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.

Adam O Donnell and Chris talk about squirrel dogs. From the original purposes and traditional uses on the early frontier to modern day high performance tree dogs, the mountain cur is truly an American original.

Adam is a director for the Original Mountain Cur Breeders Association (OMCBA) and an accomplished competition hunter with beginnings in the hound world and then transitioning to squirrel dogs. Adam and Chris discuss the history of the mountain cur and how it has evolved from a utilitarian type dog in the colonial and early American era dog to a high performance tree dog in modern times. They discuss the rocky and questionable past of the largest cur dog registry, the OMCBA and get into training tips and strategies for cur dog owners.
