickly realized that in order to progress, you know, now we have like two generations of phenomenal bitches, we would never be able to be big breeders number wise. We didn't have a big kennel, we didn't have the style, the facilities to breed dogs on a large scale. So we had to make a system where you can actually breed successfully from a limited number of dogs. “And I thought, why not just base it on breeding from the very best bitch of each generation? And that's what we did. When we were at the most active, we would have three or preferably four litters from the very best bitch of each generation. “As Greyhounds are very fertile, you'll get an average of like 10 puppies or nine, 10, 11, 12 puppies. Each of those top bitches would then have 20 daughters to choose from. I mean, in every litter, we would keep all the bitches that were thought were good enough. Most of them never just one, two or three. And we'd run them on until they were fully grown so we would know for sure who was the best. And selected the best bitch of each generation and repeated that. “Now, if the mother is great, the grandmother is great and the great -grandmother is great, you're very likely to get the really good one out of 20 bitch puppies, aren't you? But We also need some males to breed them to. “We also chose the second-best bitch in the generation. Remember the mother had four litters, she would be bred to four different males. We selected the second-best bitch from each generation, preferably a half-sister to the main bitch, which I call the alpha bitch. So the second best bitch, the beta bitch, we would try outcrosses on her.”

What do you do when someone comes after you publicly on your social media? One of the breeders I work with has built a nice Instagram following. She has beautiful dogs and has been moving forward in breeding her dog, who is 14 months. She made the announcement on her Instagram that she was planning on breeding and a trainer went in her comments and began to ask questions about when her dog was born, and this trainer claimed, that without a doubt, she was a backyard breeder because she couldn't have done hips until she was two years old.  She tried to explain that she had used preliminary testing and that her dog had passed with flying colors, but the trainer wanted nothing to do with it, it wasn't open for discussion, the trainer made her statement and claimed that she had to say something because it was saving dogs from being in shelters.  In today's episode we'll discuss the different ways you can manage a situation like this as well as how to determine which path to taken in the given situation.

This episode is the second installment to our three-part series on the changing market, whether you should pause your breeding, if you're being ethical, and the upcoming, how to downsize your program, while retaining your bloodlines.  Here we discuss what ethical and unethical dog breeding is, and then we dive into how the economy and supply & demand play into that ethics.  There's a cheatsheet that goes with this episode! I hope you enjoy!  

Some people believe in rescuing dogs and others prefer to buy a dog from a breeder. It's an individual choice and we shouldn't shame others for how they acquire their dog. What are the pros and cons of each? Amy Lane joins me in discussing what responsible breeding actually looks like and the proper health testing involved. Do you know what to look for when shopping for a purebred puppy? Never stop learning and listen in!

AKC Obedience is a dog training skill like few others. For the most part it is women dominating the sport and everyone knows everyone. I have competed in AKC obedience all the way from Novice to Utility. The person that first introduced me to the sport many years ago was Flo Walberg. We have stayed friends over the years and I thought it would be great to get her on the show and talk about dog training and more. Flo has competed at the highest levels and WON at those levels. She has trained, competed and titled Border Collies as well as Rottweilers over the years. To watch Flo compete is awesome. She is composed, professional and a TOP COMPETITOR. There are only a few people I like to watch doing AKC Obedience and Flo is one of them. In this chat we talk about the mindset, the training, the dogs and her beginnings in the sport. No matter what style of dog training you're doing, you'll gain something from this podcast with the one and only Flo Walberg!

In this episode I discuss how every problems can work to our benefit, especially in this normalizing market. I'll discuss some perspective shifts and how to better write your marketing copy to speak to your buyers.  Interested in the Ideal Puppy Buyer Cohort? Join the Waitlist!

Breeding Theory Q&A From LIVE@5 Host Laura Reeves leads a conversation on breeding theory, replayed from a LIVE@5 live podcast from 2022. “As we all know, dog breeding is something of, to put it mildly, a passion project,” Reeves said. “Doing it well is something we all strive for. There are some tools that we can use to accomplish that goal. No matter what type of breeding program we have, we can all use these same tools to achieve success. Sort of the theory side of breeding, reading pedigrees, breeding concepts and health testing. “Coefficient of inbreeding is frequently shortened to COI. One of the great things is if you test both the sire and the dam of your litter, you will be able to get a predicted genetic COI based on the actual DNA. Then if you DNA test each of the puppies in your litter, you will be able to get an exact genetic DNA coefficient of inbreeding that will tell you exactly (what each puppy is). I think one of the things that many of us find sort of mind blowning is that puppies in a litter do not all have the same COI. They don't all have the same genetics. “And so when I did a half brother, half sister, a straight up inbreeding that I'd been planning for quite some time, and I knew what the pedigree COI was, I knew what the estimated or expected genetics COI was going to be, and I Embarked each of the 13 puppies and the actual COI in each of those puppies varied by as much as ten basis points. “So, it's really, really important to look at some of the tools that are now available to us. Dog breeding has always been a little bit of art and a little bit of science. Science is coming to the forefront and I don't want us to lose the art, but I want us to be able to make good use of the science. “Pedigree, genetic and actual COI is a very, very useful tool in our breeding program as we're going forward. Purebred is a level of inbreeding. That's what makes it purebred. Having a higher or lower level and how you use that and the healthy genes that you're doubling up on or the unhealthy genes that you're doubling up on make any enormous difference in your breeding program going forward.” Listen in as Laura and her listeners interact on important topics from breeding theories, health testing and more. Remember that LIVE@5 live podcasts drop on the Pure Dog Talk Facebook page the first Tuesday of every month! Join us there on March 7 for a conversation on GROOMING!
