When one chooses to take on the Maggies, Barnies, and Hopes of this world, acceptance is the name of the game. As Luke said, you can either Laugh or Cry. Thank you, Luke and Sam, for accepting and opening your home to these 3 beautiful creatures.💘
I’ve been following Barney and Maggie from when they were at BRNA and also donated towards Barney’s surgery. So I was over the moon when they arrived at the farm and I knew they were both home. Sweet Hope has came such a long way I found myself crying sad tears with the 1st video with her mum at how shut down they both were. But now I cry happy tears with all the milestone Hope is making. ❤❤❤
Hopefully, BRNA puts this video on their channel so that their subs can be networked. As Sam pointed out the other day that less than 20% of commenters, I believe, are from Australia which reduces the number of potential adopters.
The video of Luke kneeling on the ground next to Hope when she and her Mom arrived at the farm is forever burned into my memory. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Her Mom's battle with cancer did bring me to tears. Hope is a favorite of mine.
Hope and Faith are always in my prayers - Faith in Heaven and Hope at the Farm living her Fairytale Dream with Sam, Luke, the children, and all her mates - I know in my heart and soul Hope still has memories of her Dear Mom who she Loves and Misses Dearly but I'm so very Thankful for Luke, Sam, and the Farm Pack for adopting and loving Hope with lots of patience and TLC - Thanks so very much for all your Kindness and Love Evans Family & Farm Pack - Love, Hugs, and Blessings to All Always❤❤❤❤
That memory is a heartbreaking lasting moment for me too. Hope is divine, living her best life, Faith would be so proud of and happy for her. Bless her. Xx🙋🇬🇧❣️
Every time you do sign with Maggie and Miss Violet I felt such a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. It is so beautiful and shows who you truly are, patient and loving parents! I’ll never forget the day I found out about Faith having cancer. It was first thing I the morning in the heat of summer, I turned on my TV, saw the Farms’ thumbnail and started crying yelling, “No no no”. For those that might be new…..Luke and Sam paid for all the testing, chemotherapy and pain medication for Faith…thousands upon thousands to make her last month the most comfortable as humanly possible. I’m sure Faith is looking in on Hope with much gratitude and her soul is at peace. Barney is so adorable with the sweetest puppy face. How amazing the nappies and body suits are! I wish I had known about them. Laundry piles up super quick when your fur-babies have those issues. My favorite part of this video is 26:25. It makes me sooooo very happy seeing you two laugh, two beautiful angels! Bless you Aunt Sam and Uncle Luke.😇❤️😇❤️🥹
I love it when Sam is finally in front of the camera, her passion for the dogs is so heartwarming, they love their mumma, she is so fiercely protective of them, I just love it, and the banter between Sam and Luke makes for great videos🐕🐕🐕
Sam's growing in confidence in front of the camera. It doesn't hurt that she's empathetic, caring, smart, writes beautifully, a great Mom, and gorgeous!
@@deborahpaley21 yes gorgeous inside and out… 🐾❤️🤗 Luke isn’t to bad either… lol 🤣 USA cougar here. What a beautiful couple they are. Really enjoy seeing their journey together as a couple, a family and The Farm. 🐾❤️🤗 Note: I’m only kidding guys … I’m 67 and harmless… they do have unbelievable good looking men in Australia perhaps it’s the accent. 🤣🤣🤣 just made it worse…
Before watching The Farm I never had any knowledge of Boxers. The 3 Boxers have the most adorable eyes. I love the way Maggie goes crazy when Luke signs. Hope made me cry when she cringed, but now she really wants loving constantly so thank God she was adopted by Luke and Sam. I couldn't handle the illness and passing of Faith, those backyard breeders should be punished severely. Barney looks sooooo damned cute with his nappy and suits. It's a wonder these dogs are so happy after their past treatment. To me this shows dogs are so forgiving of Human cruelty and indifference. 'Oil Slick' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Poo discussions are so hilarious. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 72yrs
Rona that is a brilliant idea. Unfortunately we dont have a great conviction rate across the Irish Sea here in Northern Ireland. Our rules are very sketchy over here when any one have been discovered. ❤
I've been lucky enough to have boxers all my life, they are the best. I've never known a bad boxer, mad but not bad. I just don't understand how these backyard breeders get away with it, they should be locked up.
