Within the world of purebred coonhounds there exists seven recognized breeds, each with a national association that affiliates with the major coonhound registry, United Kennel Club. These associations exist not only to steer the future of the individual breeds within the registry, but also as a fraternity, or sorority as the case may be, of individuals devoted to the breed. None is more tightknit than the American Black and Tan Coonhound Association, Our guest in this episode, Matt Wachter of Gardendale, Ala., is a young man that chose the Black and Tan Breed early on in his coon hunting career and has benefited greatly from the mentors he has gained through his choice of breeds. One such mentor and personal friend is the late Doug Moore of Mt. Olive, Alabama.Moore recently passed at the age of 82.The dog talk at its finest in this episode is full of stories of hunting with Moore and other stalwarts of the Black and Tan breed of Wachter’s experience. Although fanciers of Black and Tans will no doubt appreciate this episode most, the stories, accounts and benefits of a coon hunter’s life within the confines of a given breed should serve to influence others to choose a similar path.
