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 wo...

Heath starts another litter of pups and walks you through the (ENS) Early Neurological Stimulation process and the pros and cons according to several peer reviewed articles. Dirt roads and tracking deficiencies. This one will make you think.

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 cli...

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

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...

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.

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.
