SEEKING INTERVIEWEES
i’m doing a longform piece for Offrange focused on herding dogs, and i’m looking to speak to a few people as individuals - i already have great contacts in the industry! this piece is centered around how overbreeding of ‘pet’ herding breeds & livestock guardian breeds has both overall hindered those breeds’ success and has left pet owners with unmanageable dogs that often do poorly in average households without enough to stimulate them. i’m looking to speak to anyone who:
bought a working dog and found it to be unable of doing the job (and you feel like the circumstances are relevant to poor breeding)
adopted a herding/LGD breed as a pet and regretted your decision or adapted to your lifestyle but found it a struggle
a vet, vet tech, kennel professional or other who has to work with many of these dogs
if you don’t see yourself here but you think you have something to say, feel free to reach out!
please DM me here by 12/9/25 if you are comfortable conducting a PHONE INTERVIEW (or email interview if that is not possible - just let me know). this should not be a super demanding interview, just a few quick questions. thank you!