As a boxer owner I couldn’t click on this soon enough. I remember each of their first day coming to the farm, Barney weak from his ailments and being caged, thin and needing time to build strength. Maggie came in like a wrecking ball, exuberant and bouncy, and poor Hope, the most shut down dog I personally have ever seen. I use her tail to gauge how she is and i had never seen a tail that firmly down and between her legs. I have laughed and cried along their journeys and what a long way they have come🐾💕💕🐾 😂😂😂’Poo? Yea mate” had me rolling!😂😂😂
I truly love Sam's passion when she talks about all the dogs, but something about her love coming thru when she talked about Maggie and Ms Violet being best friends! Made me shed happy tears 🥺. These boxers are all so special in their own way. Love seeing Hope want more and more snuggles! 💕 🐕🐾💕
It's so heartwarming how Hope is learning to be the true boxer she was always meant to be, with teachers handsome Barney Boy and beautiful Maggie Girl. Better teachers there could not be, save for Momma Faith, who I'm sure is grateful for these two Farm stars taking her sweet Hope under their tutelage. 💞🐾💞
I really enjoyed watching the Boxer Video - so nice to see Luke and Sam reviewing how Maggie, Barney, and Hope came to the Farm - Thanks so much for sharing - Love , Hugs, and Blessings to All ❤❤❤❤
It is so easy to forget the past lives of all the pack. They have all (except Cutie Pie) been rejected, abandoned, traumatised or in Tilly’s case lost human mum tragically. You took in dogs that no one else wanted and have given them such an amazing life. ❤❤❤❤
Prior to becoming a follower of Luke & Sam, I knew little about boxers. So intelligent, starting as a fan of Bandit. Thank you being informative. Seeing Hope pancake was hard to grasp her terror was so obvious and so severe. Now she is a boxer.
I am so happy and grateful that you adopted Barney, Maggie, Hope and Faith to give them a forever home in your Family. It is awesome to see them living their best lives. I love all dogs, but as a boxer mum boxers have a special place in my heart. ❤❤❤❤
I adore watching all three of them trying to get Luke’s attention when they are ready to get in the pool, and then seeing how proud they are for those special moments.
Hi Barney, Maggie and Hope, your mom and dad gave a beautiful talk about you three and it was so wonderful. You three are such special pooches Barney you’re a loveable goof, Maggie, your special uptown, gal who always has it going on and Hope you have an amazing spirit. Love you all.❤❤❤
As a boxer mum I loved this video and I always look for them in the videos ❤ I followed Barney and Maggie’s story on boxer rescue and that is where I found out about the farm. Thank you for giving these 3 beautiful boxers a wonderful loving home ❤
Btw. I’d love to watch a video of Luke and Sam talking about Barney to a classroom of 5-7 year old kids. They would break out in hysterical laughter over all the poo 💩 talk. 😂😂
Oh so true.. I use to teach 3graders and at some point poo and farts would come up . I had 2great books that I would read “Everybody Farts and Everybody Poops”. Oh the giggles were so much fun.
I’m laughing so hard my sides hurt listening to the Barney poo stories especially the poo by poo story of Barney walking all over the house w/o nappy.😂😂😂😂
Each dog is an example of the love, care and rich environment they’ve been given to thrive. Their sad pasts are that now, past. The Farm helps to ease off their burdens. Each dog in your care has realized their potential or working on achieving it. And us followers are over the moon that we get to witness these creatures halting or small steps or leaps towards their best lives. Thank you Luke, Sam, the Staff, Dee, Jason, Adam and all the people who assist in making all of this possible. ❤❤❤❤🐕🐕🦺🐈⬛ 🐶
I cried during the intro of Faith & Hope cuz I was so used to see Bandits love of life being so great. To see Faith and Hope and thinking of that being done to such a great dog like Bandit. I still cry if Im rewatching those videos. Bandit set the standard for all boxers i see and meet.
Beautiful bouncy biggish boxers! My love affair with boxers started with the brilliantly bountiful & beloved Bandit who represents his breed beautifully, which these 3 lived up to every day. My familiarity with poo happily continues with Luke's reporting of such incidences with such aplomb & honesty - as said if one doesn't poo, one dies🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰. Thank you, Luke & and Sam, for welcoming & loving these sweeties to the Farm & giving them the best potential for living their best boxer life.
Excellent post for those members/subscribers who are new to this channel!! Luke and Sam are awesome spokespeople for the dogs at the Farm!! I have grown to love Boxers because of your channel!! First, with Bandit Boy ( miss him!!!) and now these 3 Boxer Characters!! ❤️🐕🐕🐕❤️❤️ I don’t forget the Beautiful Faith whom we lost…😢❤
Look at you two Proud Boxer Parents!! 👏🥹🥰 It's so sweet to see you gush and share about your tough as nails Boxers. What a fabulously special Trio 🐾 They are each absolutely beautiful!!
Laughed and cried through this whole video. Three very special differently abled cute bouncy boxers living their best lives. Your future’s so bright you’ve gotta wear shades 😎 Maggie 🤍Hope 💝Barney 🤎
Boxers are the most beautiful dogs! Their faces are SO expressive and they really are clowns as puppies!! Hope has come such a long way and to see her coming up to humans for pats and cuddles is a wonderful testament to time healing and all your love and care.
I love this Chanel…Maggie is such a mental chick who loves life and loves annoying the others. This never fails to crack me up and I love how annoyed she gets in her mind. Hope…we’ll where do I start…the poster girl for rehab really but she is just so special and it is wonderful to see her progress and personality. Barney, the wannabe tough guy, who knows he’s tough, but no one else does. My fave video was when Barney was trying to enforce the law with Maggie, Ms Violet and Shadow. Maggie got annoyed by his intervention and chased him away at top speed…😆❤️
Loved the focus on my favorite breed, Boxers, and especially on my secret crush, Barney. I am glad you answered the question about how it works when Barney goes into the pool.....I have been wondering that for the longest time. Each of the Boxers are unique in their own way, and have had amazing life's journeys already in their young lives. But their best lives began when they came to the Farm where their physical and emotional needs were catered to, and their souls learned the true meaning of love. They each became valued members of a pack of dogs and beloved members of a very special family of humans. It has been pure pleasure watching them grow and mature and I look forward to see them as they develop into adulthood. Thank you for adopting and loving these beautiful dogs.
