2.24: Seven Hallmarks of a "Good" Breeder (TMYK to Adopt or Shop Responsibly)
Season 2 Episode 24
Hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh aren’t here to preach “Adopt Don’t Shop”—but they are here to urge you to adopt or shop responsibly. After spilling the tea in a previous episode on what makes a “good” rescue, this week they tackle how to identify a responsible breeder (spoiler: it’s not your neighbor Linda with Golden Retriever puppies). From red flags to Merle micro Frenchie madness, they break down what ethical breeding really looks like—and why it matters.
Jenny recounts a chaotic (and hilarious) tale of a new foster dog who pulled off not one but two escapes, and this week’s Saving Shelter Strays intake is a powerful reminder of the importance - and transformation - of decompression.
“Not Your 9 to 5” channels its inner detective, applying a little Occam’s razor to unexpected puppy health mysteries, and in the Questions segment, you’ll meet four amazing dogs that somehow still haven’t found their people.
