Young dogs and their handlers, who's the worst?
<p>Tonight on <strong>Free Castin’</strong>, we dive deep into one of the most debated topics in the hound world — <strong>young dogs</strong>. From starting pups too early, genetics vs training, trash breaking, grit, brains, pressure, and the mistakes that ruin more dogs than people realize, this episode is packed with honest opinions and real experience from houndsmen who’ve lived it.</p><p>We talk about what separates average dogs from great ones, whether elite hounds are born or made, and how patience — or the lack of it — can completely shape a young dog’s future. The crew shares stories about pups that exceeded every expectation, dogs that never made it, and the lessons learned from both.</p><p>If you’ve ever started a pup, ruined one, trained one, or dreamed about raising that once-in-a-lifetime hound, this episode is for you. Expect strong opinions, real stories, plenty of laughs, and a conversation every dog man can relate to.</p><p>#FreeCastin #Houndsmen #YoungDogs #BearDogs #LionDogs #DogTraining #HoundHunting #WorkingDogs #HuntingPodcast #AnecdoteOfAHoundsman</p><p></p><p>Arizona Working Dog Alliance</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://azwda.com">https://azwda.com</a></p><p>Where we talk a lot of politics that effects the American Sportsman</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@awda24">https://www.youtube.com/@awda24</a></p><p></p><p>Mountain Daily Star</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://mountaindailystar.com">mountaindailystar.com</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://mountaindailystar.com/free-roaming-arizona-horses-series-episode-1-heber-horses/">https://mountaindailystar.com/free-roaming-arizona-horses-series-episode-1-heber-horses/</a></p><p></p><p>Cold Strike Gear</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://coldstrikegear.com">https://coldstrikegear.com</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@ColdStrikeGear">https://www.youtube.com/@ColdStrikeGear</a></p><p></p><p>Arizona Hound Hunters Rendezvous</p><p>http://azhhr,com</p><p></p><p>"Born 100 Years Too Late"</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@BrettVaughnB100">https://www.youtube.com/@BrettVaughnB100</a></p><p></p><p>"Interviews, Stories and Tales"</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@InterviewsStoriesandTales">https://www.youtube.com/@InterviewsStoriesandTales</a></p><p></p><p>"Louisiana Hunting"</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@louisianahunting">https://www.youtube.com/@louisianahunting</a></p><p></p><p>CMW Investigations, LLC</p><p>http://cmwpi.com</p><p></p><p>"Anecdote of a Houndsman" live podcast "Free Castin"</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@AnecdoteofaHoundsman">https://www.youtube.com/@AnecdoteofaHoundsman</a></p><p>Watch these podcast live every Thursday night at 6PM MST!</p>
