Maripi Wooldridge on How to Make Your Dog a Winner Host Laura Reeves is joined by Maripi Wooldridge, handler of the 1995 Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show winning Scottish Terrier, Ch. Gaelforce Postscript. More recently, Maripi's Lakeland Terrier MM won the group here in 2022. Maripi takes us through how she thinks about making a dog a winner. [caption id="attachment_13576" align="alignleft" width="468"] Maripi Wooldridge judging the 2024 Wire Fox Terrier National Specialty show.[/caption] LR: If you want your dog to always be best in show ready? Any breed, what are your three top tips? MW: Conditioning both mental and physical. They have to be fed right, exercised right. Mentally, they have to be treated like they're best in show dogs so they know it. I think you always have to start out with a good dog and people think that ‘oh good enough is good enough' and good enough is just not good enough. A lot of people do some winning with “good enough” but to really have a top dog you have to have good ones and you have to manage them right. You have to manage how you go to dog shows, where you go to dog shows, and have a good relationship with your clients. Nowadays, there are way fewer good clients and money clients that can afford to do this business. LR: Treat it like a best in show dog. What does that mean to you? What does that look like to you? MW: Well, as far as my breeding program, I bring every puppy up like if it's going to be a good one. I think most good breeders and successful breeders do that. Anybody that can pick a puppy at eight weeks and put their mortgage on it, they're way better than me. But when you get them in as a handler, they have to feel special. They have to feel special over the class dogs that are gonna go home in a month and a half. They have to have things whether it's walks, whether it's put on the table every day, and even if you just brush their coats or clean their coats or pet 'em, so that they know they are special. Bring them in last instead of first, so that they are the big dogs around. I mean, little things that mean a lot to the dogs that people don't even think about. First out in the morning, that's very big if you want a dog to feel special. It makes a huge difference, especially with the smart breeds. I mean, there's some dogs that doesn't really matter, they're fine, I'm here. But with breeds that are clever and smart, you have to bend over backwards. I had an assistant when I was showing Peggy Sue that would go in the crate room in the middle of the night with a flashlight to look into her crate to see how she was laying because she would wake up in the morning and have like a little wrinkle on the side of her coat. So she made bedding so that she would not get that little wrinkle on the side of her thigh. That level of attention is absolutely needed for a dog to give you everything they have.