This was a beautiful video and it showed the passion you both have for these “misfits”, and now look at them. Your love for these special dogs is so lovely. Barney is such a nosy poke, and true the nappy is not helping his play for deputy with Freddo and Roscoe, Maggie is a bouncy joy, and Hope is a sweetheart finding her true self. You two really finish each other’s sentences, so cute. 😊❤
Hope, Barney and Maggie each had thier own journey to The Farm. Hope is slowly becoming the beautiful wonderful girl she was born to be. Barney so darn cute in his camo jammies. He is trying so hard to be top dog, not gonna happen that's Freddos job. Maggie so pretty , such a good girl. She loves Miss Violet. I have said it before and will say it again The Farm is a healing place. And talking about bowel habits, takes me back to my CNA days
Thank you for this most loving talk about the 3 boxers. Your love for them palpable. They are indeed special, well as all these dogs are. I could listen to you both talking about your family of dogs forever. Bless you.
Oh this trio of Boxers!! What a joy they all are. From sweet girl Hope and her terrible situation and then loosing her Mum and then finally coming out and loving all her brothers, sisters, her Mum Sam, Dad Luke and now her little humans. Sending her extra cuddles and love. Then the beautiful Maggie and the amazing new language she learned at the Farm to communicate. BRAVO Maggie!!! Your sisters and brothers love you and your family too. Oh Barney boy you will always have that baby face put you a wonderful, wonderful boy. You are following with the big boys Freddo and Rosco and now Lilly to you have your place and job and you are so special. Sending love from San Diego. Hugs to all the Boxers and one to Bandit too. We sure miss that boy and hope he is well. 💜🤍💙 ❤❤❤❤❤
Hope has made leaps and bounds. When she came it was she just wanted to make herself as small as possible. Now she open up ears are perky and bouncing around. Maggie is a comidian. Barney is a chiller.
Bless Barney he is a character. In fact Maggie and Hope are characters too. I love them all. These dogs obviously love you back. I truly enjoy them and look forward to more posts. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
I've learnt so much about Boxers since 2020, when I came across your channel. Have watched their stories and have gone from not particularly liking Boxers to realising what bundles of bouncing fun & love they are. Owners do have to channel that abundant bounce and inquisitive mind though or they lead themselves astray. Love Maggie, Hope & Barney but it all started with Bandit the beautiful. Bandit showed me what a fabulous breed they are. If I ever come back in a new life, I want to live life as Bandit! That lad has the best life ever. He is such an amazing boy. I see the same elements in your three boxers. I was devastated to see the condition of Faith & Hope when they first came to the farm. I cried to see how terrified & shutdown they were. Hope has come soooo far. These Boxers have a fabulous life - actually life on the farm, as any of the dog's or cat, would be bliss.
Hope and Faith stole my heart the day they arrived. When Luke picked her up and carried her I knew things would be alright in time. To allow her and Faith to progress at their own speed has made such a difference. Now seeing Hope's twinkling eyes and full boxer grin is so heartwarming. And Sam is Hope's special person. Thank you both for giving Hope the time she needs.
Who wouldn't love all 3 of them they are all super endearing in their own particular way. I have had dogs as shut down as Faith and Hope and it's absolutely devastating to me to see those tell tail signs in any other dog. So I definitely appreciate the journey as well as how happy and secure and full of life she is these days. God love her, more than any other dog she deserves the best.
Love watching this trio having the best lives, being so happy and well adjusted to each other and the pack, is truly wonderful to see. When you think back what their lives were like before The Farm, it's not easy. Hope, Maggie, and Barney are in the best home anyone could wish for, and their personalities shine through their everything they do. 💙❤❤
I loved the video when he pooped everywhere. All of a sudden we hear a scratch at the door. Who is it? MR. BANDIT. Then Luke and Sam says "you can't come in, it's not safe in here". Bandit had a look on his face like what, he didn't poop on my chair did he. There's poop everywhere. I laughed so hard
Wow beautiful beautiful stories of Hope, Maggie and Barney. Sad starting but happy happy ending. Living best of fun loving beautiful life. Thank you Luke and Sam for all you do for every fur babies in your care 😇😇😇. God bless you and God watch over you and your family 🙏🙏🙏. Beautiful Faith is in heaven watching over Hope and everyone. She is in peace knowing how wonderful life Hope is living🙏🙏🙏. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸
3 beautiful boxers. They are such wonderful family dogs. I can't help but think of Bandit every time I see them, especially Hope. Sure hope Bandit is doing well and that he may come to the farm for a visit soon.
