In this episode
Chris Sundström returns for a conversation focused on importing and exporting hunting dogs between Europe and North America.
Drawing from years of experience on both sides of the Atlantic, Chris shares the realities of moving hunting dogs across borders, navigating regulations, and helping dogs adapt to new environments, game species, and hunting styles.
We discuss common mistakes, paperwork challenges, close calls during transport, and what hunters should know before considering an international dog purchase.
The conversation also explores Chris' experiences bringing Swedish-bred Plott Hounds to the United States, participating in American Plott events, and the growing connection between Scandinavian and North American dog hunters.
