Originally released as a two-part conversation, weβre bringing both parts together as one full episode.
This week, Erik Rhodin sits down with Derek Hall for the complete conversation exploring hunting with dogs β from the deserts of Arizona to the forests of Scandinavia.
Erik and Derek dive into what makes a good hunting dog, how breeds and hunting styles adapt to different environments, and the cultural differences between hunting with dogs in the United States and Scandinavia.
The conversation also moves into some of the bigger challenges facing dog hunters today β regulations, public perception, education, and why hunters need to support and understand hunting traditions beyond their own state, country, or preferred breed.
In this episode:
π Hunting dogs, breeds, and what makes a good working dog
π American vs. Scandinavian hunting traditions
π― Training philosophies and adapting dogs to different game and terrain
π΅ Hunting with dogs in Arizona

And if you enjoy this episode, stay tuned β Derek might have some fun and exciting things coming here shortly.