Me, too! I'd love to see him teach them how to really be boxers! Any chance of that?🙏 To Luke & Sam: I found your Channel(s) last year, and have fallen in love with you all! I had to take a small break, but then I came back and found out you adopted my favorite breed ever...X4! 🎉 (now 3, I know😢). Request: shorts of them doing the most goofy boxer stuff 🙏 *Someday soon, I hope, it will be within my Financial ability to Subscribe* In the meantime, I share the videos with as many people as will tolerate me doing it.😅 Love you all! Thank you from Houston, Texas! 💞
Plz share more poo stories. I laugh and laugh till I cry. Glad he only has 1 bullet in his gun. Barney Fife loves life. Maggie and Hope are so sweet and special.❤❤❤😊
It is so heartwarming to hear about their lives now so happy...the backyard breeders should be punished the full extent of the law for what these dogs have been put through...this video was so wonderful...thank you Luke and Sam for giving them the life they so deserve. Love to all❤
Watching Hope’s transformation from when she first arrived has been so amazing, so many times I caught myself saying “yea Hope!”. Also have really been enjoying your chats about the personality of each dog on their channels, love learning more about deputy Barney, bouncy Maggie, and loving Hope.
Really enjoyed the up close and personal talk on the 3 boxers. Have watched Hope from the beginning and it’s nothing short of a miracle, allowing this beautiful girl to find her own path and see where she is today! Maggie… loved her from the beginning too! She’s adorable way she understands your sign language. Love seeing how she loves to play with Luke and Miss Violet. Barney boy…. Look at him living his best life!! Such a good boy. Luke cracks me up talking about poo!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching you both speak about the dog is as entertaining as watching the dogs. The love that passes back and forth between you both and the dogs is the same love you see passing back and forth between yourselves. It is so sweet and pure. It is the Love Farm.❤️
I really love these 'personality' videos... Every dog is so unique and I love them all dearly... Thank you for sharing your lives with us, you always brighten up my day! 🥰
I’ve been waiting for something like this about the boxers. They are a joy to watch because they all appear so happy and ready for a fun time! Love them♥️
Having had boxers for 30 years, it broke my heart to see the demeanour of Hope and Faith when they arrived. It was so sad to lose Faith, but Hope seems to be thriving. Barney has the cutest face, and Maggie, well she is just a playful ray of sunshine. Love them ❤
Such a heartwarming and passionate video from Sam and Luke whose devotion and dedication to Hope, Barney and Maggie is truly inspiring. Their individual stories are unique, but they have overcome adversity to live their best lives with their adoring family. Maggie the magnificent, Barney the brave and Hope the hero are a true testimont to the love shown to all within the wonderful Evans family. Thank you Sam and Luke you are so very special. Love from UK. Xx🇬🇧❣️🙋
I love it when Maggie is jumping and Luke catches her. I totally agree with Sam that Barney has the cutest puppy face. Hope warms my heart as we have all watched her heal through the love and acceptance of a large family with strong bonds. Thank you to Luke and Sam for all you do!
Love the talk on these beautiful Boxers who started life with physical and mental challenges and now live their best life at the Farm. So grateful to Sam and Luke and happy to support them any small way that I can. Love watching the all the videos 🙏🏼❤❤❤
What is so wonderful about all these stories of the pack! Is Sam and Luke! Is they give all these pups respect,structure and guidance! Like a true pack leader ! 🐾🥰🐾🥰🏴
I still have tears in my eyes whenever I see Faith but they are quickly replaced by laughter and smiles when I see how far she has come since Faith passed. And oh Barney Fife! Have you guys looked at the Barney Fife videos on YT? If not, please do as they show the human Barney who is just as goofy as the canine! As for Maggie, what a wonderful little girl! Love to see her playing - constantly - but love seeing her dead to the world during nap time. That girl power naps and I'm jealous!!! Please keep making great videos like these as I love to see the dogs, the children and both of you as often as I can!
I love the boxers so much, each of their stories is so unique and makes me cry, I just feel so deeply for them. They’re all living their best lives and I see it in every video. Sending much love❤️to The Farm from WA State USA❣️
This is such a great idea... Giving backgrounds to the various doggos. Even though we all know and love them, to hear little things about their private lives is fascinating... Real Hollywood celebrities in the making❣️❣️❣️
Rewatching this and thinking of Faith and Barney, who, like nearly all the dogs, arrived at the Farm, and found home. Both lives were shorter than anyone wanted, but their lives once with the family - people, dogs, cats - found the home that welcomed them so freely, filled with love, and fun, and friendships. Always missed, never forgotten.
All the dogs that have arrived on the farm and been adopted needed the other dogs to help them heal, probably none more so than Faith and Hope. Faith had the last few months of her life in the company of doggy friends and feeling love for the first time. Now Hope gets to live with her friends and family forever and she has done amazingly well. All three boxers are special and have a special bond ❤❤❤
The Farm Boxing Team! My favorite bouncy boos. We have a Boxer who loves to wrestle like Maggie, but he’s about twice the size of Maggie so it’s a good workout 😂
Maggie, Hope and Barney are so beautiful together. As individuals, they are amazing. Maggie has her own special language and lives life to the full. Hope continues to grew into her best possible self, and I know she'll make it. Barney is the Boxer who won't take no for an answer and is determined to be one of the top dogs. I do love them all. Thank you for all the wonderful insights into there 3 special dogs.
