pushed his team, was understanding very clearly of the policy
of history.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
As a black woman who is queer, those are.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
The words of John Katanzi Drown Jackson, our Supreme Court

a situation where the forty percent sure of people.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
As almost don't rub I really don't know what he
said at the end of this, and I don't think
he knows what he said either.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
As a black woman who is queer. It was somebody
that I saw every single day who was shark, who
pushed his team, was under standing very clearly of the
policy of history.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
He said he's going back to bed.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
A lot of people believe white people. They're so fatigued,
they're so exhausted.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
You know, your kids in the hospital, your parents in
the hospital, your spouse in the hospital, you're with a
friend who's in the hospital, or house burns down. You
get the call at nine o'clock at night, you're getting
ready for bed, and you're there all night, and your
eyes are scratchy on the back of your eyes, it
(03:38):
just like they're sand in there.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
And you're tired, and you're kind of gritting your teeth
and you're coffeed out, and you can imagine what it
must be like for people who are strung out on
coke or meth for days at a time.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Because for you, this is man and you're so tired,
but you know sleep won't come easy. You just it's
it's painful. You just want it to end. You just
want to sleep in peace. That's what most Americans feel about.
(04:15):
The constant, perpetual, continuous race baiting by people who are
not very smart, not very competent, and don't like you.
And so the idea is, well, if we just hire
a black lesbian immigrant, then then then it'll go away,
(04:41):
because see we did it here, or we give you this.
It's never going away. It can't go away. It's Glenn
close in fatal attraction.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm not going to be ignored.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You don't get it. You just you don't get it.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
You my weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Why can't we just be like that again? What are
you doing? Are you saying? Please don't go?
Speaker 8 (05:11):
Please don't sorry, I'll tell your wife you do, I'll
kill you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
She'd only takes a phone.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
You'll never get away from this. Jasmine Crockett is not
going to build a big company. She's not going to
write the great American novel. She's not going to get
married and have children and and raise them and contribute
to the community. These people like this, they're race hustlers.
(05:58):
It's all they've got. They make it much harder for
other black people. By the way, other black people don't
like them. These are people who run around. You have
to give this to me because I'm black. And then
finally people will relent, and then there you go, yep, yep,
(06:20):
you're in. And then immediately you're not listening to me
because I'm black. Oh, dear God, I thought we had
kind of given you. Oh no, no, no, this will
never end. Once you understand, you can stop with the appeasement.
Neville Chamberlain. There will not be peace in our time,
(06:45):
not until you give up everything you have, your safety,
your security, your bank accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's what this is about. That's what it's always been about.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
This is the same thing with the gay thing, which
became the transgender thing.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It starts as tolerance.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
Accept me for me, okay, all right, Well no, first
it is don't beat me up.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Okay, yeah, no, more brutality than tolerance. Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Then acceptance. Then they want you to be part of it.
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I sport slop.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
Michael Ferry Shell.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
In nineteen seventy six, a black congressman from Houston by
the name of Barbara Jordans. She represented the eighteenth Congressional district.
She would later be dishonored by Sheila Jackson Lee, representing
that district for twenty nine years and constantly claiming that
she was the heir to the Barbara Jordan legacy, she
was the contrary of the Barbara Jordan legacy. Barbara Jordan
(07:51):
was preaching to black and white alike that hard work
and sacrifice, and education and thrift were the keys to success.
Barbara Jordan in seventy six delivered the keynote address to
the Democrat National Committee where convention where Jimmy Carter was
nominated and elected. It was not until nineteen ninety two
(08:14):
that Democrats elected another that the country elected another Democrat.
Of course, that was Bill Clinton. The symbolism was not lost.
We lost eighty eighty four, eighty eight, it's ninety two.
I'd like Barbara Jordan to come back speak at the
Democrat National Convention, which she did. During that speech, she
talked about illegal immigration and how a nation without any
(08:40):
borders is not a nation at all. How you owe
it to your citizenry to secure your border. That's what
makes a nation. Throughout history, we've understood that. And it
doesn't really matter who you get to, whether it's Vabor
or Locke, it really doesn't matter what political scientists you consult.
(09:05):
In their writings, there is a sense of a culture
and an identity, but a defined barrier by which on
the land this is ours keep out. We'll let you
in for trade or tourism, but on our terms, and
the moment that.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You don't do that, you're not a nation.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
So Barbara Jordan in the nineties represented what Democrats mindset
was I'll remind you that we have a Harry Reid
speech where he talks about the violation of of the
anchor baby provisions, and he was against it because back
(09:46):
then in the nineties, the Democrats wanted to be the
workingman's party. An illegal immigration was helping rich industrialists, not
the Democrat Party. So you had Democrats working hard against
illegal immigration, including Joe Biden, and somewhere along the way
(10:06):
that flipped because the money came in and they said, look,
you can't hold on to the white working class or
any of the working class. They're going to bleed off
the blacks and Hispanics that actually go to work all day.
So you're going to have to replace them. That's the
great replacement theory. You're going to have to replace them
(10:27):
with illegal aliens, with people from other countries that you
can control, people that come from socialist traditions.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But it wasn't always the case the.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
Democrat Party that today, their latest salvo against Donald Trump
is poor people can't eat. I'm going to go ahead
and say it right now, and I mean this. I
want you to understand this. We don't need to be
feeding people from our government in this country. If people
(11:00):
are going to starve if our government doesn't feed them
in the richest country in the history of mankind, that
is on them, not you. It is not your obligation. However,
if you feel the need to feed people who do
not feed themselves, contribute to a church or a food
(11:23):
bank or some other charitable cause and hold them responsible.
We've got people living very large off of hustling, defrauding,
scamming the government, which is your money, and the Democrats
are stoking this. You're a victim, You're sad, you're pitiful.
(11:47):
Republicans are taking all you've got. It's the children. It's
always for the children. Most Democrats don't even have children.
