BARKS Podcast with Victoria Stilwell from Positively

Join Niki Tudge as she chats with Victoria Stilwell. It’s always a pleasure for me to host and chat with Victoria Stilwell. The conversation moved quickly through comparing Cadburys to Hershey’s chocolate. We covered the important topic of how we, the British, define biscuits versus the term more commonly used in the US, cookies. We did soon reach the important topics and had some thought-provoking discussions about dog breeding, puppy mills and much more. Thank you, Victoria, for all the great work you do, for being a great guest and for always being a fabulous sport!
