DIY Dog Box Talk w/ Anecdote of a Houndsman | Ep. 6 HOTR Podcast

This week I have my fellow HoundTuber (hound + YouTuber … get it?) Chris from Anecdote of a Houndsman. He recently published a video about building a dog box out entirely recycled or reused materials. The man is a DIY juggernaut and knows his way around a scrap yard … in fact, he used to own one. I have been planning on building a new dog myself for a while, so I thought this was a great opportunity to catch up with Chris, talk about dog boxes, and get some ideas. I hope you enjoy!
