In this episode Steve visits with Tom Hopkins of Marshall, Texas.Tom owned, trained and handled what was perhaps the most famous Treeing Walker Coonhound in the history of coon hunting, the immortal House’s Lipper.

Lipper distinguished himself in competition and in the breeding pen by winning major championships and by producing more that 5000 pups, not including those that were born through frozen semen breeding.   Lipper’s record in that regard is most likely never to be broken.

Lipper was making news before he was a year old and won the prestigious PCA National Championship, the prize package of which included a pickup truck, dog box and other related awards at less than two years of age.  He is the youngest Dual Grand Champion (Nite Hunt and Bench Show) on record.

Steve, in this episode, persuades Tom to share the Lipper story from the first coon he treed at about seven months old to discussions about several notable Lipper offspring including House’s Lawyer, Adios Lightning, House’s Clint and House’s Cash.  If you are coonhound history buff this is the episode for you.   “Dog talk at its finest, Walker-style.”

Within the world of purebred coonhounds there exists seven recognized breeds, each with a national association that affiliates with the major coonhound registry, United Kennel Club.  These associations exist not only to steer the future of the individual breeds within the registry, but also as a fraternity, or sorority as the case may be, of individuals devoted to the breed.  None is more tightknit than the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association, 

Our guest in this episode, Matt Wachter of Gardendale, Ala., is a young man that chose the Black and Tan Breed early on in his coon hunting career and has benefited greatly from the mentors he has gained through his choice of breeds.   One such mentor and personal friend is the late Doug Moore of Mt. Olive, Alabama.Moore recently passed at the age of 82.The dog talk at its finest in this episode is full of stories of hunting with Moore and other stalwarts of the Black and Tan breed of Wachter’s experience. 

Although fanciers of Black and Tans will no doubt appreciate this episode most, the stories, accounts and benefits of a coon hunter’s life within the confines of a given breed should serve to influence others to choose a similar path.

Traveling to hunt in different parts of the country will expose your hounds to different terrain, different styles and different challenges. While in Wisconsin hunting with Ross Ellwagner, Heath saw all those in this trip. On the way to a Rodeo Heath and Ross had a conversation about training and how the timing of corrections can classic condition more issues that sometimes we don’t think about. In this episode they talk about how that happens and how sometimes you are better off saving that correction for another day.

In this episode we journey to the village of Pope, in the southern tip of Panola County, Mississippi to visit with black coon hunter Rubert Morgan.  At age 74, Morgan has worn many hats; farmer, auto worker, collegiate bull rider, community official and coonhound breed association director to name a few. 

Mr. Morgan provides an entertaining look at the life of a black kid growing up under segregation but also enjoying his lifelong dream of being in the outdoors hunting with hounds. 

Steve and Rubert met at the UKC Winter Classic in Batesville, Mississippi several years ago.  Mutual friend, Kimberly Clark of Virginia, also black and also a coon hunter, urged Steve to bring Morgan onto the podcast and the result is an hour and several minutes more of dog talk at its finest. 

A confessed Bluetick aficionado today, Rubert has enjoyed all breeds through the years beginning with a spotted pup that, as a kid, he crawled under the family home to claim.   The story of Spot and others good hounds through the years, pack the episode and there’s even some looks at life as a black man growing up in a world where in many cases, he was the “only one that looked like me” in the crowd.   You’ll enjoy this one, guaranteed.

This episode continues on from the last on the dogs that never got the credit they deserved. Sam made catching bears look easy, his determination, speed, fearlessness, and stick ultimately cost him his life. For 6 years i got to follow him on countless adventures and will be forever grateful.

Eight months have lapsed since we last visited with Randy Smith of the highly regarded and immensely successful Lone Pine Treeing Walker Kennel in Pennsylvania.

Steve and Randy share a wealth of information vital to anyone aspiring to make the bigtime in the coonhound world, whether as a breeder, trainer or competitor.  Additionally much important information is provided in the realm of raising healthy litters. 

When Randy Smith talks, veterans and novice hunters alike come to attention.  We have more than an hour of great information and of course, ample portions of “Dog Talk At Its Finest” in this outstanding episode.  Lean in.

Every hound hunter has dogs that go unnoticed. Dogs that are in the shadows because of a more talked about dog. History even shows some of the legendary houndsman talked and wrote about certain dogs but used others to complete their pack. Here's to the dogs that never got the credit they deserved.
