If you thought the Baypen scene couldn’t get any bigger… you’re about to find out how wrong you were.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Baden Crittle from Australian Black Mouth Curs, and let me tell you — this man isn’t just talking about change, he’s making it happen. We dug deep into what it takes to take this sport beyond state lines, beyond the U.S., and onto a world stage.

For the first time ever, international dogs are being imported to compete — real, proven working dogs from Australia coming to show what they’re made of in front of American crowds. And Baden’s not stopping there. His mission is to make the Baypen International more than just a name… he’s chasing the dream of a true World Championship.

Now, we didn’t sugarcoat a damn thing in this episode. Some folks might feel a little sting — and that’s alright. When you speak truth in this game, not everyone claps. We broke down the real difference between baypen dogs and woods dogs, what separates a show pony from a workhorse, and how the Aussie mindset lines up with the American grit that built this sport in the first place.

Baden also talked about what it’s like to bounce back after a full week at Uncle Earl’s — the grind, the exhaustion, and that same fire that keeps you showing up every year. This one’s raw, real, and full of passion for the dogs and the sport we all love.
