In this episode, Erik sits down with Andreas Gering to discuss his journey with hunting hounds, importing American Bluetick Coonhounds to Sweden, and the challenges of developing and hunting these dogs in a very different environment.

Andreas shares his experiences hunting in both Sweden and the United States, comparing hunting traditions, dog culture, training methods, and the regulations that shape how hunters operate on each side of the Atlantic.
