Show Notes
The United Kennel Club’s annual Tournament of Champions, open to coonhounds that have earned the registry’s prestigious Nite Champion title, has rapidly become the most-sought-after competition in the realm of purebred coonhounds. Held annually in Greencastle, Indiana, the annual competition consists of more than one thousand eligible coonhounds competing for the overall win.
Our guest in this episode is Jeff Ricklefs, a former guest on this podcast, who emerged the overall champion with a Treeing Walker Coonhound owned by John Strickland and Doug Galbreath of Kentucky named Grand Nite Champion Strick’s Hardtimes Hobo. Hobo took home the $50 thousand top prize for his owners in a commanding performance that is rarely seen at this level..
In this episode, Ricklefs recaps his exciting run for the title and the big check. Jeff is a podcaster’s dream, an articulate speaker with tremendous recall and the ability to put the listener in the truck and in the woods in the fast lane of competition as no one else can. This is a great episode!
