100 – Celebrate Our 100th Episode

Pure Dog Talk's 100th Episode - Thanks to Our Listeners!

Pure Dog Talk Celebrates 100th Episode!  Laura Reeves reminisces and reminds our listeners about summer, dog shows, and celebrations.

Laura Reeves and Mary Albee

It's been a journey. Laura Reeves, host of PureDogTalk,  on-the-spot reporter, newspaper journalist, PHA Handler and second generation dog breeder. Mary Albee, producer, Norwegian Elkhound fancier since 1985, has 38 years in film and television as stunt performer, stunt coordinator and 2nd unit director.

Why Pure Dog Talk?

Passion.  Love for our breeds.  Stupidity? Why spend hours and hours planning, recording, editing and publishing a podcast or "radio show on demand"?

Giving Back

Pure Dog Talk is our way of giving back.  Giving back to our mentors, to the generations of dogs that have touched our lives, passed over the bridge, but remain alive in our hearts.

Preservation

Preservation efforts for the future existence of our breeds,  preservation of our mentors history and knowledge, preservation and fight for all dog sports right to exist.

Future of Pure Dog Talk

We don't know... it's a journey for us and with you, our listeners. We watch as dog magazines fail, as PETA and HSUS efforts limit our rights to breed and own dogs, as clubs try to put on shows with only a few aging members... We listen to the moans and groans of declining entries, poor quality dogs, lack of good dog breeders...

What is Your Choice?

At Pure Dog Talk, our choice is positive, period. We look to a purebred dog-filled future. Our goals are to help foster or sponsor positive, educational programs that improve our breeds, breeders, and rights of ownership:
  • Preservation Breeding Programs
  • Breeder and Exhibitor Education
  • Youth and Public Education
  • Archives for Breeds and Breeders
THRIVE: Prosper, flourish, bloom, blossom, advance, succeed, boom, to develop vigorously.

Our Future Secret is Out... the Breed Shows

By request, some breeds are asking for breed specific episodes. Pure Dog Talk plans to do better than that... (oh...there went the rest of my vacation and time off)

The Breed Shows

If your Breed Club would like, Pure Dog Talk will help create a channel (show) just for your breed.  The purpose is to archive breed mentors/judges/breeders and provide education for the next generation and the public. We have two requirements...
  1.  A breed club "host"
  2. Parent Club support

Laura Reeves

Laura is an AKC Breeder of Merit and retired member of the Pro-fessional Handlers Association. Laura is a second-generation breeder of German Wirehaired Pointers, under the Scotia Kennel banner.

Scotia dogs have earned well over 100 titles, in the show ring, field and performance events. Her dedication to breeding dual purpose dogs reflects a stated goal of preserving the all-weather, rugged, sound-minded gun dog the breed’s founders envisioned.

Laura served the GWPCA as AKC Gazette columnist, Judges Education Committee member and chair, Vice President, Presi-dent, National Events Coordinator and Wire~News Editor.

Her background as a newspaper reporter, marketing rep and re-searcher/writer for audio driving tours has served her well in her side projects. Her current adventure as host of PureDogTalk podcast lends her particular combination of skills to an outstanding breeder and exhibitor education channel.