Aoc will never have children, Ilhan Omar will never have children,
and Crockett will never have children. Nancy Pelosi, it's a
wonder she had a child. These people are not mothers.
(12:08):
They're not maternal, they're not loving. Don't act like anything
is for the children. They want children exposed to men's
wieners barely covered by their bikini as they come in
and read to them at drag time story hour in kindergarten.
They don't give a damn about children. It's all about power,
but not too long ago, the Democrat Party was not
(12:31):
this way. In fact, it was quite different. Grabyan put
together this montage, which I think is quite telling.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Nearly thirty years ago, Robert Kennedy said, work is the
meaning of what this country is all about. We need
it as individuals, we need to sense it in our
fellow citizens, and we need it as a society and
as a people. He was right then, and it's right now.
(12:59):
From now on, our nation's answer to this great social
challenge will no longer be an ever ending.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Cycle of welfare. It will be the dignity, the power,
and the ethic of work.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Today we are taking an historic chance to make welfare
what it was meant to be, a second chance, not
a way of life. This bill will help people to
go to work, so they can stop drawing a welfare
check and start drawing a paycheck. It is now clearly
better to go to work than to stay on welfare,
clearly better because of actions taken by the Congress in
(13:32):
this session. It is clearly better to end the terrible,
almost physical isolation of huge numbers of poor people in
their children from the rest of mainstream America.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We have to do that today. We are ending welfare
as we know it.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
But I hope this day will be remembered not for
what it ended, but for what it began, A new
day that offers hope, honors responsibility, rewards work, and changes
the terms of the debate.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
For too many. Welfare has been a way of life
for too long. It has condemned too many on welfare
to a lifetime at the margins of our society. Today
we start to change all that.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
Anyone who wants to receive welfare must sign an individual
responsibility contract so that they're forced to agree upfront to
the conditions placed on receiving the benefit, and so that
they will have a plan from day one on how
to get themselves off of welfare. Put them to work
and make them want to go to work, and make
(14:37):
it reasonable for them to go to work. Be mandatory
work requirement for anyone receiving welfare.
Speaker 14 (14:42):
They actually have charged and run eds saying that President
Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare
reform bill I signed that moved millions of people from
welfare to work.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Wait, the requirement was for more work, la.
Speaker 14 (15:03):
I am telling you the claim that President Obama week
in welfare reforce work requirement is just not true.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You normally smell mister Biden the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And we recently came home from a trip to Palm Beach,
a listener trip, and we'd been away for four days.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We got back.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
The trainer who we use for George was he was
not able to get her over the first day we
were back, so it was not until Tuesday evening, so
we hadn't seen George in a week. And it's funny
because you don't realize how different your household is. If
(15:49):
you're a dog person, you don't realize how different your
household is when they're gone. And I always make fun
of catwomen, mostly because it's fun up that's them and
it's just a way to probe people.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
But if I'm honest, our house sounded empty.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
And we still have one kid at home right Michael
T's gone off to college rockets in his senior year,
but he has no use for us.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
He's busy, he's got.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Sports, and you know your senior year, there's something going
on every day. So my wife said, the house is
so quiet without George. She barks, she moves around, she's
loving on us. She's nudging us, she's begging for food.
I mean, she's she's just bringing life into the home.
It's crazy how much we love these darn things. And
(16:35):
I will tell you I have noticed that when people
get a dog for their elderly mother or father, what
a difference it makes, because dogs are so glorious. They
make us so happy. You've heard me over the years
talk about rough Greens. I got connected with rough Greens
r U f F roughgreens dot com. And by the way,
(16:58):
if you go there and you buy it, use the
code George because she loves getting credit for the fact
that she's the reason you went there. And I've told
you the virtues this. I got connected with rough Greens
several years ago when I met doctor Dennis Black, who
was a founder in Dallas, and we got to talk
in and he knew George Foreman, and George Foreman had
(17:18):
given me George, which is why I named her George
after him, and he knew her. He had a background
in boxing and he's a dog guy. We got talking
about gut health, and these are things that interest me
in humans already. We got talking about gut health and
coat and cancers and energy and all these different things,
and he said, well, I'm going to send you a packet.
(17:40):
You just try it. And I said, well, doctor Black,
I'm to be honest with you. My wife is very
fastidious about George's food. Because George is very fastidious, and
I can't really be honest with you. I can't change
out her food because we finally got something that works
for her.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And he said, you don't have to use scoop it
over the top. She doesn't like it, don't use it.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Well we did, and reluctantly, because we had a great
little system for her because she's a finicky thing.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And it changed everything. I said.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Three weeks in, I said, well, I noticed she has
more energy and I noticed she's not shedding and that
was a problem because I have allergies. And he said,
it's a ninety day deal. It'll take thirty days to
see what you've done. You're seeing it a little early.
And then he told me at sixteen and he told
me at ninety and like clockwork, that work. So anyway,
he had written a new book. I asked him about
(18:29):
the book, and I asked him if we could get
him on the show to talk about it. And it's
been hard to coordinate our schedules because he's working all
the time. I've been doing a lot of travel, but
without further ado, Doctor Dennis Black of Roughgreens dot com,
My Dog, My Dog Food and Gut health expert, Doctor Black,
(18:50):
Welcome to.
Speaker 15 (18:50):
The program, Michael Berry. Thank you for having me. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So I don't know how you managed to do it.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
You know, Rush Limbaugh used to say after his two books,
he said, I'll never write another one because I don't
have an iron butt. You manage every time I see you,
it's in a different city. You manage various enterprises. You're
constantly doing research and coming up with innovative, cutting edge,
crazy stuff that ends up working. You've got a family,
(19:19):
you built a home. I don't know how you found
time to write a new book, but you did, and
tell us about it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
Essentially, what the nexus for the book was was all
these customers that keep asking me these questions and they
email them in and I thought, maybe, you know, instead
of just answering these one at a time, to just
kind of compile them all into one thing and let
that be the.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Outline for the book.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
And so half of the book is for dogs, and
the other half is for cats.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
So if you're a dog person.
