In Hot Pursuit - Old Dogs

A Burden, Or Worth Their Weight In Gold?

"My relationship with my old dogs is more complicated and melancholic. I look into their eyes and I see the adventures we have shared, their potential fulfilled (or not), mistakes I have made (of which there are always many), and I feel sorrow that our adventures together are nearing their end. I also feel a deep gratitude for what they have given me."
The Author explores the true value of an old, yet experienced, hound.

Legendary Bear Hounds Pt 47

Legendary Bear Hound Foundations

"Bear dogs come in all shapes and colors, but it’s not the shape or the color of the dogs that carry them to legendary status in the minds of those that hunt with them. It’s what beats within the chest of the hound: the heart, the grit, and the degree of determination that separates the really good ones from the rest of the pack."

Bear Dog For Sale

Ever wonder what to look for in your first, or most recent, bear dog? The Author dives into many of the questions that you may have, in order to help you make an informed decision.
"Young hounds, even young hounds from an established line of solid bear dogs, will all develop differently. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling snake oil. A line will have similarities and traits that 90% from that line may share, but there is no way to predict the set of experiences and circumstances that will shape how and when your hound will become a “truck-to-tree” bear dog."
The Author dives into what to really expect when raising a young bear hound.