Cuando amas a tus niños peludos no te importa lo que pueda ocurrir ,en tu casa y en tu vida , debido a su condición. Mi perro tuvo problemas con su intestino y había días (y noches) de sorpresa ,como le pasa a Barney. Fué el resultado de un temprano destete y mal cuidado hasta que le recogimos. Ahora no puedo cuidar animales por mi salud y agradezco el día que conocí su canal y empecé a ver publicidad de RUclips con el mayor gusto. Me encanta como son y como ocupan sus días en criar a sus hijos humanos y a sus hijos de cuatro patas. Gracias por llenar el vacío que dejaron mis queridas mascotas. Se hacen querer todos.
I love Boxers - never had one just because I didn’t have the energy for them. I think they are the most beautiful dogs there are - they have the best bodies of all dogs - they are so muscular. I love watching your three - they are so happy, so loving and so carefree. Did I say they are beautiful?!😊
I can't help but smile when I hear you talk about the trio. I was blessed to have a Boxer companion in my life for 12.5 of her just over 14 years. In that time she learned to understand what I would tell her, and eventually answered my questions with a single tap on my hand for yes, no tap meant no. I would ask her silly questions to trick her, but she was always accurate. I also taught her freedom of choice when we went for a walk. I'd tell her to lead, and she would do so with me following her. If we came to a fork in the path and she would go left, while I went to the right. I would get around 5 steps and then she raced after me, and just before she caught up to me, she would jump up and give me a double punch in the rear end. She would then head back in her original direction, look over her shoulder , and dare me to defy her again. She was allowed to visit the hospital when my Mum was suffering from kidney failure, to bring her comfort. When we needed to leave during a procedure, she brought comfort to many other patients there as well. The best thing I can say about the Boxer is that whether you know them for a minute, or their entire life, they simply want to be the best friend you could hope for, and will never stop caring for you.
When one chooses to take on the Maggies, Barnies, and Hopes of this world, acceptance is the name of the game. As Luke said, you can either Laugh or Cry. Thank you, Luke and Sam, for accepting and opening your home to these 3 beautiful creatures.💘
Amen to this Beautifully Said Comment🥰🥰🥰
Amen to that!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful words, thank you. ❣️
I’ve been following Barney and Maggie from when they were at BRNA and also donated towards Barney’s surgery. So I was over the moon when they arrived at the farm and I knew they were both home. Sweet Hope has came such a long way I found myself crying sad tears with the 1st video with her mum at how shut down they both were. But now I cry happy tears with all the milestone Hope is making. ❤❤❤
Thank you. 😊
Thank you very much for donating towards our Barney’s surgery before he arrived at the farm … we’re very grateful 🙏
@@BarneyMaggieAndHopeTheBoxers I’m just happy that I can watch Barney living his best life ❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully, BRNA puts this video on their channel so that their subs can be networked. As Sam pointed out the other day that less than 20% of commenters, I believe, are from Australia which reduces the number of potential adopters.
Thank you for helping Barney Boy before his Farm days! ❤️🐾
The video of Luke kneeling on the ground next to Hope when she and her Mom arrived at the farm is forever burned into my memory. It almost brought tears to my eyes. Her Mom's battle with cancer did bring me to tears. Hope is a favorite of mine.
Burned into my memory also. Oh what joy from how far Hope has come! ❤

Yep holding back tears right now... Trying to focus on all the good things she's doing..... But yes her mama is gut wrenching for me as well..
just reading these comments has made a tear run down my cheek.
i think this has affected all members of the farm community.

What's really upsetting is I think that breeder is still operating.
Agree
I wonder what punishment these ghastly breeders get? In UK there's a trend for exposing people guilty of animal cruelty online to shame them.
Rona that is a brilliant idea. Unfortunately we dont have a great conviction rate across the Irish Sea here in Northern Ireland. Our rules are very sketchy over here when any one have been discovered. ❤
I've been lucky enough to have boxers all my life, they are the best. I've never known a bad boxer, mad but not bad. I just don't understand how these backyard breeders get away with it, they should be locked up.
As a boxer owner I couldn’t click on this soon enough. I remember each of their first day coming to the farm, Barney weak from his ailments and being caged, thin and needing time to build strength. Maggie came in like a wrecking ball, exuberant and bouncy, and poor Hope, the most shut down dog I personally have ever seen. I use her tail to gauge how she is and i had never seen a tail that firmly down and between her legs. I have laughed and cried along their journeys and what a long way they have come🐾💕💕🐾 😂😂😂’Poo? Yea mate” had me rolling!😂😂😂
Completely agree 💯. I just adore them - yes both two and four legs. Luke had me cracking up .. poo talk n reality checks, yup 👍🏾
The look on his face when he started to run on the farm. He was so happy and realized he had hit the jackpot
@@bellabonnie3141 So true! My boxer girl looks like Barney’s twin! Deputy Barney cracks me up every time!

