The Hunting Dog Podcast

I have followed Charlie Thorburn for quite some time. His You Tube Channel is Mordor Gundogs. His style is straightforward and he is not afraid to ruffle some feathers. But the proof as they say is in the pudding, or possibly in the United Kingdom.

Andy Blumberg introduces CHOWIE!  The next generation of hunters will thank him for years to come. Living and hunting out west, Andy made sure his Wirehaired Griffon was avoidance trained for snakes, skunks and porkies, but his dog Ada added one more critter to the list. A Big critter!!                      

Brent Pike came over to talk about what's new and whats needed to make the next trip just a bit more successful. Sometimes it's the place, sometimes it's the people and sometimes it's the gear. 

Kate Ahnstrom joins me to tell about her journey. Most people get the dog first and then figure it out. Kate reversed engineered the process. She is an incredible women who just can't say no......

Jared Wickland of PF&QF joins me to recap the season and celebrate the event we all look forward to.

I first met Ben at my place in Virginia. We shared a drink, a bunch of stories and stayed in touch over many years. Ben and a few friends have figured out that Virginia is a true mixed bag of opportunities for anyone wanting to chase upland birds. As long as you don't mind going up hill both ways. This episode brings me back to the reason love this lifestyle. 

My buddy Dave Utzinger came over to show me some late season videos of his young lab. We talk and brag a bit about "not doing much training" and relying on natural instincts and cooperation. Or maybe were just getting luckier when we get new dogs??? Who knows?  

Within 24 hours, two people I consider friends, passed away. Larry Lawton and Glen Blackwood were as different as night and day, yet cut out of the same cloth. Sadly I never recorded Larry's voice over the years. Glen on the other hand has been on a few episodes. I picked this one to re broadcast. 

Ohio Highway Patrolman Jake Lawrence joins me to discuss the similarities between police dogs and our dogs. As it turns out, there is not much difference when it come right down to it. 

On a Antarctic expedition in 1958 a team of sled dogs were left behind. It is a sad tale, but it says what dogs can really do to survive in spite of odds.

Laura Reeves is a fellow podcaster who can walk the walk and talk the talk on breeding dogs. If you ever thought of breeding your dog, or already have a few litters under your name, you will glean something for this episode. If you are looking for your first or next dog, this will educate you on what separates breeding programs from breeders.

It, seems every year that goes by, Gunner launches a new product that only your dog can appreciate. But thats OK your dog deserves the best! Addison Edmonds has a vision of quality for anything with his name on it. In some cases it takes years and years to refine. The new vest is finally out and it was worth the wait.

If it were not for these dedicated organizations, we would have fewer birds and fewer places to chase them. From the eastern forests to the western prairies, RGS PF and NAGP work together on our behalf. Listen, learn and join up!!!

Everyone one of us knows we need to start a dog with solid commands that the pup understands. It does not matter what breed or type of dog you own, love, and hunt with. They need a solid education and a solid plan to learn how to learn. Pat Burns has a lifetime of teaching dogs and their owners what this should look like.

Kenton Bryant spent years living in Nashville as a songwriter and singer. The music he makes now sounds a bit different, it's the music of the Bobwhite whistling in the fields at dawn and giving us a place to enjoy with our friends and our dogs.

Brandon Cerecke joins me to give us the low down on the newest shells from Boss. Copper shot that delivers everything you have expected from them in the past, and everything you will need in the future!

For over three decades, I have chased longtails in South Dakota. The places change, but the experience never fails to deliver. Friends, dogs and the sneakiest bird the was ever created, make for memories that never fade.

Jennifer Broome checks in with me on her long, long drive with her dogs and friends. Just good old tailgate tales!!
