  • Last of the Old Breed - Stan Mecham
    Feb 17 2025

    His great grandfathers tamed a wild place. His ancestors include the first white child born in Bryce Canyon, Utah. He has hunted wild places before many white people ever saw it. He established a line of hounds that span 50 generations of game catchers, roped and captured mountain lions alone, started a 3 generation outfitting business, had horse wrecks and heart ache and victory. This is Stan Mecham.

    Mr Stan Mecham will be 88 years old this year. With nearly nine decades under his belt, his life has been so filled with adventure he has never moved away from his hometown of Tropic, UT.

    This is a Houndsman XP exclusive. Three generations of Mechams join Chris on this in person interview in Mr Stan’s home to discuss the Last of the Old Breed.

  • The Truth About Aggression
    Feb 13 2025

    Aggression, man made or genetic? Can you recognize aggressive behavior? Why does your hound growl? Have you put your hound in a situation that may manifest itself into full blown fight mode?

    Heath Hyatt joins Chris for this in depth discussion about dog behavior and how it effects houndsmen. Heath explains the why it is important to be able to identify what type of aggression your hound is showing. Once we know why the dog is being aggressive we can take step to redirect behavior. Heath identifies key areas that are of the utmost concern for houndsmen. Finally Chris and Heath discuss real life situations and how to avoid a reaction to a negative event.

    There is no definitive answer to how to correct aggression. Each situation is different and should be approached on its own merit. Listeners will have some valuable take aways and will increase their houndsmen skills with this one.
