Ep. 322: This Country Life Bonus - Talking Dogs with Tony Peterson May 12, 2025

Show notes

Brent’s joined by his colleague Tony Peterson, host of MeatEater’s “Houndations” podcast, for an informative discussion on the overlap of hounds and upland dogs. They exchange tips on what to look for when picking out puppies and working with older dogs. They also share the criteria for judging a dog's ability to learn and how to gauge and assess progression. For two completely different types of hunting dogs and the environments they work in, the similarities are very interesting.
