Most people think growing a better kennel means adding more dogs, more crosses, more pups, and more chaos.

I don’t believe that.

In this episode of Thoughts of a Dog Man, we break down the idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy’s book 10X Is Easier Than 2X and apply it directly to hunting dogs, kennel management, breeding programs, and producing better results.

Sometimes the biggest jump forward comes from cutting the bottom 80% and doubling down on what actually works.

We talk about:

• Why adding more dogs usually creates worse results
• The difference between 2X thinking and 10X thinking
• Why elite kennels are often smaller and more intentional
• Dogs that earn feed vs dogs taking up space
• Resetting a kennel before it crashes
• Breeding with purpose instead of emotion
• Focus, standards, and building a real program

This episode isn’t about tearing people down.

It’s about challenging dog men to think differently if they truly want exceptional results.

In Episode 1, I talked about how I ended up owning the A.L.C.B.A.

In Episode 2, I broke down the history, the split within the breed, and why it still matters today.

Now we talk about the future.

This episode is about where the Leopard breed stands right now, what I believe is hurting it, and what can still be done to help preserve what makes these dogs special.

I talk about the importance of people working together, putting pride aside, learning from experienced Leopard people who are still here, and keeping Leopards true to what they were meant to be.

Because at the end of the day…

Leopards should be Leopards.

And if people truly care about the breed, there is still time to make a difference.

This isn’t about attacking anyone or living in the past.

It’s about asking an important question:

What are we going to do moving forward?

A lot of people know the letters A.L.C.B.A. — but not many know what it actually is, why it matters, or how much history is tied to it.

In this episode, I break down the American Leopard Cur Breeders Association, what a breed-specific registry can really do, and why Leopards have always been a unique breed with their own lane.

I also talk about the major shift that happened in 2008, how the breed ended up divided in different directions, and why many people still feel the effects of that today.

Most importantly, I talk about why there is still time to make a difference.

As long as knowledgeable people are still here, good dogs are still here, and people still care — there is still an opportunity to help get the Leopard breed back on a stronger path.

This is Part 2 of a 3-part series.

In the next episode, I’ll talk about where I believe things can go from here, what can be built, and what it will take moving forward.
