Summary
This episode features the owners of the current PKC World Coonhound Champion Willy’s Little Ann. Fresh off her latest in an amazing string of major wins including the UKC World Championship and the Tournament of Champions, Little Ann is writing a chapter in the coonhound record book that may never be duplicated.
In this episode John Strickland, Ashley Oxendine and Randy Smith, three of the four partners that own the reining world champion in two major registries, join Steve to tell Ann’s story to our listeners.
Partnerships in the dog world are rarely successful and often are more of a business deal than a friendship. Not so with these guys. Each tells their personal versions of Ann’s story and illustrates that partners can be successful and have a close personal relationship at the same time. These guys care about their hound and they care each about the other and it shows.
This is a don’t miss listen and easily makes the list of best efforts by the Gone To The Dogs Podcasts to date. See if you don’t agree.
