S7 E13 A dash of gossip… Tell Me a Tail About Genetics! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The London contingent is looking a little weary, while the Scottish contingent is feeling the cold. After the customary weather chat, Lez and Ross move on to the evolution of the domestic dog, ethology, behaviourism and genetics.Their conversation raises more questions than can possibly be answered in a single episode, so watch this space for a dedicated genetics episode in Season 8 or 9. They also discuss the emergence of the “mini Cane Corso” and consider the relationship between selective bre

Read excerpt
What if we have been underestimating dogs all along?.In this episode, we sit down with our wonderful friend and colleague Dave McIver, a retired Police Dog Trainer and Senior Inspector who spent an incredible career working with police dogs across the UK..Dave’s journey started in a rather different direction.

This session offers an intriguing insight, even for the sceptical Londoner. Meanwhile, our Scottish contingent was already a convert,
S7E9 We do it for the love (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A political start and a dive into the terrifying world of AI… which is far outside this duo’s remit! Thankfully, the Londoner quickly calls a halt to that to change the vibe. The request is unicorns and rainbows… and then somehow it turns to tortoise sex?! . Obviously, the weather is discussed. Scotland is tropical… jeez! . A serious conversation about the dangers of water, rivers and seas follows. Dogs enjoy the water, but the Gundogs & Guard Dogs Duo are now a little more cautious! . A chat ab
