This Week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...

This episode is one for the memory books. Allen sits down with Mitch Gould, a modern-day elite in the breeding world whose hounds have dominated at the highest levels for decades - highlighted by Mitch’s own World Championship win in 2022. 🏆

Together, they reminisce about the moments, stories, and lessons behind Mitch’s top three dogs - the kind of hounds that define a program and leave a lasting mark on the sport. And the impact they made were so big, it couldn't fit in one episode! From unforgettable runs (many shared with his daughter Aubrey) to the traits that set them apart, Mitch opens up about what made each of these dogs truly special and how they helped shape his success as a breeder and competitor.

It’s an honest, insightful, and heartfelt conversation that goes beyond wins and titles, offering something for beaglers, breeders, and dog sport enthusiasts alike who understand that the best dogs leave memories just as big as their trophies.

This Week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...

The conversation continues on UNDISPUTED as Allen sits back down with Todd Morgan, former Manager of UKC’s Beagle Programs from 1996–2008. After helping grow an already established program into one of UKC’s most supported and popular, Todd brings decades of perspective - and plenty of stories - to the table.

In this episode, the UNDISPUTED format keeps flipping the script as Todd weighs in on a new round of categories that go beyond the hounds themselves. This week, they're discussing:

• Most Influential Breeders
• Best Hunt Judges
• "Sit & Spit"...our personal favorite segment
• Influential Clubs

This marks another first for UNDISPUTED, continuing the series’ expansion into non-hound categories and shining a spotlight on the people and clubs that have shaped the sport behind the scenes. Insightful, opinionated, and rooted in experience, this is classic UNDISPUTED with a fresh twist.

This Week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...we’re flipping the UNDISPUTED script on its head.

For this special edition, we’re joined by Todd Morgan, former manager of UKC’s Beagle Programs from 1996–2008. During his tenure, Todd took over an already established program and helped expand its reach, support, and popularity - leaving a lasting impact that’s still felt today.

But instead of ranking his top hounds, Todd takes UNDISPUTED in a brand-new direction. In the first-ever episode to move beyond dogs, Todd weighs in on three powerful categories:

• Most Influential People
• Best Handlers
• Unsung Heroes

Drawing from decades of experience in the sport, Todd offers thoughtful - and occasionally bold - perspectives on the people who shaped competition, elevated the game, and quietly kept things moving behind the scenes.

If you’ve enjoyed past episodes of UNDISPUTED, this one brings the same passion and insight with a fresh twist you won’t want to miss.

Tune in for a conversation that celebrates not just the hounds, but the people who made the program what it is today.

This week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...

Allen continues his conversation with legendary champion beagler Roy Swafford in Part Two of their in-depth sit-down of UNDISPUTED. Roy has been part of the UKC Beagle Program since day one, winning nearly every major UKC event along the way, including the Nationals twice—and making history as the winner of the very first UKC Beagle Nationals. He’s also served the sport beyond the field, spending time managing the UKC Beagle Program and working as a Field Representative for more than a decade.

In this episode, Roy turns the focus to the dog that stands above the rest - his number one dog of all time. He shares what set this hound apart, the moments that defined their partnership, and why this dog earned a permanent place at the top of his list. It’s a reflective, story-filled conversation that captures the heart of beagling and the bond between a hunter and a truly special dog.

This week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been looking back on some of our hosts’ favorite episodes as we slow down for the holidays and reflect on where the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast has been.

This week’s episode is Trevor’s favorite of all time - Episode 96: Common Coonhound Misconceptions. It’s an episode that captures Trevor’s passion and commitment for the sport, and his dedication to moving the coonhound program forward.

Last week, we said goodbye to Trevor as he begins an exciting new chapter with his young family and a new career. While we’ll miss hearing his voice on the podcast, his impact on the UKC Coonhound Program will be felt for years to come. From thoughtful conversations to meaningful improvements within the program, Trevor helped shape discussions that mattered and pushed the sport in a positive direction.

This episode is a fitting look back - not just as a favorite conversation, but at the legacy Trevor leaves behind. We hope you’ll tune in, listen back, and join us in celebrating everything he brought to UKC and the coonhound community.

Thank you, Trevor, and best of luck in what comes next.

This Week on the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast...

The holidays are a time for slowing down, spending time with family, and reflecting on where we’ve been. Over the next few weeks, the UKC Hunting Ops Podcast is doing just that by revisiting some favorite episodes from our early days.

This week, Allen is sharing one of his personal picks and taking us all the way back to Episode 3 - a reminder of where it all began.

In this early episode, Allen and UKC Vice President Todd Kellam are joined by Todd Morgan, one of the original UKC Beagle Program Managers. It’s a conversation from the early days of the podcast, filled with perspective, experience, and the voices of those who helped shape the program in its formative years.

Listening back offers a chance to reflect on the roots of UKC’s hunting programs and the people who were there at the beginning. It’s a simple look back at an earlier chapter - and a reminder of how far we’ve come since then.

We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. From all of us at UKC, happy holidays and happy listening.