Speaker 15 (19:53):
And you don't have cats or don't like cats, don't
read the second half of the book. It's not for
you for cat people. But if you're a cat person
and you don't really like dogs, we'll read the second.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Half of the book, not the first half. But the
reality is.
Speaker 15 (20:10):
That we just took all the questions that people had
and we just formulated it into a table of contents,
and it turns out that literally within twenty four hours,
it became an Amazon number one bestseller. Because the name
of the book is a natural Path to Pet health,
(20:31):
how to save thousands on vet bills and dog food
or pet food, and so one of the things that
we included in the book was over thirty five recipes
on how to make food for your pet.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And it's not expensive.
Speaker 15 (20:47):
As a matter of fact, a lot of the stuff
that you needs to go in there, you probably already
have in your home, so we just teach you how
to make it. There's several pet foods on the market
are so expensive for a dog the size of yours
and mine I have four big dogs, it would be
(21:08):
over eight hundred dollars a month. For one dog just
for their food, and then it's still cooked and it's
it's not really a complete dog food.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
So that's what we decided.
Speaker 15 (21:19):
We're just going to show people how to make their
own dog food at home. You don't need something made
by a farmer. You can just do it yourself. And
people love it. It's we've had nothing but great reviews
because of it. But I will tell you, I'll warn
people ahead of time. When you get it, it's going
(21:40):
to list tons and tons of products that we have
at Rough Greens, all created by us at Rough Greens,
by the way, we have rough Greens for dogs, we
have Miogreens for cats. We have Rough Natural shampoos and
skin conditioners. We have Rough h twoo hydration products. So
(22:01):
we're going to recommend those things throughout the entire book.
And the reason is because they're the best products on
the market for dogs and cats. That's why we do it.
That's why we made them to begin with.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
You know, it's interesting for me. My wife is I
don't want to say a health nut because she doesn't
try to impose it on anyone else or make it
weird for anyone else. She has just experimented on her
body in her fifty seven years to figure out what
makes her feel good and what makes.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Her doesn't what doesn't. And she hasn't high.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
She has a high A one C even though she's very,
very healthy and works out and keeps her weight down
and all that. And that was genetics and she couldn't
help that. But just like my dad, she has aggressively
treated it and never needed insulin as a result of it.
She studies her blood sugar and all that. And so
we talk a lot. It's become kind of a hobby
(22:56):
for both of us about what we put into our bodies,
how much we sleep, how much water we drink, the
exercise we get, and we talk a lot about food
that goes into our body. And you and I have
had this conversation. I think Robert F. Kennedy Junior has
exposed and it truly makes me sad that with all
(23:17):
the advancements we made in this country, most Americans are
less healthy today than we were sixty years ago. And
the reason was we got away from and it's in
the title of the book, A Natural Path to Human Health,
and this is a natural path to pet health.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And as bad as it was for what.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
We did to the food for humans, it was even
worse to pets. We'll talk to doctor Dennis Black coming
up the book as a natural path to pet health.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Michael Verry, known as Thear, also known as El.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Doctor Dennis Black as our guest. He happens to be
a show sponsor. He's become a friend. I knew him
before he was a show sponsor.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
He sent me.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I think he sends everybody some supplements for our dog
to try. It's a supplement you put over the food.
And he didn't sell it, he didn't push it, he
didn't tell me and just give it a try to
know what you think. And my wife was one who
immediately noticed, because she brushes George three four times a day,
that she wasn't shedding like she was, and she noticed
that she had more energy. And we started noticing these improvements.
(24:32):
And I sent an email and I said, all right,
all right, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Let's talk.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
And I had him on the show I think before
he ever became a show sponsor. And we've kind of
developed a relationship through my dog talking with me about
questions I have for my dog. So we were talking
about the book is called it's a new book a
natural path to pet heill. Doctor Dennis Black, how frustrating
and kind of sad it makes me.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I love what Robert F.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Kennedy Junior is doing exposing the red dye and all
these terrible things that are going into our food. As
it turns out, and you can speak further to this,
doctor Blacks, as much as the human food cycle has
been corrupted, it's even worse for dogs.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And how sad is that?
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Yeah, it's not only is it worse, it's atrocious. The
reality is that people feed.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Their dog, you know, they go.
Speaker 15 (25:22):
It's overwhelming when you go to a big box store
to pick up food for your dog and you walk
down aisle after aisle, a bag after bag, and you know,
you see a picture of a dog jumping over a
log with a wolf and it says complete and balanced
nutrition and all these things. The marketing is just phenomenal
(25:43):
on these products.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
It's all a lie.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Every bit of it is a lie.
Speaker 15 (25:47):
I actually toured a dog manufacturing facility several years ago.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
I took my German shepherd with.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Me when I went, and we toured the facility and
there was kibble coming right out of the oven and
it was still warm. And I took a handful of it,
and I offered it to my dog, Buster, and Buster
just took one look at it, and then he turned
his nose up just look the other direction. I asked
my tour guide, I said, why won't my dog eat
(26:17):
this product? And he said, well, we're not done with
it yet. I said, oh, well, what do you have
to do? He said, we have to spray on palatability enhancers,
fats and oils and flavoring to get the dogs to
eat it. If we didn't do that, the dogs would
never eat eat kibble. And I thought, wow, dogs are
actually smarter than we thought. There is almost no regulation,
(26:38):
very little regulation on pet food. They make it look
like there's regulation, but it's not much. So artificial colors dies.
And I'm not here to badmouth to anyone, you know me, Michael, I'm.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Not here to badmouth anyone.
