Durrel Smith is a bird dog trainer, writer, CEO of the Minority Outdoor Alliance and host of the Sporting Life Notebook Podcast.

Chris and Durrell draw the parallels of dog training between hounds and bird dogs. Durerell gives us a history lesson that brings perspective to the involvement of the African American Community in the performance dog legacy. Finally they discuss the current climate in hunting and barriers that need to be overcome if we intend to be a sustainable solution for the future of wildlife management.
