40+ Years of Experience: Dog Men Just Talking Dogs
1h 14m | Oct 21, 2026What happens when over 40 years of hunting experience meets the next generation of dog men?
On this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, I'm joined by Donald Savoy, a member of our Dog Man Insider community who brings over 40 years of hunting experience, along with his mentee Chris, who has spent the past four years learning from Mr. Donald.
We sit down for a conversation centered around something that means a lot to all of us: hunting dogs, mentorship, and the relationships built through a shared passion for the outdoors.
One of the things I appreciate about the hunting-dog community is the opportunity to learn from people who have spent decades in the woods. But just as important is having people willing to share what they've learned with those coming behind them.
That's what makes the relationship between Mr. Donald and Chris worth talking about.
Whether you're a new handler, an experienced dog man, or somebody who simply enjoys a good conversation about hunting dogs, I hope this episode gives you something to think about.
Here's a question for you:
Who was somebody who took the time to help you when you were first getting started with hunting dogs?
