Our dogs were part of the family. They put food on the table and ultimately put me through college. ❤

As a European this is really interesting and educational stuff. Thanks for posting! :)

7:51 - word you're looking for landed gentry, and yeah anti-hunters in the US don't really understand the the hunt saboteurs in the UK is more about class war than about animal rights. Because a lot of time the hunt saboteur groups there will celebrate corporations taking over landed estates and ending the fox hunts rather than rewilding the land or returning the land to the commons. They're not pro-environementalism like in the US. It's kind of messed up in regards to incentives

4:45 - theres two different style in Russia. One is the one universal dog for city-hunters. Then theres the three specialized dogs kept by commercial hunters or subsistence hunters. Still one dog, one person while hunting. Just husbandry practice and breeding selection differ

4:33 - same with laikas. They figure out based on the context of what youre carrying if it's time to hunt fur-bearing game or meat game

15:42 - yes, S.V. Bogatov said a lot of pedigreed laikas are meant for weekend huntings and city hunters who live in apartment blocks: easily excitable, hot-headed, tire easily. Hunt all year around for 1-3 days at a time. Most of the dogs can't work under -25C. Indigenous or unregistered laikas kept by commercial hunters: calm dogs which work non-stop for two weeks or two months of the year effortless. Work in -30 or -40. (Vladimir Beregovoy translates as "aboriginal" but that's kind of a bad word to use.)

11:47 - yes, if you read the JTO for Finnish Spitz and Norbottenspets, the curators literally said even though there are sizeable populations in North America, they consider those gene pools not suitable for outcrossing and there are better options eg. importing from Russia, registering non-pedigreed village dogs etc. because at least those dogs are still hunted with whereas the FS and NS in Canada and US are in the hands of show fanciers

Thank you interviewing one of my old mutuals

9:17 - yes, there's an article from a dog-nan who tells people who gets frustrated with laikas' unwillingness to put up with modern complusion training to sell the laika and buy a German Spaniel or German Pointer instead

Ah, so you do know what laikas are. Find it funny you two talked about the JGV hunting trials in Germany, but not the RORS (Rosokhotrybolovsoyuz) in Russia. The RORS tests everything: marten, sable, moose, waterfowl retrieve, pheasant, lynx, wild boar, badgers, brown bears, squuirrels, caoercallie, grouse. There's a similar breeding system in Ukraine and Belarus. Laikas do tree, but you have to select for that trait. Treeing ability has declined with squuirrel pelt prices crashing and tthe trade embargoes against sable and marten furs imposed after Putin's occupation of Crimea. Nowadays hunting boars is more common. It's very difficult to find treeing lineages unless youu find a commercial hunter east of the Urals. My last dog came from bloodlines proven on bears and sables. Sable dogs are worth more than gold, and a West Siberian Laika unproven on bears are not considered true Mansi type. My current dog is from bloodlines proven on bears, waterfowl annd martens.

As a utah resident myself, all of this is true. -Hunting opportunity in the state decreases every few years. -Every year houses build higher and higher up the mountains at the valley edges. -I-15 is always a mess. And when someone draws a tag, the hunting pressure is high. -and hunting is trendy. Joe Rogan and others blew it up. This is good and bad. Certainly it’s changed hunting the way the animals behavior. -What wasn’t mentioned, the politicians keep wanting to privatize all the public land, which, in my opinion, is a terrible idea for everyone but the filthy rich.

❤❤❤ thank you so much for this great interview

Great interbiew, great man, a real houndsman 100%

Thank you so much for this video. Much love from a brindle akita inu owner

Good interview. Couldn't agree more with the thoughts and sentiments expressed here.

Nice to hear about interacting with your dogs more than just when you are hunting. I did that i am sure it makes a difference. Some of them spent a night or two in the house.

Man, you got me in tears man I'm sorry for your loss it's amazing how close you can get to animals their actually better than most people !!

Not hard to like dogs more than people. If you run game that trees, why would you waste your time on running hounds.

Be tasteful kids

Wonderful advise all that gave me different view on my doubts

Is it as good as Irish springs? Very interesting video btw

Wow understand lost Cody that way

Wow I have lost dogs just like that understand I miss Cody

Roshi Hal Herring, zen master........:) gassho........unity of purpose...........wonderful.........the wolf doing its job, the sage brush, the taker, the taken, the flesh, the rock, the storm, the dawn.......call me by my true names. Meditation is about self, exactly, and the question asked, eternally, in meditation, is 'what is self'? or Who am I? ....what am I.....When mule deer eye locks with human eye, where am I, who is who? Exactly, we exist beyond self. Hunters practice this. Are awake. We are the sage brush. Instantaneous compassion. Suffering with. Dualism collides in it's emptiness. Unity of purpose. A shared fate, a greater current. "The one who bows and the one who is bowed to, are both, by nature, 'empty' ".......the one who hunts and the one who is hunted. It's right, the world is in its orbit, and I'm in the place, right now. Thanks Hal and Kyle

My kinda dog is either a red border collie or any Australian Sheppard thats what I grew up with but where I live now I can't have no dog and it hurts.

I’m enjoying your videos Kyle, keep them coming!

In my opinion, convincing a bear that it’s best to climb is a psychological battle that is won or lost when dogs first encounter the bear. Either the bear is gonna be intimidated or the dogs are. If you got real deal loud pressure bear dogs that show up at the meet and greet at the same time, it don’t take that many to win that battle the vast majority of the time. If you got some dogs that show up first that allow that bear to gain some confidence, you might be in for a long day.

do you sell any pups Mike?

After a winter of snow hunting, I’ve started using Mike’s training technique to start my dogs on dry ground. It’s not easy to get the dogs to slow down. One thing I have learned is to exercise my dogs before I put them on the scent trail so they’re not so apt to over run the trail. I have started putting the better performing dog out first followed by the next best performing and so on. I feel like the less performing dog will try harder, so they can catch up to their buddies. Once they’re all trailing good, I change up the order that I put them out to give them confidence.

Track dogs track drivers hard to find dog has to have drive and heart

Top dog hard to find keep looking

People that are against us using dogs for hunting have NO IDEA how close we are to these animals and just how far we will go to take care of them!! So touching to hear that story!!! They are truly apart of the family and it hurts bad when that day comes.

Sooooooo much knowledge to gain from people just like this couple!! No doubt they have lived out what they are telling us. Thanks for these videos !!

Could you put a link on here for me about his article he talked about so i can read it too please? Thanks alot

Life is not as easy when you love animals, never a tool, and as I got older, I did not want to pull the trigger on a big game animal, on a hunt, so I don’t ☺️ .Putting a animal down, is tough, at times a must. Thanks 🤠

Game and fish definitely needs more input from local Houndsmen in Zone I. In three or four years the female sub limit it’s been fill and closing the zone in January, this year is been the opposite because I think there not the many females this year, they been thin out by outfitters, they do exactly what Mike is saying, they come they kill anything that climbs up and usually females, they have two or three guys that they pay a few dollars to cut roads for them, they close the zone and move on the the next one, game and fish should do the something similar like they do for the rest of the big game hunt draw where outfitters only get a percentage of the lions harvest, and leaving the rest for the non outfitters that have to have regular jobs and hunt weekend, it’s not fair for locals or their hounds for hunting opportunity’s.

extraordinary Hal . . . this is Hal at it's best. This is timeless. Great Work Kyle, you got the best out of Hal. Arguably the best Hal Herring online.
