Training Without Conflict Podcast Episode Thirty-Four: Louis Donald
Training Without Conflict® Podcast Episode Thirty-Four: Louis Donald
If you are German Shepherd lover, this episode is for you!
This week’s episode epitomizes the reason I started my podcast.
I wanted to have in depth conversations and talk dogs with some of the most accomplished, knowledgeable, and interesting people on the planet.
Louis Donald is one of the world’s foremost experts on the German Shepherd breed.
Louis has had a lifelong passion for the German Shepherd dog.
At the young age of 26, he was elected President of the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia and held the position for 2 decades.
His book, The Definitive German Shepherd Dog, in my opinion should be MANDATORY reading for anyone not only interested in German Shepherds, but dogs in general.
Louis became a fully licensed working dog judge in 1974, and in 1978, he became Australia’s first fully licensed SV German Shepherd Dog Judge, and at the time, the youngest SV judge in the world.
His knowledge about the breed, to put it mildly, is vast.
He is a true dog man with a passion for German Shepherds.
In the podcast, we discuss the origins of the German Shepherd dog, how the division between working and show lines occurred, problems facing the German Shepherd Dog breed in present day, and some of the deepest and darkest secrets of the German Shepherd dog lineage going back to some of the breeds most heralded studs.
The 3 hours we talked absolutely flew by and we still had more to talk about, but we agreed to save it for another episode.
This is absolutely one of my favorite podcasts to date, and I know you will all love it.
