S4E9 Take a breath

If you listen to just one of our podcasts, make it this one!

Lez and Ross are joined by the incredible Julie Shelton from Appledown Dog Rescue.

With over 30 years of experience in dog rescue, Julie offers a compelling yet sobering look into the world of dogs in 2024.

In this episode, we delve into a variety of topics, including:

Professional dog breeders

Overseas dogs

Pedigree dog breeders

XL bullies

Dog wardens

Julie’s insights are both fascinating and eye-opening.

We are truly in awe of Julie and the countless individuals like her who tirelessly champion the cause of dogs.

These unsung heroes rarely receive the recognition or rewards they deserve, especially on social media.

We sincerely encourage everyone to help in any way they can and to cherish their dogs even more today.

----- oOo ----- Lez and Ross have both been in the industry professionally for well over 20 years and each has been involved with dogs for over 40 years.

Whilst sensibly they have stayed away from the ‘limelight’ regarding TV offers, they have regularly been on national and local radio, spoken at national events at NDWA, CFBA, and Kennel Club / Crufts events as well as bespoke speaking engagements for the Dog Safety Education Executive (DogSEE).

Ross wrote for Dogs Monthly Magazine for over 12 years and Lez was the first lady feature writer for a national Shooting Magazine (both Sporting Gun and Sporting Shooter).

They were also 'study buddies' and were the first in the UK to achieve a Masters Degree (Professional Practice) in Canine Behaviour and Psychology in 2011. They work well together and apart, support and work with dog rescue organisations and train professional dog trainers and behaviourists.

Different as chalk and cheese, but maybe not as different as they like to think.