Click here for a machine-generated transcript. Jo Ann Glim and her husband were enjoying the semi-retired lifestyle in their new, Florida home. They enjoyed day trips, volunteer activities, and other adventures. Jo Ann was starting a new temp gig at the Tropicana offices, and they were making all sorts of plans for the coming years .A blood vessel deep in Jo Ann's brain had other plans. It ruptured and damaged her Thalamus on her first day at a new temp job. Jo Ann would spend two weeks basically unconscious. With lots of work, determination, a a great team, she dove into her recovery. Twenty four years later, she joins us to talk about her journey, her writing, the risks of being a problem solver, and the things that helped along the way. Her book, Trapped Within: A True Story of Survival, Recovery, Love, and Hope* is available on Amazon. About Jo Ann Glim Jo Ann Glim was born in Chicago, Illinois to a military family and raised in Anacortes, Washington in the far reaches of the Pacific Northwest in a three-generational household. Even though the family was poor, she never knew it. Poverty taught her life skills: self-sufficiency, creativity, and saving for a rainy day. Her childhood home was filled with love. Tragedy struck when she was fourteen and her mother passed away. Within three weeks, her grandparents were relocated to a nursing home in Illinois and she was taken in by her mother's sister. Everything she had known to be home was gone. After she finished school, Glim's career followed three paths: MEDIA - (as a disc jockey/copywriter) WSDM-FM Chicago, KMPX-FM San Francisco, and KIKI-AM Hawaii; and continued in COMMUNICATIONS - a forty-year freelance portfolio with credits including an award-winning column in fourteen northern Illinois newspapers; one-liners for nationally known comedians; monthly articles for Manatee County Florida's Chamber of Commerce Current magazine, to name a few. She took courses in BUSINESS MANAGEMENT - at a local college and after moving to the suburbs, began working for Kelly Services. Sixteen years later, she retired as an on-site Human Resources Manager responsible for the temporary needs of a Fortune 500 company. She now lives in Florida with her husband, Bill, and their Scottish Terrier, Lucy. Her passions are writing, photography, and travel. She loves Chicago pizza, and is happiest travelling with her hubby, playing handbells, or on hiking trails with her camera and dog. Book Jo Ann sent me a copy of her book before we talked. The book, Trapped Within: A True Story of Survival, Recovery, Love, and Hope*, chronicles her stroke and rehab experience. She gets deeper into her relationships with doctors, therapists, and her therapy roommate and shares fears, frustrations, and lessons learned along the way. Jo Ann writes with a crisp style that's easy to read. Her chapters are short. If you can read only a few pages without a nap, it's a nice choice. Or you can just read chunks of it at one go. You can find Trapped Within on Amazon in paper or eBook versions. Check it out at http://Strokecast.com/TrapedWithin* "Trapped Within": Book Trailer Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and the 5 Stages of Grief Kubler-Ross wrote about grieving and death. Recovering from stroke is similar, except instead of grieving over the loss of another person, we are grieving for the loss of our prior selves. Getting through that process takes time, but it also helps us adapt to the new life we have after stroke. The 5 stages of grief are: Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance. If you're struggling with moving on with your life a neuropsychologist or other counselor can help you navigate this path. Hack of the Week Lainie Ishbia from Trend-Able, who I spoke with in Episode 136 suggests that if you struggle with fastening buttons on a shirt, you can get around that. Just sew (or have someone else sew) the shirt closed at the buttons and turn it into a pull over. That way, you can still wear those stylish button down shirts without spending hours dealing with fussy closures single-handedly. Another option for those shirts, if you're not ready to get them sewn up, is to get a button puller*. This is an inexpensive device that makes it easier to fasten buttons with one hand. I use mine most when I'm trying to put my dress shirts on a hanger. Either way, you now have 2 fewer reasons to not wear that nice shirt. Links Where do we go from here?

We had weekly discussions. ‘OK let's talk about heads tonight.’ We'd go round the table and everyone would say something and ‘OK who do you think has a good head? Who do you think has a bad head? Do you have a picture? Go get a picture.’ One night we’d talk about shoulders and why the shoulder needs to be a wrap-around, why the shoulder needs to be well laid back, why the shoulder blade and the upper arm have to be the same length, to make it a proper working hound, how the back end has to match the front end… How the pieces fit. It's form and function, which has stuck with me forever, and that's my basis is form and function judging. “It's amazing how many people in AKC, UKC … have no understanding how to read a standard. How to interpret a standard and how to go to somebody and talk to somebody about the standard. The how’s why’s and wherefores of studying standards. At the International show where we had to write a critique, we had to know the standards. What I ended up doing was showing people what the standard says about their dog. And they say ‘oh, I didn't know that’ and it's a whole educational program that is missed.” In the “Dream Best In Show Lineup” game, Martin’s choices were: Sporting – English Springer Spaniel, Ch Salilyn's AristocratHound – Afghan Hound, Ch Triumph Of GrandeurWorking – Doberman Pinscher, Ch.

In this podcast episode, we tour a couple of centuries of presidential dogs, the canine confidants of our Commanders-in-Chief. America truly is the land of opportunity. Just ask the lucky dogs who went from rags to riches solely from being in the right place, on the side of the road, at the right time. Dogs have been a welcome presence in the White House since the time of George Washington. For an in-person tour through Presidential pups, visit the AKC Museum of the Dog in New York. The Museum’s Presidential Dogs exhibit opens to the public on September 8, 2020. Bonafide Bits: George Washington was a dog lover and a serious breeder Warren G. Harding’s Airedale Terrier, Laddie Boy, was featured in thousands of press stories Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Scottish Terrier, Fala, was mentioned in the President’s speech to labor leaders George H. W. Bush’s English Springer Spaniel, Millie, became a best-selling author Barack Obama gifted his daughters a Portuguese Water Dog puppy after winning the Presidential election Featured Breeds: American Foxhound American Foxhounds are good-natured, low-maintenance hounds who get on well with kids, dogs, even cats, but come with special considerations for prospective owners. They are closely associated with Revolutionary heroes and the rolling estates of old Virginia. Discover more about American Foxhounds at AKC’s American Foxhound Breed Biography. Briard The Briard packs so much loyalty, love, and spirit into its ample frame that it’s often described as a "heart wrapped in fur." The dashing good looks of these muscular Frenchmen radiate a distinct aura of Gallic romance and elegance. Discover more about Briards at AKC’s Briard Breed Biography.