It's so heartwarming how Hope is learning to be the true boxer she was always meant to be, with teachers handsome Barney Boy and beautiful Maggie Girl. Better teachers there could not be, save for Momma Faith, who I'm sure is grateful for these two Farm stars taking her sweet Hope under their tutelage. 💞🐾💞
…and Bandit….lots of BBE (Big Boxer Energy) at the Farm.

For the nappy fund.
Thank you Dru you are always so generous and supportive 😊 and us follows get the joy 🤩
Bless you!! I'm so inspired by your generosity 🙏
Thank you Dru ❤️❤️🙏
What a kind ,thoughtful lady you are, Dru! Xx👍🙂🙋🏼👋🏻
Thank you ❤️
It’s great to see Hope so confident and enjoying life. Maggie is such a happy girl. And Barney is a sweetheart. Three amazing Boxers.
I really enjoyed watching the Boxer Video - so nice to see Luke and Sam reviewing how Maggie, Barney, and Hope came to the Farm - Thanks so much for sharing - Love , Hugs, and Blessings to All ❤❤❤❤
I agree.
It is so easy to forget the past lives of all the pack. They have all (except Cutie Pie) been rejected, abandoned, traumatised or in Tilly’s case lost human mum tragically. You took in dogs that no one else wanted and have given them such an amazing life. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Mvi 🙏❤️
I totally agree with this so true statement 🥰🥰

I am so happy and grateful that you adopted Barney, Maggie, Hope and Faith to give them a forever home in your Family. It is awesome to see them living their best lives. I love all dogs, but as a boxer mum boxers have a special place in my heart. ❤❤❤❤
In my heart too. Boxers have a “puppy spirit” until the day they cross the rainbow bridge.♥️
@@jeanhurley9844 So true ❤
I adore watching all three of them trying to get Luke’s attention when they are ready to get in the pool, and then seeing how proud they are for those special moments.
Hi Barney, Maggie and Hope, your mom and dad gave a beautiful talk about you three and it was so wonderful. You three are such special pooches Barney you’re a loveable goof, Maggie, your special uptown, gal who always has it going on and Hope you have an amazing spirit. Love you all.❤❤❤
Love Maggie, Hope and Barney. They are each so special in their own way.
Listening to you both you can actually feel the love and passion you have for each and everyone Hope Maggie Barney ⭐❤⭐. Faith forever a Farm dog 💜🙏🙏🙏
As a boxer mum I loved this video and I always look for them in the videos ❤ I followed Barney and Maggie’s story on boxer rescue and that is where I found out about the farm. Thank you for giving these 3 beautiful boxers a wonderful loving home ❤
Btw. I’d love to watch a video of Luke and Sam talking about Barney to a classroom of 5-7 year old kids. They would break out in hysterical laughter over all the poo 💩 talk. 😂😂
The squirting poo is definitely a kids book. Barney the super hero dog who fights crime by squirting the baddies with poop.
@@yolernlimn3574 oh that is hilarious 🤣🤣🙌🏻
@@yolernlimn3574 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh so true.. I use to teach 3graders and at some point poo and farts would come up . I had 2great books that I would read “Everybody Farts and Everybody Poops”. Oh the giggles were so much fun.
I’m laughing so hard my sides hurt listening to the Barney poo stories especially the poo by poo story of Barney walking all over the house w/o nappy.😂😂😂😂
Sam and Luke and the kids and the dogs... What a wonderful family.
Each dog is an example of the love, care and rich environment they’ve been given to thrive. Their sad pasts are that now, past. The Farm helps to ease off their burdens.
Each dog in your care has realized their potential or working on achieving it.
And us followers are over the moon that we get to witness these creatures halting or small steps or leaps towards their best lives.
Thank you Luke, Sam, the Staff, Dee, Jason, Adam and all the people who assist in making all of this possible. ❤❤❤❤🐕🐕🦺🐈⬛ 🐶
Amen to this Beautiful Comment🥰🥰🥰
Love a Boxer personality !!!! Such unique doggo traits. Makes me miss Bandit even more !!!!!❤❤❤
I cried during the intro of Faith & Hope cuz I was so used to see Bandits love of life being so great. To see Faith and Hope and thinking of that being done to such a great dog like Bandit. I still cry if Im rewatching those videos.
Bandit set the standard for all boxers i see and meet.
@@karl-niclas_burner Absolutely!
Beautiful bouncy biggish boxers! My love affair with boxers started with the brilliantly bountiful & beloved Bandit who represents his breed beautifully, which these 3 lived up to every day. My familiarity with poo happily continues with Luke's reporting of such incidences with such aplomb & honesty - as said if one doesn't poo, one dies🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰. Thank you, Luke & and Sam, for welcoming & loving these sweeties to the Farm & giving them the best potential for living their best boxer life.
