The guys sit down with Jake Hutchinson and talk about avalanche dogs. Jake details how he accidentally became a handler and covers his lengthy snow safety career covering several continents. They talk about dog selection for this highly specialized field and common themes between that and patrol dog selection. They also cover the myths around avalanche dogs and their training. Jake also runs down what its like to run a pointy ear dog in a traditionally floppy eared venue. Eric also reveals his desire to be cold and buried in avalanche and names our episode..... NOPE!

To follow what Jake does visit him on IG @avalanchedogs or www.avalanchedogs.com
