A major piece of legislation could have serious consequences for hunters, gun dog owners, and the future of dog training.

In this episode of the Upduck Podcast, Tyler is joined by Chris Ingram of the United Kennel Club (UKC) to break down the controversial Greyhound Protection Act and its inclusion in the Farm Bill. While intended to target commercial greyhound racing, the bill’s broad language may extend far beyond that—potentially impacting hunting with dogs, field trials, hunt tests, and training with live birds.

Drawing from the latest update and announcement released by UKC, we unpack why this language is raising concern across the hunting and dog training communities.

We cover:

What the Farm Bill is and why it matters to hunters
How this legislation could affect retrievers, pointers, upland dogs, and waterfowl hunting

The potential risks to gun dog training, UKC events, and conservation practices
