Season II Filming

Well... Summer is finally here! It's hot out and we're feverishly working on filming Season II. We plan to do a little travelling and hope to provide a good mix of hound and tree dog action. We'd like to travel more but our budget is even tighter this season. If you're looking for national television advertising, we still have some premium spots left.

Happy Hunting and Stay Cool!

Dog Advertising

Okay, Joe and I have both danced around this topic but the bottom line is that a TV production costs money. Since we're not paid to air our show, the only way we can afford to put it on, is through advertising dollars. We have a lot of great product sponsors, but that still doesn't cover the bills.

We created the kennel sponsorships to provide a unique advertising opportunity to the dog owners, as well as a means of letting them help us afford to put hounds and tree dogs on television. Sort of a "grass roots" approach.

Once again, you do not have to pay to be on the show. We may choose to film a hunt with you, because of the unique episode it may make. BUT... if you would like to help us afford this production, and would like some national television advertising, the kennel sponsorships is the way to do it.

Kennel Sponsorship - Banner ad about your kennel or dog at the close of every episode. 52 airings over a six month period, plus advertising on our website. $750 per six month season.

Premium Kennel Sponsorship - The above kennel sponsorship, plus a televised hunt airing 4 times per season and a separate page and video on our website. $2500 per six month season.

Trust me, national television advertising to a potential 32 million homes, does not come cheaper!

If interested contact Joe Newlin or myself. The televised hunt can include one dog or dog owners or a few, as long as we can edit the hunt down to a half hour show. This usually means we can fit 3-4 trees or game in the show. The banner ad would still only include one logo, though.