Discover more about Airedale Terriers at AKC’s Airedale Terrier Breed Biography.

Discover more about English Setters at AKC’s English Setter Breed Biography. German Shepherd Dog There are many reasons why German Shepherd Dogs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German Shepherd Dogs will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there’s a “certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships.” Discover more about German Shepherd Dogs at AKC’s German Shepherd Dog Breed Biography. Great Dane The easygoing Great Dane, the mighty “Apollo of Dogs,” is a total joy to live with—but owning a dog of such imposing size, weight, and strength is a commitment not to be entered into lightly.

Favorite quotes of the episode: As I was reading the research, I thought, ‘Women have it really hard in the vet med industry.’ “SWSWSW: So What what everyone else think’s, Somewhere out there, Someone is Waiting for me to make a difference.” BIO Dr. Clint Neill is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech. Dr. Neill received his Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from Oklahoma State in 2017. His research focuses on labor markets and food system economics. Specifically, he has worked on analyzing the veterinarian industry and what factors affect veterinarian income. Dr. Neill’s current work on Veterinary Economics is focusing on the factors that affect the gender wage gap. He has published several academic papers on the topic of Veterinary Economics and plans to continue this line of research for a long time. Dr. Neill has worked with the AVMA Economics Division for almost five years and has a passion to help all veterinarians succeed within the industry. In regards to food system economics, his research focuses on consumer perceptions of food labeling, consumer reactions to health information, and the economics of antimicrobial resistance. His passion for food economics began with his love to cook AND eat. Clint also holds an extension appointment. Through this appointment, he works with food business throughout Virginia in business planning and startup. He is originally from Texas and lives with a trouble-making Scottish Terrier (who has his own Instagram! @adventuresofsamthescottie). Episode Overview I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals.

Clean Paws Are Very Important For a Scottie, You Know DWAA Award Winners Rod Ott, Pilar Kuhn, Larry Linder and Lisa Peterson at the awards banquet. Pilar Kuhn and Rod Ott, authors of the award-winning children’s book “Clean Paws are Very Important for a Scottie, You Know” joined host Laura Reeves live at Westminster Kennel Club. Scottie registrations are down, Kuhn said. The breed has witnessed an astonishing 70 percent decrease in overall number of registrations in the last 15 to 20 years. Ott believes the “Adopt don’t shop” mentality has impacted registrations. He also notes that breeders have aged out and the overwhelming number of activities available makes it harder to get young people involved. Kuhn and Ott share with Laura the five-year long story of developing the book idea, acquiring the illustrations, battling cancer, and the life-saving focus the project provided. The hardback http://www.bravoscotties.com/our-book.html (book) brings children’s attention to purebred dogs, teaches life lessons and features charming illustrations of Scottish Terriers. “With every purchase of our book, we will be donating a portion of the profits to help fund research for childhood cancer and to the https://www.stca.biz/health/health-trust-fund (Scottish Terrier Club of America Health Trust Fund),” Kuhn said. “Why? Our lives were changed several years ago when we sold a Bouvier in 2014 to a young girl Noah Nechemia who was going through recovery from medulloblastoma. She is now 4 years a Survivor. Childhood cancer receives less than 4 percent of all funding toward research and we are not OK with this. We are donating a portion of the profits from the sales of our books to the http://www.cprit.state.tx.us/ (Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas) that did so much for Layla Stamp and her family and because of our dedication to preserving the Scottish Terrier, we want to help support research on health problems affecting Scottish Terriers.” Bravo Scotties Chicory and Dee Dee will be going through the Pet Partners International Therapy Dog program to become certified Therapy Dogs and will later accompany the authors not only to hospitals to visit children, but also to elementary schools around the country. In the schools, Kuhn will read the book to children and help educate them on the Scottish Terrier and give kids a chance to meet a real, live Scottie. Support this podcast
