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.

If this episode gave you something to think about, share it with someone who cares about dogs, breeding, and preserving something worth keeping alive.

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.

If this episode connects with you, share it with someone who’s serious about dogs and doing things the right way.

If you’re thinking about using training scent to start a young dog… this episode is for you.

Training scent can be a useful tool—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood parts of starting a hunting dog. A lot of beginners are told to use it, but very few are told how, when, or how long.

In this episode, I break down what training scent actually is, why people use it, where it can help, and where it can start holding your dog back. I also walk through how I’ve used it myself, what I’ve seen in young dogs, and how to transition from setup training to real game.

The goal isn’t to tell you not to use it—the goal is to help you understand it, so you can make better decisions and give your dog the best chance to succeed.

If you’re just getting started, or even if you’ve been doing this a while and want a different perspective, this one should help you think a little deeper about how you’re starting your dogs.

If this episode helped you, share it with someone getting started!