Excellent post for those members/subscribers who are new to this channel!! Luke and Sam are awesome spokespeople for the dogs at the Farm!! I have grown to love Boxers because of your channel!! First, with Bandit Boy ( miss him!!!) and now these 3 Boxer Characters!! ❤️🐕🐕🐕❤️❤️
I don’t forget the Beautiful Faith whom we lost…😢❤
Look at you two Proud Boxer Parents!! 👏🥹🥰
It's so sweet to see you gush and share about your tough as nails Boxers.
What a fabulously special Trio 🐾
They are each absolutely beautiful!!
Laughed and cried through this whole video. Three very special differently abled cute bouncy boxers living their best lives. Your future’s so bright you’ve gotta wear shades 😎
Maggie 🤍Hope 💝Barney 🤎
Boxers are the most beautiful dogs! Their faces are SO expressive and they really are clowns as puppies!! Hope has come such a long way and to see her coming up to humans for pats and cuddles is a wonderful testament to time healing and all your love and care.
For their salmon and sunscreen fund!
Thank you ❤️🙏
Aw thank you ❤️
THANK YOU so much, Leo.
May you & Yours stay ever Blessed 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
Thank you LOTS, Keo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is a beautiful video! Y’all’s love for these awesome Boxers is so evident! Each one is so special and unique! I love them loads!❤️❤️🐾🐾
I love this Chanel…Maggie is such a mental chick who loves life and loves annoying the others. This never fails to crack me up and I love how annoyed she gets in her mind. Hope…we’ll where do I start…the poster girl for rehab really but she is just so special and it is wonderful to see her progress and personality. Barney, the wannabe tough guy, who knows he’s tough, but no one else does. My fave video was when Barney was trying to enforce the law with Maggie, Ms Violet and Shadow. Maggie got annoyed by his intervention and chased him away at top speed…😆❤️
Loved the focus on my favorite breed, Boxers, and especially on my secret crush, Barney. I am glad you answered the question about how it works when Barney goes into the pool.....I have been wondering that for the longest time. Each of the Boxers are unique in their own way, and have had amazing life's journeys already in their young lives. But their best lives began when they came to the Farm where their physical and emotional needs were catered to, and their souls learned the true meaning of love. They each became valued members of a pack of dogs and beloved members of a very special family of humans. It has been pure pleasure watching them grow and mature and I look forward to see them as they develop into adulthood. Thank you for adopting and loving these beautiful dogs.
This was a beautiful video and it showed the passion you both have for these “misfits”, and now look at them. Your love for these special dogs is so lovely. Barney is such a nosy poke, and true the nappy is not helping his play for deputy with Freddo and Roscoe, Maggie is a bouncy joy, and Hope is a sweetheart finding her true self. You two really finish each other’s sentences, so cute. 😊❤
Hugs and kisses for all three of these Boxes, who have all three come from different backgrounds and differences to overcome. ❤❤❤
The Wonder Dogs: Hope,Maggie and Barney.🤗🤗🤗
"nobody puts Maggie in the corner"... well, my old butt thinks of Dirty dancing, is it just me? 😂😁🕺💃
I thought of that, too!😂
Such an interesting talk! Sam and Luke are so kind and knowledgeable! Love the Kellogg cardboard badge comment - so Australian.😅
Hope, Barney and Maggie each had thier own journey to The Farm. Hope is slowly becoming the beautiful wonderful girl she was born to be. Barney so darn cute in his camo jammies. He is trying so hard to be top dog, not gonna happen that's Freddos job. Maggie so pretty , such a good girl. She loves Miss Violet. I have said it before and will say it again The Farm is a healing place. And talking about bowel habits, takes me back to my CNA days
So heartwarming to see these precious Boxers living their best lives..everyone needs a boxer or 3 in their lives xx
Thank you for this most loving talk about the 3 boxers. Your love for them palpable. They are indeed special, well as all these dogs are. I could listen to you both talking about your family of dogs forever. Bless you.
Oh this trio of Boxers!! What a joy they all are. From sweet girl Hope and her terrible situation and then loosing her Mum and then finally coming out and loving all her brothers, sisters, her Mum Sam, Dad Luke and now her little humans. Sending her extra cuddles and love. Then the beautiful Maggie and the amazing new language she learned at the Farm to communicate. BRAVO Maggie!!! Your sisters and brothers love you and your family too. Oh Barney boy you will always have that baby face put you a wonderful, wonderful boy. You are following with the big boys Freddo and Rosco and now Lilly to you have your place and job and you are so special. Sending love from San Diego. Hugs to all the Boxers and one to Bandit too. We sure miss that boy and hope he is well. 💜🤍💙 ❤❤❤❤❤
Hope has made leaps and bounds. When she came it was she just wanted to make herself as small as possible. Now she open up ears are perky and bouncing around. Maggie is a comidian. Barney is a chiller.
