In this episode Steve talks with successful competition handler Billy Bell of Tennessee. Steve met Billy in 1998 when he joined the PKC organization as its Senior Vice President. Billy and his brother Avery were actively competing in PKC events and doing their share of winning at a time when entry fees and subsequent payouts were much smaller than they are today.

Bell, has amassed nearly a half million dollars in handler earnings and continues to be a major force in today’s fast-paced competition game.

The boys discuss several top hounds that Bell has handled including Carolina Peach, The Wicked Speed Shifter, Late Round Rock, Spice Girl, Cash Flow and others. Bell’s excellent recall of the hunts and hounds from his long list of experiences makes interesting conversation for competition junkies and novices alike.

The episode finishes with Steve encouraging Billy to share his views on staying in top shape, physically and spiritually. It’s an episode that lives up to the show’s motto; dog talk at its finest!
