The state’s best poultry were sold with record-breaking prices to generous donors at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ Junior Market Poultry Auction.
All this week we are celebrating Tex. It’s his last week on Houston Life before he retires. Tex is moving to Indiana with his family. We’ve always claimed him as our own, but his off-screen home is with KPRC 2′s General Manager Jerry Martin, who is retiring.

Since Tex is one of the smartest dogs we know, we wanted to test his knowledge by trying to teach him two new tricks. Stephanie Bennett, owner of Believe in Dog Training, (and Texs favorite person btw!) Another suggestion: break down trick training exercises into small steps. Dogs learn more quickly and with less confusion when exercises are broken down into small steps. Always end the training session with success and while your dog still wants more, and practice, repetition, and patience are key.

HOUSTON – Discovering a dog’s ancestry or breed mix is now easier than ever thanks to the increasingly popular dog DNA tests kits. With the help of the popular dog DNA test, Wisdom Panel, we set out to confirm these results. Dr. Hennessey took Tex’s saliva sample, mailed the test back to the lab, and revealed the following results about Tex’s genetic background. The DNA results also shed light on what to expect for Tex’s weight, size and even his personality traits. If you’re thinking about getting a DNA test for your dog, Dr. Hennessey shared the 101 on these popular kits on the link below.