Speaker 15 (26:51):
But I can tell you if you just look at
these prepackaged dog foods that are anti kibble, but look
at them close, you'll find that most of them have
artificial colors, dyes, and synthetic vitamins. By the way, synthetic
vitamin is code word for your body can't use it.
And your dog's body can't use it either, so they
(27:13):
at best they will just sluff it off. The dog
food that's manufacturing, I mean, is a billion dollar industry,
and there's really no good dog food out there, which
so we decided at rough Greens. We decided, well, we
can do one or two things. We can create a
dog food and compete in the dog food space, or
(27:36):
we can make a supplement that you just add to any.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
Dog food and it makes it better.
Speaker 15 (27:41):
I said, let's go with the second option, because all
you got to do is add a spoonful of rough
Greens when the dog eats kibble NonStop. And remember there's
no live nutrition in kibble. When the dog eats kibble
non stop, what they end up with our nutritional deficiencies.
They show up as meta issues, skin issues, bad breath,
(28:03):
digestive issues, joint pain, all kinds of things like that.
And people think, oh, you know, I've got to take
my dog to the vet and get some apiquill because
my dog's allergies are really bad or whatever. No, all
you have to do is fix what you're feeding the
dog and those symptoms will all go away. The most
dog illnesses are not medical issues. At all their nutritional
(28:26):
deficiencies and when you add something as simple as rough
greens to their diet, and like I said, you want
to do it for a minimum of ninety days and
then you'll see that tons of benefits. You won't completely
heal them completely. Healing takes about one hundred and eighty days,
takes about six months to completely rebuild the gut and
(28:47):
the immune system. But once you get them healthy, then
you can just put them on a maintenance dose of
that stuff for the rest of their life. You're going
to add twenty five to thirty percent of the light
to the life span of your pet, given based on
other dogs of the same breed.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
The book is A Natural Path to Pet Health by
doctor Dennis Black.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I'm just curious. I don't know if I've ever asked
you what.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Percentage of your subscribers of folks who do what I
do and use the supplements and all that are cats
versus dog owners.
Speaker 15 (29:21):
So there's about eighty five million dog owners in America
and there's about sixty million cat owners, so it's a
roughly sixty to forty percent ratio. But the cat owners
almost own, almost universally have more than one cat right.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
If they have one cat, they usually.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Have three as a minimum.
Speaker 15 (29:45):
Dog owners twenty five percent of the time they have
two dogs or more, and a lot of people, believe
it or not, twenty five percent of pet owners have
both a dog and a cat. So that's why we
have several bundling options on rough greens.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Last last night, my wife and I were watching a
movie and George came and laid down beside us, and
she did this thing which always makes us last. She went,
she don't like to wait to the world is on her.
And it reminded me of a cocker Spaniel we had
years ago. And I grew up with cocker spaniels. And
my wife said, because she didn't grow up here, you
grew up India. And I've told her that when I
was growing up, cocker spaniels very popular.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Did cocker Spaniels just go away?
Speaker 11 (30:26):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Do? You see people who have cocker Spaniels.
Speaker 10 (30:30):
It's not.
Speaker 15 (30:31):
It's not a popular breed as much anymore. And the
reason is because they're they're very energetic, and sometimes they
can be overstressed by children, and so they're not a
great family.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
Dog per se.
Speaker 15 (30:47):
There's there's other dogs that are that are that are
much better as a family dog, and so a lot
of people don't get them because they're afraid that they
might get highly stressed around their kids and nip at
them or something of that. I don't mean to give
them a bad name, but that's the reason why they
got away from them as a breed.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Them. What are you seeing replacing them? What breeds for
people who well.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
There's several It depends on the size of the dog
and what your your lifestyle is. If you can brush
your dog on a regular basis, then shedding doesn't really
matter much, especially if you feed them rough greens, they'll
shed a lot less. Like you said, so, Golden Retrievers
are always a good dog. Labbadors are always a very
popular dog. Golden Doodles, believe it or not, a mix
(31:35):
between golden Retrievers and poodle is a great dog because
they're hypoallergenic, they don't shed as much.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
They're not terribly smart. They should be, but a.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
Lot of them are not terribly smart, but they're just
tons of fun for kids and family members. They're a
great companion for your family. One of my favorite dogs
for people with children though, is Airdales. Airdales are a
phenomenal beautiful dog. They're in the terrier family. Yeah, and
they're just great, beautiful dogs.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
And they're great for people with children.
Speaker 15 (32:10):
As a matter of fact, back in the previous century,
early nineteen hundreds of people used to get Airdales as
family pets, and they would put the baby on a
blanket out in the yard in the front yard, and
put the Airdale out there with them to babysits. And
the Airdale would keep the baby on the blanket, oh,
not let anybody come anywhere near the baby. And it
(32:30):
was just a natural instinct that Airdales had. And I
remember reading about that many times growing up in the fifties,
reading stories about Airdales and how protective they.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Were for children.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I did not know, Yeah, I did not know that.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
Yeah, it's a great, great dog.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
The big is a natural path to pet health.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
From our friend and big supporter of our show, doctor
Dennis Black,
It's that time time time time, walk and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Look, I mean we had all seen him aging, we
had all seen him tripping and misspeaking. We had all
seen evidence of decline.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
As a black woman who is queer. It was somebody
that I saw every single day who was shark, who
pushed his team, was understanding very clearly of the policy
of history.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
The best way to get something done if you if
you holds near and dear to you that you like
to be able to anyway from from uh Charlotte assumed
me from Charlotte one another line going from in Florida
down to Tampa of Prudence Kluptoker.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Yeah, America is a nation that can be defined in
a single word. I was gonna put him put Los
Angeles and uh and uh uh what am I doing here?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
For two reasons one two we haven't been able to
communicate it in a way that is I was mat
me say another way coming back. It's a ride on
the train all the way from ben to end. I've
written an awful lot on trains. I so I like
(01:38):
trains a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Solid meeting with with uh the they make a very
good point. Here's the deal, Here's what drives the driver
in the states that are affected.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Here's sad that you can do the drivers.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
I want to expresd prea K for three and four
year olds, millions of free care.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We have one thousand billionaires in America. I know the
average tax rate day pay eight e i g.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Eight percent, eight percent.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
As a black woman who is queer, those are.
