Are Sunday night point rankings and ribbon chasing taking over your peace of mind? In this episode of Pure Dog Talk, host Laura Reeves sits down with 40-year hound veteran, AKC judge and K9 handler Bob Urban for a candid reality check on modern dog show culture. Bob breaks down why hyper-focusing on show results ruins the joy of the sport, how outside hobbies restore perspective, and why keeping the focus on the dogs changes everything.
