In this week’s episode, our host Laura Reeves is joined by two very special guests: Brian and Jenna O'Connor, who talk about one of the least common breeds in the US, the Drent. The Drent is a hunting dog, that has been around for the past 350 years or so, and were brought up through the Spanish occupation. Something that makes the history of the Drent very unique is the fact they come from the Dutch province of Drenthe which is how the name Drent originated. Within Drenthe, the everyday man had the right to hunt and had the ability to afford only one hunting dog that could do everything. Their solution? The Drent.Drents can do anything and everything; there is very little that a Drent can’t do. They are great as an emotional support dog, or as a medical response dog because of the bond they form with their owners. They are smart, they are funny, they are naughty, and they are the kind of dog that would not thrive in a kennel environment: they need their people. To Laura, purebred dogs tell a story. They are living through history and they tell the story of that place and time. To her, it is the poetry of purebred dogs. Give this episode a listen to find out more about one of the rare breeds that Good Dog supports!
