Thoughts of A Dog Man

The Proof Is In The Pedigree Featuring Mr. Robert Paris

In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man Podcast, I talk with Mr. Robert Paris for a conversation about dogs, pedigrees, mentorship, and what it really takes to improve quickly as a newer dog handler. Even though Mr. Robert has only been involved with dogs for a short amount of time, he has already developed a deep interest in bloodlines, pedigrees, and understanding why dogs are the way they are through their ancestry. We talk about: * how he got started with dogs * the importance of mentorship * studying pedigrees and bloodlines * understanding inherited traits * learning intentionally as a beginner * and why growth comes from effort and curiosity This episode is a reminder that time alone does not create knowledge — focused learning and being willing to study the craft matters too. 🎙 Thoughts of a Dog Man Podcast Presented by Bawlin Out Kennels 📘 Rabbit Dog Starter Bundle: Bawlin Out Kennels Store [https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios?utm_source=chatgpt.com] 🐾 Dog Man Insider Community: Dog Man Insider Facebook Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293?utm_source=chatgpt.com] 💳 Join Dog Man Insider: Dog Man Insider Stripe Link [https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02?utm_source=chatgpt.com] #beagles #huntingdogs #dogpodcast #pedigrees #dogbreeding #rabbitdogs #hounddogs #workingdogs #dogtraining #bawlinoutkennels

How To 10x Your Kennel

Most people think growing a better kennel means adding more dogs, more crosses, more pups, and more chaos. I don’t believe that. In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, we break down the idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s book 10X Is Easier Than 2X and apply it directly to hunting dogs, kennel management, breeding programs, and producing better results. Sometimes the biggest jump forward comes from cutting the bottom 80% and doubling down on what actually works. We talk about: * Why adding more dogs usually creates worse results * The difference between 2X thinking and 10X thinking * Why elite kennels are often smaller and more intentional * Dogs that earn feed vs dogs taking up space * Resetting a kennel before it crashes * Breeding with purpose instead of emotion * Focus, standards, and building a real program This episode isn’t about tearing people down. It’s about challenging dog men to think differently if they truly want exceptional results. 🎙 Thoughts of a Dog Man Podcast Presented by Bawlin’ Out Kennels 🐾 Join the Dog Man Insider Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293] 📘 Rabbit Dog Starter Bundle: https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios [https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios]

The Future of the Leopard Breed Starts Now! (3 of 3)

In Episode 1, I talked about how I ended up owning the A.L.C.B.A. In Episode 2, I broke down the history, the split within the breed, and why it still matters today. Now we talk about the future. This episode is about where the Leopard breed stands right now, what I believe is hurting it, and what can still be done to help preserve what makes these dogs special. I talk about the importance of people working together, putting pride aside, learning from experienced Leopard people who are still here, and keeping Leopards true to what they were meant to be. Because at the end of the day… Leopards should be Leopards. And if people truly care about the breed, there is still time to make a difference. This isn’t about attacking anyone or living in the past. It’s about asking an important question: What are we going to do moving forward? 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS 📘 Rabbit Dog Starter Bundle (Book + 3 Bonus Audios): https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios [https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios] 🐕 Dog Man Insider Community (Facebook Group): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293] 💳 Join Dog Man Insider: https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02 [https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02] 🎯 SUPPORT THE PODCAST If you enjoy the podcast, make sure to follow, leave a rating, and share the episode with someone who cares about hunting dogs and preserving good breeds.

What Happened to the Leopard Breed? ALCBA Explained (2 of 3)

A lot of people know the letters A.L.C.B.A. — but not many know what it actually is, why it matters, or how much history is tied to it. In this episode, I break down the American Leopard Cur Breeders Association, what a breed-specific registry can really do, and why Leopards have always been a unique breed with their own lane. I also talk about the major shift that happened in 2008, how the breed ended up divided in different directions, and why many people still feel the effects of that today. Most importantly, I talk about why there is still time to make a difference. As long as knowledgeable people are still here, good dogs are still here, and people still care — there is still an opportunity to help get the Leopard breed back on a stronger path. This is Part 2 of a 3-part series. In the next episode, I’ll talk about where I believe things can go from here, what can be built, and what it will take moving forward. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS 📘 Rabbit Dog Starter Bundle (Book + 3 Bonus Audios): https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios [https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios] 🐕 Dog Man Insider Community (Facebook Group): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293] 💳 Join Dog Man Insider: https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02 [https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02] 🎯 FINAL NOTE If this episode gave you something to think about, share it with someone who cares about dogs, breeding, and preserving something worth keeping alive.

How I Ended Up Owning the ALCBA: American Leopard Cur Breeders Association (1 of 3)

This wasn’t something I planned… In this episode, I talk about how I ended up taking over the A.L.C.B.A. (American Leopard Cur Breeders Association), how it all came together, and what this opportunity really means to me. What started as conversations, building relationships, and mutual respect turned into something much bigger than I expected. This isn’t just about owning a registry or paperwork—this is about responsibility, preserving something meaningful, and doing right by the dogs and the people involved. I share the story behind how it happened, the moment it became real, and why I don’t take this lightly. This is bigger than me, and it’s something I want to build the right way. This episode is just the beginning. In the next ones, I’ll break down what the A.L.C.B.A. actually is and where I see it going moving forward. If you’ve been following along, I appreciate you. If you’re new here, welcome—this is where things start to grow into something bigger. 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS 📘 Rabbit Dog Starter Bundle (Book + 3 Bonus Audios): https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios [https://bawlinoutkennels.com/products/rabbit-dog-starter-bundle-book-3-bonus-audios] 🐕 Dog Man Insider Community (Facebook Group): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293 [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1562828264897293] 💳 Join Dog Man Insider (Stripe): https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02 [https://buy.stripe.com/7sYcMYdym52b4Sq8Aj7bW02] 🎯 CLOSING (ON BRAND) If this episode connects with you, share it with someone who’s serious about dogs and doing things the right way.
