They are knowledgeable and they do a wonderful job of explaining the history of hunting dogs.

Hunting Dog Confidential is one of my favorite podcasts. They dig deep into history, current trends, and the hunting dog world to share fascinating stories about the hunting dogs that we love so much. The primary focus is upland and versatile hunting dogs. I consider myself a pretty knowledge hunting dog owner, but I learn something new with every episode. I'm so glad they brought back new seasons and I look forward to new episodes whenever they come out.
