Hey there! Thanks for watching! Yes, I feel so blessed every time I look around. It’s truly a blessing to see this all the time and not taken for granted. Appreciate the nice comment, take care ✌🏻

What a fantastic comment! Thank you for sharing your insight and I couldn’t agree more. One thing I forgot to mention in this video and I would imagine you know this already but it’s unfortunately common for these dogs to accidentally bred with herding dogs on ranches since they are both commonly used as working dogs on the same properties. I do feel bad for the puppies knowing the genetics of both breeds. And yes, LGDs are not know to be people pleasing but man they sure can steal your heart ☺️ Thanks for watching and for the great comment! Take care ✌🏻

@@CrocGardener Thank you for the encouragement! I seem to be more relaxed about sharing things when I’m sitting on that truck 🤗 it’s a great question to ask yourself when you’re down. Take care ✌🏻

@@CrocGardener 👋🏻👋🏻 So good to hear you enjoyed this video! I also knew nothing about them when I reduced them. They completely changed my life and its direction. I found myself with 3 puppies in 8 weeks 😲 and dove in. Cart before the horse. Not the approach I would recommend but through dedication, time and some hard decisions it worked out. Thanks for watching and hope you and your family have a great New Years!! Take care ✌🏻

@@veryhighpower Thanks for watching ☺️✌🏻

@@PrepperDawg it was so good 😆 The butter it all so much better 🤭 Hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday! Take care over there ✌🏻

@@estherkalkbrenner5222 thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes the mixing can be so devastating to the puppies. A friend of mine had one she rescued that was a GP/aussie mix and it was all hyper and out of control and kept running away. She finally had to find him another home because she couldn’t manage him. Very sad. GPS collars are a great idea because we do know they like to wander if the opportunity arises 🤭 Thanks for watching and take care ✌🏻

​@@joey_the_farmdawgRight! I know two actual cases from life. One, in times of Yugoslavia the army used Shara mountain dogs, but there were not the easiest to train (being stubborn) so they tried a mix with German shepherd with horrible results (it was rumored that there were human deaths, although I have only n-th hand account, anyway the experiment was wery quickly ended). The other was told me by an owner of the Shara female, whom he left alone with a German Jagdterrier, when she was in heat - what could go wrong, she was 5 or 6 times larger? Well... love finds ways and there were puppies and the puppies grew into uncontrollable agressive dogs and they lived their lives chained in the village backyards, a life like what Americans call junkyard dogs, only worse.

@ Wow that experiment sounds crazy! Understanding genetics about breeds is important and the responsible thing to do. Thanks for sharing your stories and for watching! Take care ✌🏻

@@rostamr4096 would love to hear how it turns out! Thanks for watching and have fun with it. Take care ✌🏻

That is super interesting and a very touching comment. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year to you too! Thanks so much for watching my neighbor to the North, Take care ✌🏻

Its 11:15 if you look better 😊

@@davewhite9122 Not sure what clock you see but our power goes out often here and sometimes I don’t get around to resetting the digital clocks on appliances so you can’t ever count on what time it says 😂 Thanks for watching, take care ✌🏻

@@chickenlounge641 I think you are right on the nose with the time I started ✌🏻❤️

@@justjon8262 Hey there 👋🏻 Yes, it was a cold and windy day do it was perfect for that ☺️ Thanks for watching and take care Jon ✌🏻

@@Vesa-MattiKallio Thank you for the nice comment. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Take care ✌🏻

Looks extremely good. If I mail you a baggie can mail it back full of cornbread ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂

@ 😂😂 Glad you liked it and you could always take screenshots of the recipe at the end! Would love to hear how it turns out 🤗 Have a great NYE James ✌🏻

@@joey_the_farmdawg You and Joey have a great New Years

Hi there! That’s a great question. I have heard the same thing and like I say, there is more than one way to paint a wall. However, there is also a reason we don’t use lead paint anymore. IMO, there is a lot of old, outdated, wives tale information about these dogs. My best answer to that question is you can not “neuter out” 1000s of years of instinctual guardian genetics from these dogs. It is recommended to wait until about 24 months to do the procedure so that they may develop proper bone structure (their hormones let their bodies know when they are done growing). Bo is not neutered but only because he has entropia (curled inward eyelids) and I want to have both surgeries done at the same time when I can afford it. Thanks for watching and asking! I hope that helps, take care ✌🏻

@@ChampionRings They get the Kirkland (Costco) brand: Chicken and Rice. I looked it up and it’s made by the same manufacturer that I use to feed them: Diamond Naturals (but $10 less). Thanks for watching! Take care ✌🏻

@@ardenpeters4386 they can be such stinkers 😆😆 But they sure are amazing dogs 🤗✨

@@ardenpeters4386 I believe anyone who understands dog genetics wouldn’t do it. Thanks for watching and sharing! Take care ✌🏻

@@carpentertrim Thanks for watching! And yes, plenty of pure breeds and I actually don’t mind a mix as long as it’s kept within the lines of LGD breeds. Thanks for sharing, take care ✌🏻

Meanwhile Barbet is one of the extremely rare breeds.