Speaker 7 (02:21):
The words of John Katanzi Drown Jackson, our Supreme Court
justice have changed in the way that now you're in
a situation where the forty percent sure of people.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Coming across the border illegally. It's been here when he
left office.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
And I'm going to continue to move until we get
the total bank on the total initiative relative to what
we're going to do with more border control and more.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
As almost don't rub I really don't know what he
said at the end of this, and I don't think
he knows what he said either.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
As a black woman who is queer. It was somebody
that I saw every single day who was shark, who
pushed his team, was under standing very clearly of the
policy of history.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
He said he's going back to bed.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
A lot of people believe white people. They're so fatigued,
they're so exhausted.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
You know, your kids in the hospital, your parents in
the hospital, your spouse in the hospital, you're with a
friend who's in the hospital, or house burns down. You
get the call at nine o'clock at night, you're getting
ready for bed, and you're there all night, and your
eyes are scratchy on the back of your eyes, it
(03:38):
just like they're sand in there.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
And you're tired, and you're kind of gritting your teeth
and you're coffeed out, and you can imagine what it
must be like for people who are strung out on
coke or meth for days at a time.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Because for you, this is man and you're so tired,
but you know sleep won't come easy. You just it's
it's painful. You just want it to end. You just
want to sleep in peace. That's what most Americans feel about.
(04:15):
The constant, perpetual, continuous race baiting by people who are
not very smart, not very competent, and don't like you.
And so the idea is, well, if we just hire
a black lesbian immigrant, then then then it'll go away,
(04:41):
because see we did it here, or we give you this.
It's never going away. It can't go away. It's Glenn
close in fatal attraction.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm not going to be ignored.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Dan.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You don't get it. You just you don't get it.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
You my weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Why can't we just be like that again? What are
you doing? Are you saying? Please don't go?
Speaker 8 (05:11):
Please don't sorry, I'll tell your wife you do, I'll
kill you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
She'd only takes a phone.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
You'll never get away from this. Jasmine Crockett is not
going to build a big company. She's not going to
write the great American novel. She's not going to get
married and have children and and raise them and contribute
to the community. These people like this, they're race hustlers.
(05:58):
It's all they've got. They make it much harder for
other black people. By the way, other black people don't
like them. These are people who run around. You have
to give this to me because I'm black. And then
finally people will relent, and then there you go, yep, yep,
(06:20):
you're in. And then immediately you're not listening to me
because I'm black. Oh, dear God, I thought we had
kind of given you. Oh no, no, no, this will
never end. Once you understand, you can stop with the appeasement.
Neville Chamberlain. There will not be peace in our time,
(06:45):
not until you give up everything you have, your safety,
your security, your bank accounts.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's what this is about. That's what it's always been about.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
This is the same thing with the gay thing, which
became the transgender thing.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It starts as tolerance.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
Accept me for me, okay, all right, Well no, first
it is don't beat me up.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Okay, yeah, no, more brutality than tolerance. Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Then acceptance. Then they want you to be part of it.
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I sport slop.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
Michael Ferry Shell.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
In nineteen seventy six, a black congressman from Houston by
the name of Barbara Jordans. She represented the eighteenth Congressional district.
She would later be dishonored by Sheila Jackson Lee, representing
that district for twenty nine years and constantly claiming that
she was the heir to the Barbara Jordan legacy, she
was the contrary of the Barbara Jordan legacy. Barbara Jordan
(07:51):
was preaching to black and white alike that hard work
and sacrifice, and education and thrift were the keys to success.
Barbara Jordan in seventy six delivered the keynote address to
the Democrat National Committee where convention where Jimmy Carter was
nominated and elected. It was not until nineteen ninety two
(08:14):
that Democrats elected another that the country elected another Democrat.
Of course, that was Bill Clinton. The symbolism was not lost.
We lost eighty eighty four, eighty eight, it's ninety two.
I'd like Barbara Jordan to come back speak at the
Democrat National Convention, which she did. During that speech, she
talked about illegal immigration and how a nation without any
(08:40):
borders is not a nation at all. How you owe
it to your citizenry to secure your border. That's what
makes a nation. Throughout history, we've understood that. And it
doesn't really matter who you get to, whether it's Vabor
or Locke, it really doesn't matter what political scientists you consult.
(09:05):
In their writings, there is a sense of a culture
and an identity, but a defined barrier by which on
the land this is ours keep out. We'll let you
in for trade or tourism, but on our terms, and
the moment that.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
You don't do that, you're not a nation.
Speaker 8 (09:25):
So Barbara Jordan in the nineties represented what Democrats mindset
was I'll remind you that we have a Harry Reid
speech where he talks about the violation of of the
anchor baby provisions, and he was against it because back
(09:46):
then in the nineties, the Democrats wanted to be the
workingman's party. An illegal immigration was helping rich industrialists, not
the Democrat Party. So you had Democrats working hard against
illegal immigration, including Joe Biden, and somewhere along the way
(10:06):
that flipped because the money came in and they said, look,
you can't hold on to the white working class or
any of the working class. They're going to bleed off
the blacks and Hispanics that actually go to work all day.
