Ron Boehme has been a judge for the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association for 25 years and is the creator of The Hunting Dog Podcast. He’s an expert when it comes to knowing which breeds work best in the field and what qualities hunters should look for in a canine hunting companion.
Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, Ron wasn’t introduced to hunting and gun culture until he was a teenager. However, his passion for the sport quickly blossomed, and it wasn’t long before he began searching for the perfect hunting dog. Through trial and error, Ron’s discovered some of the most important secrets to identifying the best breed and dogs, which he shares in his popular podcast.
Today, Ron is recording his eighth season of The Hunting Dog Podcast. Over the years, he’s interviewed hunters from around the world about their breeds, the game laws in their area and training tips. He’s brought on representatives from Pheasants Forever and Ruffed Grouse Society to talk about habitat and forest restoration and grass restoration. But he says the common thread of his interviews and each episode is that every person he talks to is a “dog person.”
In this episode of The Slayer Hunting Podcast, you’ll hear about Ron’s background, as well as his insights and tips for selecting and training the right hunting dog for you.