@@tscully1504 The small dog is Joey and his mom is some sort of terrier mix (I suspect mostly rat) and his dad is supposedly a corgi but I think he looks more like a chi-weenie maybe mixed with some corgi 🤭

@@joey_the_farmdawg Ah ok, the Rat Terrier makes sense. I wasn't familiar with the breed but see they are similar to Chis in the face but have a short tail like yours. They sound like similar temperments too. Long lifespans as well, like Chis, which I find ironic that the most high strung apparently thrive on stress. :D

@ The nub of a tail is rat terrier and Joey looooves to get them! He is very bossy and not what you would call a snuggly dog so I’m sure he’ll be around for quite some time torturing the cats 😂

@@chickenlounge641 🤗✨✨

@ you are beautiful, inside out. Dont even bother with dating, the right one will find you without you needing to go search for him. And he will not mind any pet hair, as he will be into the same things as you are 🥰✨❤️

@@chickenlounge641Great advice and thank you so much for the sweet comment!! ☺️✨

@@pj4433 😂😂 If you don’t mind the smell of goat essence 😂 Thanks for watching, take care ✌🏻

That’s fantastic to hear your making a move to some land! Will be the best move ever. Thank you for your condolences. Some day I hope to tell his story. More lessons learned. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best of luck in your move. Take care ✌🏻

@@joey_the_farmdawg Thank you for your kind reply! Wishing you many blessings in 2025.

@@PrepperDawg haha Houdini 😂😂 But he has the sweetest little face 😇

🤭✌🏻

Thanks for watching! LGDs are fantastic 🤗✌🏻

Thanks for watching! Happy Holidays ✌🏻

@@richards2776 That sounds so frightening! It’s hard not knowing and second guessing things can be dangerous too so best you took him in. Glad to hear he’s doing better. Kennel cough is so contagious 😟 Take care and Happy Holidays to you ✌🏻

Just curious, have you ever thought about getting a Border Collie? Seems like you would have the perfect environment to raise a Border Collie. I decided not to get one after reading about the requirements on what it takes to raise and house a Border Collie. Yes Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

@ Super intelligent dogs which yes, means they need a lot of mental stimulation and a job. Maybe in the future if I had more livestock but I don’t have enough or move them far enough around the property yet to be able to utilize one properly. I also would be concerned about Bo and Franny not liking some new guy that wants to boss their staff around 😂

Thank you and thanks for watching! Take care and Happy Holidays to you ✌🏻

Merry Christmas Dan!! 🤗🎄

@@jamtlandhomesteaders2710 thank you for watching and sharing your comment! There is so much to know about these dogs. Happy Holidays to you! ✌🏻

@@Vesa-MattiKallio a rooster would be a great way to assure sustainability ✌🏻

​@@joey_the_farmdawgI remember when our chickens got a rooster in the house, they were happily running around it. ❤

@@chickenlounge641 absolutely! Thanks for watching and take care ✌🏻

@ which state do you live in? We are in the mountains of SE Idaho ❤️

@ your neighbor to the north here in Montana 👋🏻👋🏻

@@joey_the_farmdawg beautiful ❤️

@@shannonbash5237 same to you too! Merry Christmas 🎄 ✌🏻

So glad to hear you enjoyed it! There is so much to be learned about these guys and I enjoy sharing about them. Thanks for watching and letting me know you liked it. Merry Christmas 🎄✌🏻

@@KevinBirn-kl2fy I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and letting me know. Merry Christmas my friend 🎄✌🏻

@@Vesa-MattiKallio when they were puppies I gave them bones but unfortunately they ate huge resource guarders so if they get things of really high value they have a tendency to fight.

There is a myth that raw meat makes dogs more agressive. That's all it is - a myth.

@@filobetobaby thank you so much! That’s great feedback to hear! Some “Richard” called me a Karen in my last video I made about them 😂

@joey_the_farmdawg i don't understand how people can find fault when you're literally sharing YOUR experience and thoughts. Goodness.

@@filobetobaby it takes all kinds 😂✌🏻

@@PrepperDawg 😂😂 but it you got a trailer you and Mrs Dawg could haul them onto a trail somewhere and be outside like you guys like to do! See, no problems only solutions 😆✌🏻

@@joey_the_farmdawg Love it! 😆

@@PrepperDawg Each day feels like a gift to look up and see those mountains. They have been very healing for me to too ☺️

@@robertdb5111 Hello Fenceless Rob 😆 Yes, hot wire is essential for Livestock Guardian Dogs. They have a desire to roam so they may mark and explore their territory. They are diggers and or climbers and can get out of the slightest gap- it’s “shocking” haha. It only took a couple times to hit the wire and it’s now more of a psychological barrier but they are very smart and I don’t want to take the chance of them figuring it out that it’s not on. And it is more to keep them in as I don’t worry about a predator getting in- they’ll take care of that 😂 I plan to do a video about this too! Thanks for asking. Happy Holidays to you ✌🏻

Thanks for answering and Happy Holidays to you and all happy animal family🐕🦃🐑🐏

@@filobetobaby it does make the ticking sound the green light that flashes in sync with the tick isn’t lighting up. Thanks for the thought! Happy Holidays ✌🏻🎄

@@jamesbrown6477 that’s a great thought. I’ll have to check that! Thanks James and Happy Holidays to you my friend 🤗🎄✌🏻

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Joey

So good to hear 🤗 Take care and Happy Holidays to you!! ✌🏻

Because we are having a mild temp winter so far the ground is pretty saturated. I’ve always tested it in this spot as well as a few others and got positive results so something is of the matter. Thanks for the suggestions ☺️ Take care and Happy Holidays to you ✌🏻

@@zulayla I’d imagine you find yourself needing to go two directions at once 😆 That’s enough to keep anyone busy and not having time for yourself. My dependent is all grown up now, 18, but I do remember those days too. He crawled at 7 months and was walking/running by 9 months 🙃 Hoping you are finding some balance with everything considering. Thanks for sharing and take care ☺️✌🏻