So you're going to have to replace them. That's the
great replacement theory. You're going to have to replace them
(10:27):
with illegal aliens, with people from other countries that you
can control, people that come from socialist traditions.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But it wasn't always the case the.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
Democrat Party that today, their latest salvo against Donald Trump
is poor people can't eat. I'm going to go ahead
and say it right now, and I mean this. I
want you to understand this. We don't need to be
feeding people from our government in this country. If people
(11:00):
are going to starve if our government doesn't feed them
in the richest country in the history of mankind, that
is on them, not you. It is not your obligation. However,
if you feel the need to feed people who do
not feed themselves, contribute to a church or a food
(11:23):
bank or some other charitable cause and hold them responsible.
We've got people living very large off of hustling, defrauding,
scamming the government, which is your money, and the Democrats
are stoking this. You're a victim, You're sad, you're pitiful.
(11:47):
Republicans are taking all you've got. It's the children. It's
always for the children. Most Democrats don't even have children.
Aoc will never have children, Ilhan Omar will never have children,
and Crockett will never have children. Nancy Pelosi, it's a
wonder she had a child. These people are not mothers.
(12:08):
They're not maternal, they're not loving. Don't act like anything
is for the children. They want children exposed to men's
wieners barely covered by their bikini as they come in
and read to them at drag time story hour in kindergarten.
They don't give a damn about children. It's all about power,
but not too long ago, the Democrat Party was not
(12:31):
this way. In fact, it was quite different. Grabyan put
together this montage, which I think is quite telling.
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Nearly thirty years ago, Robert Kennedy said, work is the
meaning of what this country is all about. We need
it as individuals, we need to sense it in our
fellow citizens, and we need it as a society and
as a people. He was right then, and it's right now.
(12:59):
From now on, our nation's answer to this great social
challenge will no longer be an ever ending.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Cycle of welfare. It will be the dignity, the power,
and the ethic of work.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Today we are taking an historic chance to make welfare
what it was meant to be, a second chance, not
a way of life. This bill will help people to
go to work, so they can stop drawing a welfare
check and start drawing a paycheck. It is now clearly
better to go to work than to stay on welfare,
clearly better because of actions taken by the Congress in
(13:32):
this session. It is clearly better to end the terrible,
almost physical isolation of huge numbers of poor people in
their children from the rest of mainstream America.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We have to do that today. We are ending welfare
as we know it.
Speaker 11 (13:47):
But I hope this day will be remembered not for
what it ended, but for what it began, A new
day that offers hope, honors responsibility, rewards work, and changes
the terms of the debate.
Speaker 12 (14:00):
For too many. Welfare has been a way of life
for too long. It has condemned too many on welfare
to a lifetime at the margins of our society. Today
we start to change all that.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
Anyone who wants to receive welfare must sign an individual
responsibility contract so that they're forced to agree upfront to
the conditions placed on receiving the benefit, and so that
they will have a plan from day one on how
to get themselves off of welfare. Put them to work
and make them want to go to work, and make
(14:37):
it reasonable for them to go to work. Be mandatory
work requirement for anyone receiving welfare.
Speaker 14 (14:42):
They actually have charged and run eds saying that President
Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare
reform bill I signed that moved millions of people from
welfare to work.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Wait, the requirement was for more work, la.
Speaker 14 (15:03):
I am telling you the claim that President Obama week
in welfare reforce work requirement is just not true.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You normally smell mister Biden the Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
And we recently came home from a trip to Palm Beach,
a listener trip, and we'd been away for four days.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We got back.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
The trainer who we use for George was he was
not able to get her over the first day we
were back, so it was not until Tuesday evening, so
we hadn't seen George in a week. And it's funny
because you don't realize how different your household is. If
(15:49):
you're a dog person, you don't realize how different your
household is when they're gone. And I always make fun
of catwomen, mostly because it's fun up that's them and
it's just a way to probe people.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
But if I'm honest, our house sounded empty.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
And we still have one kid at home right Michael
T's gone off to college rockets in his senior year,
but he has no use for us.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
He's busy, he's got.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Sports, and you know your senior year, there's something going
on every day. So my wife said, the house is
so quiet without George. She barks, she moves around, she's
loving on us. She's nudging us, she's begging for food.
I mean, she's she's just bringing life into the home.
It's crazy how much we love these darn things. And
(16:35):
I will tell you I have noticed that when people
get a dog for their elderly mother or father, what
a difference it makes, because dogs are so glorious. They
make us so happy. You've heard me over the years
talk about rough Greens. I got connected with rough Greens
r U f F roughgreens dot com. And by the way,
(16:58):
if you go there and you buy it, use the
code George because she loves getting credit for the fact
that she's the reason you went there. And I've told
you the virtues this. I got connected with rough Greens
several years ago when I met doctor Dennis Black, who
was a founder in Dallas, and we got to talk
in and he knew George Foreman, and George Foreman had
(17:18):
given me George, which is why I named her George
after him, and he knew her. He had a background
in boxing and he's a dog guy. We got talking
about gut health, and these are things that interest me
in humans already. We got talking about gut health and
coat and cancers and energy and all these different things,
and he said, well, I'm going to send you a packet.
(17:40):
You just try it. And I said, well, doctor Black,
I'm to be honest with you. My wife is very
fastidious about George's food. Because George is very fastidious, and
I can't really be honest with you. I can't change
out her food because we finally got something that works
for her.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And he said, you don't have to use scoop it
over the top. She doesn't like it, don't use it.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Well we did, and reluctantly, because we had a great
little system for her because she's a finicky thing.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And it changed everything. I said.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Three weeks in, I said, well, I noticed she has
more energy and I noticed she's not shedding and that
was a problem because I have allergies. And he said,
it's a ninety day deal. It'll take thirty days to
see what you've done. You're seeing it a little early.
And then he told me at sixteen and he told
me at ninety and like clockwork, that work. So anyway,
he had written a new book. I asked him about
(18:29):
the book, and I asked him if we could get
him on the show to talk about it. And it's
been hard to coordinate our schedules because he's working all
the time. I've been doing a lot of travel, but
without further ado, Doctor Dennis Black of Roughgreens dot com,
My Dog, My Dog Food and Gut health expert, Doctor Black,
(18:50):
Welcome to.
