Meet The Working Dogs That Are Saving Florida Wildlife

I get a lot of questions about the dogs I use to help me remove invasive species. People know about Moose and Otto, but they don’t realize the full scope of my operation. Let me introduce you to the rest of my pack.

A Solid Crew Of Dogs

I’ve got a crew of hog dogs, iguana dogs, and even some all-purpose dogs that can handle anything from birds to raccoons. These guys are the backbone of my business. We couldn’t do it without them.

One of my favorite stories is about Helen, a blind rescue dog I took in. Against all odds, she’s become a valuable member of the team. She’s even got a feature on Swamp People! Then there’s Mouse, a young hog dog with incredible potential. I’m already planning on breeding her with Moose to create the next generation of superhunters.

Rogue is my go-to expert for Florida Iguana Hunts. She’s calm, collected, and a natural-born hunter. I trust her completely to lead my clients’ dogs on hunts when I can’t be there.

A Qualified Kennel of Hunting Dogs

I’ve got a whole kennel full of dogs, from seasoned veterans like Nip, who’s been with me through thick and thin, to young pups with boundless energy. Each one brings something unique to the team.

Take Chomp, for example. This guy’s got heart. He once jumped off the roof of my side-by-side to chase down a pack of hogs. Now that’s dedication! And then there’s Catfish, my iguana specialist. He’s a good dog, but he’s got a knack for finding trouble, like that time he brought back a feral cat instead of an iguana.

I’ve invested a lot of time and resources into creating a comfortable environment for my dogs. They deserve it. After all, they’re the ones putting in the hard work.

Running this operation wouldn’t be possible without my incredible pack. They’re more than just dogs; they’re my partners.
