Hound Dog Podcast Network by The Sportsmen's Empire

Where did the Leopard Dog come from? That is a question we may never know the answer to.  Were Leopard Dogs and Plotts crossed? While opinions differ, today’s author proposes that is exactly what happened.  On the quest to make the best bear dogs in the land, there are lots of twist and turns.  But to sculpt a masterpiece a sculptor must use a combination of the finest materials and the highest quality of tools.  Building a bear dog is no different.  It takes the keen eye of the sculptor to seek out the greatest raw material and then work his magic. Did Henry Plott have the same vision in mind for the Plott dogs? Did Henry Plott see the Leopard dogs as a vital piece of the Plott hounds we know and love today? Listen up ladies and gentlemen, class is in session.

They’re here folks.  The hot, sultry, dog days of summer, considered by the ancient Greeks to be connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs and bad luck.   Hound hunters will agree with that Hellenistic view, adding mosquitos, poisonous snakes and humidity to the mix as they try to keep a hound in shape or to attend competitions at this time of year.

Steve and Corey touch on track dogs and tree climbers in this episode from the front porch on a dog day afternoon.  Steve has some pretty serious views on the subject of climbing trees when training hounds and offers a strong admonishment to those tempted to apply the method to their training regimen in a single word, don’t!

Today Jason and Josh have a great conversation on the importance independence in a dog.  Some on the other side of the spectrum feel there is a point when independence becomes a fault.  Same coin, two different sides.  The guys get a chance to catch up on the EHS standings, what’s coming up and just talk dogs for a bit. Make sure to check out CaneStream Media for more from Josh and the guys. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552624856662

To be successful, many companies and businesses require you to cross-train. Heath and Liberty Canine’s Owner, Randall Lykins have taken a page from that book and are applying it to their canine training. Randall a retired Army Ranger and kennel master now trains bird dogs and companion dogs. The two talk about using other training methods from other dog disciplines to their advantage. The cross-training begins now.

In this episode Steve is joined by bear hunter Wes Woodyard of Narrows, Virginia to roast, if somewhat mildly, their mutual friend, professional trainer and Double U Hunting Supply podcast personality Heath Hyatt. 

Wes and Steve have known and have made many hunts with Heath over several years.  It was on a Freedom Hunter’s Adventure with Heath that Steve and Wes became well-acquainted.  This week the two come together to discuss some “Hyatt-style Adventures” that adequately spill the beans on the professional trainer.  Woodyard credits Heath with bringing him into the hound sport and when he asked for the opportunity to give credit where credit is due on a podcast, Steve was glad to comply.  The episode illustrates the importance of mentoring new hunters into the sport. 

This is a feel-good episode that just goes to show that while bringing someone into the sport isn’t always easy, it can pay big dividends.   Woodyard, formed in the Hyatt mold, is an extreme hound hunter that never shirks the hard stuff when it comes to hunting and harvesting black bears.  Every hunting party needs one like Wes.  You’ll enjoy this one.

We all make mistakes in picking, handling, and training dogs. Sometimes experience goes a long way. Heath has seen dogs being washed because of shyness. He tells us more about the behavior and what to watch for. Hunting young dogs together is another topic discussed in this episode. How does selling a hound affect you? Letting go isn’t easy.

Corey Gruver is back and he and Steve have the porch rockers humming like the treadle wheel on Grandma’s sewing machine as they talk about a wide assortment of topics this week.

Hot weather is abundant and so are summertime tales in this episode.  Recent exploits of the boys Plott dogs as well as the announcement of the upcoming nuptials of Corey’s female Goldie to Bill Shininger’s stud dog are front and center.   The talk moves to the latest accomplishments of Steve and Mark Miller’s Plott Fever in field and water events and progresses to the realm of deep-thinking about how to decide when and to which stud to breed with an admonition to owners of females “not to wait too long.” 

With Autumn Oaks less than two months away, the boys share some of their favorite humorous stories from experiences at “The Event Where History Is Made.”

This one is jam-packed with good information concerning how to improve club membership, explores the dangers of a once-common practice of climbing trees and culminates with a very interesting conversation on the importance of track dogs in the sport.  The boys discuss the all-important question “which is more important, the track dog or the tree dog?”  If you don’t listen to anything else this week, check out this portion of the podcast.  It’s good stuff!

For hunters, our passion for the outdoors has led to more life-long relationships than many can count. Eighteen years ago a red Toyota pulled up and joined Heath and a good friend on a morning hunt. Today Heath and Ben talk about that day and the many following hunts. The start of a life-long friendship between Ben Gadway and Heath started that day. Join us as the stories begin.

The podcast moves this week down Texas way, to the northeast Ark-La-Tex region for a visit with longtime coon hunter and Bluetick enthusiast Dexters Whatley. Dex has been on the podcast a couple of times in our on-the-spot interviews at major coonhound events the likes of Autumn Oaks and the UKC Winter Classic. Co-host Corey Gruver and Steve have been addressing various aspects of treeing in reference to coonhounds in previous episodes. In this podcast, Whatley joins in a discussion based on exploring the many aspects of trail or track dogs in our sport. Whatley, in his competition days was well-known for following some mighty-good Bluetick hounds and Steve is not hesitant to explore with the man that fed them, the attributes of those dogs in regard to whether or not they could be identified as good track dogs. All the aspects of what it means to be recognized as a “track dog” are explored in this episode. Dex is very knowledgeable, can be extremely humorous and speaks with an accent and with the demeanor of one that is definitely Lone Star to the bone. Enjoy.