Speaker 15 (18:50):
The program, Michael Berry. Thank you for having me. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So I don't know how you managed to do it.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
You know, Rush Limbaugh used to say after his two books,
he said, I'll never write another one because I don't
have an iron butt. You manage every time I see you,
it's in a different city. You manage various enterprises. You're
constantly doing research and coming up with innovative, cutting edge,
crazy stuff that ends up working. You've got a family,
(19:19):
you built a home. I don't know how you found
time to write a new book, but you did, and
tell us about it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Well.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
Essentially, what the nexus for the book was was all
these customers that keep asking me these questions and they
email them in and I thought, maybe, you know, instead
of just answering these one at a time, to just
kind of compile them all into one thing and let
that be the.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Outline for the book.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
And so half of the book is for dogs, and
the other half is for cats.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
So if you're a dog person.
Speaker 15 (19:53):
And you don't have cats or don't like cats, don't
read the second half of the book. It's not for
you for cat people. But if you're a cat person
and you don't really like dogs, we'll read the second.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
Half of the book, not the first half. But the
reality is.
Speaker 15 (20:10):
That we just took all the questions that people had
and we just formulated it into a table of contents,
and it turns out that literally within twenty four hours,
it became an Amazon number one bestseller. Because the name
of the book is a natural Path to Pet health,
(20:31):
how to save thousands on vet bills and dog food
or pet food, and so one of the things that
we included in the book was over thirty five recipes
on how to make food for your pet.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
And it's not expensive.
Speaker 15 (20:47):
As a matter of fact, a lot of the stuff
that you needs to go in there, you probably already
have in your home, so we just teach you how
to make it. There's several pet foods on the market
are so expensive for a dog the size of yours
and mine I have four big dogs, it would be
(21:08):
over eight hundred dollars a month. For one dog just
for their food, and then it's still cooked and it's
it's not really a complete dog food.
Speaker 10 (21:17):
So that's what we decided.
Speaker 15 (21:19):
We're just going to show people how to make their
own dog food at home. You don't need something made
by a farmer. You can just do it yourself. And
people love it. It's we've had nothing but great reviews
because of it. But I will tell you, I'll warn
people ahead of time. When you get it, it's going
(21:40):
to list tons and tons of products that we have
at Rough Greens, all created by us at Rough Greens,
by the way, we have rough Greens for dogs, we
have Miogreens for cats. We have Rough Natural shampoos and
skin conditioners. We have Rough h twoo hydration products. So
(22:01):
we're going to recommend those things throughout the entire book.
And the reason is because they're the best products on
the market for dogs and cats. That's why we do it.
That's why we made them to begin with.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
You know, it's interesting for me. My wife is I
don't want to say a health nut because she doesn't
try to impose it on anyone else or make it
weird for anyone else. She has just experimented on her
body in her fifty seven years to figure out what
makes her feel good and what makes.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Her doesn't what doesn't. And she hasn't high.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
She has a high A one C even though she's very,
very healthy and works out and keeps her weight down
and all that. And that was genetics and she couldn't
help that. But just like my dad, she has aggressively
treated it and never needed insulin as a result of it.
She studies her blood sugar and all that. And so
we talk a lot. It's become kind of a hobby
(22:56):
for both of us about what we put into our bodies,
how much we sleep, how much water we drink, the
exercise we get, and we talk a lot about food
that goes into our body. And you and I have
had this conversation. I think Robert F. Kennedy Junior has
exposed and it truly makes me sad that with all
(23:17):
the advancements we made in this country, most Americans are
less healthy today than we were sixty years ago. And
the reason was we got away from and it's in
the title of the book, A Natural Path to Human Health,
and this is a natural path to pet health.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And as bad as it was for what.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
We did to the food for humans, it was even
worse to pets. We'll talk to doctor Dennis Black coming
up the book as a natural path to pet health.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Michael Verry, known as Thear, also known as El.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Doctor Dennis Black as our guest. He happens to be
a show sponsor. He's become a friend. I knew him
before he was a show sponsor.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
He sent me.
Speaker 8 (24:08):
I think he sends everybody some supplements for our dog
to try. It's a supplement you put over the food.
And he didn't sell it, he didn't push it, he
didn't tell me and just give it a try to
know what you think. And my wife was one who
immediately noticed, because she brushes George three four times a day,
that she wasn't shedding like she was, and she noticed
that she had more energy. And we started noticing these improvements.
(24:32):
And I sent an email and I said, all right,
all right, I'm sold.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Let's talk.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
And I had him on the show I think before
he ever became a show sponsor. And we've kind of
developed a relationship through my dog talking with me about
questions I have for my dog. So we were talking
about the book is called it's a new book a
natural path to pet heill. Doctor Dennis Black, how frustrating
and kind of sad it makes me.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I love what Robert F.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Kennedy Junior is doing exposing the red dye and all
these terrible things that are going into our food. As
it turns out, and you can speak further to this,
doctor Blacks, as much as the human food cycle has
been corrupted, it's even worse for dogs.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And how sad is that?
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Yeah, it's not only is it worse, it's atrocious. The
reality is that people feed.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Their dog, you know, they go.
Speaker 15 (25:22):
It's overwhelming when you go to a big box store
to pick up food for your dog and you walk
down aisle after aisle, a bag after bag, and you know,
you see a picture of a dog jumping over a
log with a wolf and it says complete and balanced
nutrition and all these things. The marketing is just phenomenal
(25:43):
on these products.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
It's all a lie.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Every bit of it is a lie.
