How Puppy Purchasing Shapes Lifelong Health -- with Rowena Packer, PhD
from The Functional Breeding Podcast Hosted by The Functional Dog Collaborative
In this episode, interim host Jess Sedivy Gunderson welcomes back Dr. Rowena Packer to discuss new research examining how puppies' earliest experiences—including age at sale, seeing the mother, and sourcing decisions—can impact health outcomes later in life. Together, they explore what the findings mean for breeders, puppy buyers, and the future of canine welfare.
