With 34 World Champion titles won by dogs owned by Jukebox Kennels in a little over 30 years I'd certainly say they are doing something right. Chuck Gaietto, Ron Smith, and Blake Perkins took some time at Autumn Oaks to talk these dogs and their accomplishments. Chuck started squirrel hunting in the late 80's and bought Jukebox a few years later. Jukebox started the World Champion streak by winning 10 himself. In the following years and subsequent generations they just kept winning. If you're in...

It took a little while to get this one lined up but I caught up with Eddie O'Dell. Eddie got into squirrel hunting to stay active after an injury left him unable to coon hunt. He had a rough start but finally stumbled upon a dog named Cool Whip, and the rest is history. Cool Whip has quite the resume that Eddie tells us about. While he has certainly proven himself in the woods he has also proven himself in the stud pen as well.

I'm not sure how I stumbled upon Luke on Instagram but I'm certainly glad I did. Today's guest Luke Houser is a coyote hunter but I didn't have him on because he uses a combination of scent and sight hounds. I had him on because of his incredible hound inspired art work. Luke is a welder by trade but in a short time has become a very talented portrait artist, engraver, and silversmith.