Speaker 15 (25:47):
I actually toured a dog manufacturing facility several years ago.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
I took my German shepherd with.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Me when I went, and we toured the facility and
there was kibble coming right out of the oven and
it was still warm. And I took a handful of it,
and I offered it to my dog, Buster, and Buster
just took one look at it, and then he turned
his nose up just look the other direction. I asked
my tour guide, I said, why won't my dog eat
(26:17):
this product? And he said, well, we're not done with
it yet. I said, oh, well, what do you have
to do? He said, we have to spray on palatability enhancers,
fats and oils and flavoring to get the dogs to
eat it. If we didn't do that, the dogs would
never eat eat kibble. And I thought, wow, dogs are
actually smarter than we thought. There is almost no regulation,
(26:38):
very little regulation on pet food. They make it look
like there's regulation, but it's not much. So artificial colors dies.
And I'm not here to badmouth to anyone, you know me, Michael, I'm.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Not here to badmouth anyone.
Speaker 15 (26:51):
But I can tell you if you just look at
these prepackaged dog foods that are anti kibble, but look
at them close, you'll find that most of them have
artificial colors, dyes, and synthetic vitamins. By the way, synthetic
vitamin is code word for your body can't use it.
And your dog's body can't use it either, so they
(27:13):
at best they will just sluff it off. The dog
food that's manufacturing, I mean, is a billion dollar industry,
and there's really no good dog food out there, which
so we decided at rough Greens. We decided, well, we
can do one or two things. We can create a
dog food and compete in the dog food space, or
(27:36):
we can make a supplement that you just add to any.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
Dog food and it makes it better.
Speaker 15 (27:41):
I said, let's go with the second option, because all
you got to do is add a spoonful of rough
Greens when the dog eats kibble NonStop. And remember there's
no live nutrition in kibble. When the dog eats kibble
non stop, what they end up with our nutritional deficiencies.
They show up as meta issues, skin issues, bad breath,
(28:03):
digestive issues, joint pain, all kinds of things like that.
And people think, oh, you know, I've got to take
my dog to the vet and get some apiquill because
my dog's allergies are really bad or whatever. No, all
you have to do is fix what you're feeding the
dog and those symptoms will all go away. The most
dog illnesses are not medical issues. At all their nutritional
(28:26):
deficiencies and when you add something as simple as rough
greens to their diet, and like I said, you want
to do it for a minimum of ninety days and
then you'll see that tons of benefits. You won't completely
heal them completely. Healing takes about one hundred and eighty days,
takes about six months to completely rebuild the gut and
(28:47):
the immune system. But once you get them healthy, then
you can just put them on a maintenance dose of
that stuff for the rest of their life. You're going
to add twenty five to thirty percent of the light
to the life span of your pet, given based on
other dogs of the same breed.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
The book is A Natural Path to Pet Health by
doctor Dennis Black.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I'm just curious. I don't know if I've ever asked
you what.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
Percentage of your subscribers of folks who do what I
do and use the supplements and all that are cats
versus dog owners.
Speaker 15 (29:21):
So there's about eighty five million dog owners in America
and there's about sixty million cat owners, so it's a
roughly sixty to forty percent ratio. But the cat owners
almost own, almost universally have more than one cat right.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
If they have one cat, they usually.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Have three as a minimum.
Speaker 15 (29:45):
Dog owners twenty five percent of the time they have
two dogs or more, and a lot of people, believe
it or not, twenty five percent of pet owners have
both a dog and a cat. So that's why we
have several bundling options on rough greens.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Last last night, my wife and I were watching a
movie and George came and laid down beside us, and
she did this thing which always makes us last. She went,
she don't like to wait to the world is on her.
And it reminded me of a cocker Spaniel we had
years ago. And I grew up with cocker spaniels. And
my wife said, because she didn't grow up here, you
grew up India. And I've told her that when I
was growing up, cocker spaniels very popular.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Did cocker Spaniels just go away?
Speaker 11 (30:26):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Do? You see people who have cocker Spaniels.
Speaker 10 (30:30):
It's not.
Speaker 15 (30:31):
It's not a popular breed as much anymore. And the
reason is because they're they're very energetic, and sometimes they
can be overstressed by children, and so they're not a
great family.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
Dog per se.
Speaker 15 (30:47):
There's there's other dogs that are that are that are
much better as a family dog, and so a lot
of people don't get them because they're afraid that they
might get highly stressed around their kids and nip at
them or something of that. I don't mean to give
them a bad name, but that's the reason why they
got away from them as a breed.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Them. What are you seeing replacing them? What breeds for
people who well.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
There's several It depends on the size of the dog
and what your your lifestyle is. If you can brush
your dog on a regular basis, then shedding doesn't really
matter much, especially if you feed them rough greens, they'll
shed a lot less. Like you said, so, Golden Retrievers
are always a good dog. Labbadors are always a very
popular dog. Golden Doodles, believe it or not, a mix
(31:35):
between golden Retrievers and poodle is a great dog because
they're hypoallergenic, they don't shed as much.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
They're not terribly smart. They should be, but a.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
Lot of them are not terribly smart, but they're just
tons of fun for kids and family members. They're a
great companion for your family. One of my favorite dogs
for people with children though, is Airdales. Airdales are a
phenomenal beautiful dog. They're in the terrier family. Yeah, and
they're just great, beautiful dogs.
Speaker 10 (32:08):
And they're great for people with children.
Speaker 15 (32:10):
As a matter of fact, back in the previous century,
early nineteen hundreds of people used to get Airdales as
family pets, and they would put the baby on a
blanket out in the yard in the front yard, and
put the Airdale out there with them to babysits. And
the Airdale would keep the baby on the blanket, oh,
not let anybody come anywhere near the baby. And it
(32:30):
was just a natural instinct that Airdales had. And I
remember reading about that many times growing up in the fifties,
reading stories about Airdales and how protective they.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Were for children.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I did not know, Yeah, I did not know that.
Speaker 10 (32:44):
Yeah, it's a great, great dog.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
The big is a natural path to pet health.
