    Is Your Doodle Actually Healthier Than a Purebred? The Science of Hybrid Vigor, Health Testing, and What the Data Shows with John Seabrook

    Have you questioned whether Doodle breeding really produces healthier dogs than purebred dogs? Or felt like you had to defend that choice without the science to back it up? You deserve honest, science-based answers that don't talk down to you or make assumptions about why you chose to become a Doodle parent. In this episode, I'm joined by John Seabrook, a staff writer at The New Yorker, who wrote a deeply reported piece on responsible breeding, the business of designer dogs, and what genetic diversity actually means for your dog's health. We cover:  • Health testing at the Goldendoodle Association of North America  • The science of hybrid vigor and the coefficient of inbreeding  • Why the AKC has refused to engage with Doodles  • What drove the rise of shelter Doodles after the pandemic  • What the best Doodle breeders do differently to protect your Doodle If you're a Doodle parent looking for science-backed answers on responsible breeding using balanced, honest research, this episode is not to be missed.

    Can Any Dog Use Talking Buttons? Bunny's Mom Alexis Devine Explains (Part 2)

Alexis explains why buttons without body language are basicallymeaningless, why any dog (yes, any dog) can learn this, how to handle the "my dog won't stop pressing the treat button" wall, and the medicine button moment that changed how she thinks about agency for animals.

Be first to see the lineup, get first access, and grab a complimentary gift while you wait 👉 doodleprosummit.com If you've watched a fluffy Sheepadoodle press buttons to "talk" to her mom, you already know Bunny. This week, Bunny's mom Alexis Devine joins me for Part 1 of a conversation I have wanted to have for years. 🐾 Alexis didn't start as a dog expert. She picked a Doodle because Doodles are cute, and then learned the hard and beautiful way that there is a sensitive, intelligent working dog living under all that fluff. We talk about why the looks can be deceiving, why so many Doodles are wired for alertness and herding, and what that means for the dog in your living room. Then we get into the buttons. Alexis explains how the system actually works, how Bunny pressed her very first button, and the insight that made me tear up: the magic isn't that the dog speaks English. It's that the buttons teach US how to listen. This one will change how you see your Doodle. Part 2 drops next Thursday.
