Houndsman XP - Sportsmen's Empire

Allen Hallada

In this episode Chris and Steve join fellow houndsman Allen Hallada, DVM, to discuss a wide range of topics relative to maintaining top health and performance in working hounds.  Dr. Hallada, affectionately known as Doc Holiday on hound-related online message forums, presents common sense answers to frequently-asked questions about hot topics in the realm of canine nutrition and wellness.  Hallada fields the hosts’ questions about identification and treatment of tick-born diseases, internal and external parasites, hot-topic canine ailments such as hypothyroidism and hip dysplasia.  He delves authoritatively into the murky waters of best practices for feeding our hounds, identifying the good and the not-so-good in the broad field of commercial diets for working dogs. Hailing from the upper Midwest, Hallada began coon hunting with hounds as a young man and has continued to run hounds as he moved his practice, first to  Idaho and ultimately to California where he now resides.  Chris and Steve successfully coax down-to-earth answers to timely questions from one of the premier authorities on hound health and performance in the nation.  Hailed as a highly-interesting and well-informed individual, Hallada doesn’t disappoint.

Coonhound Competition with Jerry Moll

Randy Smith

Success, for houndsmen of all persuasions depends upon the performance of quality hounds that are bred to do the job.  Top-performing hounds are the products of those skilled in the art of breeding dogs.  Whether the proving ground is a cornfield-bordered Midwestern woodlot, a moss-draped southern swamp or a cliff-laced southwestern canyon, regardless the type of game the breeding behind the hound will largely determine the success of the hunt. In this episode, Chris and Steve interview Treeing Walker breeder Randy Smith whose Lone Pine Treeing Walker kennel in Pennsylvania has produced several winners in the fast-paced arena of competitive raccoon hunting, America’s largest organized sporting dog activity.  Smith and his partner Tom Strang won the 2016 World Championship for coonhounds sanctioned by the world’s largest coonhound registry, United Kennel Club and have made numerous appearances in the finals of the most prestigious events in the sport. Chris and Steve explore Smith’s background, his philosophy on breeding hounds and the keys to his success as a hound breeder and competitor.  Smith’s portfolio of non-hound related outdoor pursuits, including fur trapping nationwide and trophy pike fishing above the Arctic Circle, typifies the extreme performance mindset of our guest, embodied in each episode of the Houndsman XP podcast.
