Dog Ugly Dudes Talkin' Dogs' first ever guest, and what a guest it is. Alex Krstic is the owner and operator of Sambarman Kennels and currently sits on the committee for the Australasian Conservation Dog Network. We discuss how Alex got involved with dogs, how he uses his dogs for wildlife conservation and detection work and where he sees the future of dogs in conservation going, and also one of the breeds that is close to his heart.

In this episode of Dog Ugly Dudes Talkin' Dogs, we track back to cover off on explaining some terminology that people had found confusing in earlier episodes and we talk about an ancient dog breed that is renowned in the modern day for it's unique appearance.

In this episode, Big Kahuna and I point out just how important it is to ensure that your new puppy is socialised and introduced to new environments before the 16 week mark of his or her life, even if you're vet says to wait before they've had all their shots. Big Kahuna also recounts a childhood encounter with a mud dwelling snapping turtle and we discuss an old and very interesting breed with a hell of a back story that originated in the south of the United States.

The inaugural episode of Dog Ugly Dudes Talkin' Dogs. We introduce Big Kahuna and Josh and find out a little bit about their experiences with working with dogs and what the podcast hopes to cover off on on the journey ahead.
