Wayne Dixon is a traditional bowhunter and Vice President for the Virginia Chapter of the American Bear Foundation. Wayne raises hunting feists for chasing squirrels and Laika dogs to hunt bears in Appalachia. The laika is a primitive breed which originates from Siberia (Russia). Matthew just acquired an ornery laika pup, and asks for advice from Wayne as how to train her as a veracious bear dog.
