Once again the podcast was graced by the presence of the great Don Blair - this time to discuss Noseworks.

Don trains 800-1000 folks a year, mostly throughout North America, and shares a number of trends, insights and interesting ideas from his huge base of experience.

There’s a lot of dog training related gold here regardless of your chosen discipline, and even more if olfaction is an interest or a speciality for you.

A significant part of this conversation also covers off on breed variances in detection work including some of Don’s personal preferences and associated risk management considerations for application of breeds in varying detection roles.

Don and I went where the conversation took us - discussing a whole range of topics and concepts along the way.

Laurie Boutzetis is a breeder of Rottweilers based in Melbourne, Australia.

As the owner of Seeuferhause Rottweilers, Laurie actively pursues the preservation of the true working Rottweiler character with a focus on performance, power and stability.

Laurie is also an active and accomplished IPO competitor, with a particular passion for tracking.

Coming to breeding through a history owning and training working dogs has strongly influenced Laurie's perspective on the aims of his breeding program, and he has travelled internationally to personally test many of the dogs that make up the Seeuferhause family tree.

There is also a lot of Rottweiler history discussed in this podcast, specifically in the context of the Aussie Rottweiler community.

I've known Laurie for many years, and consider him to be a close friend with a considered opinion.

This is certainly a longer conversation, but I feel that reflects the depth of friendship that Laurie and I share.

I sincerely hope that you all enjoy this conversation as much as Laurie and I enjoyed having it.

David McKelson made his way into the studio yet again - this time to share more about his life before dogs.

Not many folks have the kind of background Dave does, full stop - and very few (if any) have gone on to work with dogs in the way that Dave has.

Dave spent around 17yrs working in zoos, with a significant period of time at the tail end of his career spent working in a very senior role at a prominent zoo as the program manager of their elephant program.

Dave has never publicly spoken in this amount of depth about his experience in the zoo context, and the insight he shares about his career is both highly informative and engaging.

So grab your favourite beverage and settle in to listen to this episode - we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.