Loved this chat about Maggie, Hope & Barney!! I love their individual personalities. ❤❤❤
Bless Barney he is a character. In fact Maggie and Hope are characters too. I love them all. These dogs obviously love you back. I truly enjoy them and look forward to more posts. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
hope is really living her best life
I've learnt so much about Boxers since 2020, when I came across your channel. Have watched their stories and have gone from not particularly liking Boxers to realising what bundles of bouncing fun & love they are. Owners do have to channel that abundant bounce and inquisitive mind though or they lead themselves astray. Love Maggie, Hope & Barney but it all started with Bandit the beautiful. Bandit showed me what a fabulous breed they are. If I ever come back in a new life, I want to live life as Bandit! That lad has the best life ever. He is such an amazing boy. I see the same elements in your three boxers. I was devastated to see the condition of Faith & Hope when they first came to the farm. I cried to see how terrified & shutdown they were. Hope has come soooo far. These Boxers have a fabulous life - actually life on the farm, as any of the dog's or cat, would be bliss.
Thanks
Thank you ❤️
That's very kind, thank you ❤
Thank you a ton, Martin.
May you & Yours ever Prosper. 🙏🌹
Thank you so much Martin.🎉🎉
They’re all wonderful
Hope and Faith stole my heart the day they arrived. When Luke picked her up and carried her I knew things would be alright in time. To allow her and Faith to progress at their own speed has made such a difference. Now seeing Hope's twinkling eyes and full boxer grin is so heartwarming. And Sam is Hope's special person. Thank you both for giving Hope the time she needs.
Who wouldn't love all 3 of them they are all super endearing in their own particular way. I have had dogs as shut down as Faith and Hope and it's absolutely devastating to me to see those tell tail signs in any other dog. So I definitely appreciate the journey as well as how happy and secure and full of life she is these days. God love her, more than any other dog she deserves the best.
Love watching this trio having the best lives, being so happy and well adjusted to each other and the pack, is truly wonderful to see.
When you think back what their lives were like before The Farm, it's not easy. Hope, Maggie, and Barney are in the best home anyone could wish for, and their personalities shine through their everything they do. 💙❤❤
I loved the video when he pooped everywhere. All of a sudden we hear a scratch at the door. Who is it? MR. BANDIT. Then Luke and Sam says "you can't come in, it's not safe in here". Bandit had a look on his face like what, he didn't poop on my chair did he. There's poop everywhere. I laughed so hard
I think that is exactly what Bandit said along with some choice expletives😅
Love conquers all. Great dogs in a great family.
Wow beautiful beautiful stories of Hope, Maggie and Barney. Sad starting but happy happy ending. Living best of fun loving beautiful life. Thank you Luke and Sam for all you do for every fur babies in your care 😇😇😇. God bless you and God watch over you and your family 🙏🙏🙏. Beautiful Faith is in heaven watching over Hope and everyone. She is in peace knowing how wonderful life Hope is living🙏🙏🙏. Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸
3 beautiful boxers. They are such wonderful family dogs. I can't help but think of Bandit every time I see them, especially Hope. Sure hope Bandit is doing well and that he may come to the farm for a visit soon.
I was wondering about Bandit too. I miss seeing the videos of him and I love these three boxers.
Me, too! I'd love to see him teach them how to really be boxers! Any chance of that?🙏
To Luke & Sam:
I found your Channel(s) last year, and have fallen in love with you all! I had to take a small break, but then I came back and found out you adopted my favorite breed ever...X4! 🎉 (now 3, I know😢).
Request: shorts of them doing the most goofy boxer stuff 🙏
*Someday soon, I hope, it will be within my Financial ability to Subscribe* In the meantime, I share the videos with as many people as will tolerate me doing it.😅 Love you all! Thank you from Houston, Texas! 💞
I love each one of these Boxers soooo much. It makes my heart happy that they are living the best life ever.
Plz share more poo stories. I laugh and laugh till I cry. Glad he only has 1 bullet in his gun. Barney Fife loves life. Maggie and Hope are so sweet and special.❤❤❤😊
😂👏🏻👏🏻🧡
I thought of Barney Fife, too! 😂
It is so heartwarming to hear about their lives now so happy...the backyard breeders should be punished the full extent of the law for what these dogs have been put through...this video was so wonderful...thank you Luke and Sam for giving them the life they so deserve. Love to all❤
Watching Hope’s transformation from when she first arrived has been so amazing, so many times I caught myself saying “yea Hope!”. Also have really been enjoying your chats about the personality of each dog on their channels, love learning more about deputy Barney, bouncy Maggie, and loving Hope.
Really enjoyed the up close and personal talk on the 3 boxers. Have watched Hope from the beginning and it’s nothing short of a miracle, allowing this beautiful girl to find her own path and see where she is today! Maggie… loved her from the beginning too! She’s adorable way she understands your sign language. Love seeing how she loves to play with Luke and Miss Violet. Barney boy…. Look at him living his best life!! Such a good boy. Luke cracks me up talking about poo!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching you both speak about the dog is as entertaining as watching the dogs. The love that passes back and forth between you both and the dogs is the same love you see passing back and forth between yourselves. It is so sweet and pure. It is the Love Farm.❤️
I really love these 'personality' videos... Every dog is so unique and I love them all dearly... Thank you for sharing your lives with us, you always brighten up my day! 🥰
So glad you’re enjoying them.
It's g8 hearing the journey an stories of our 3 beautiful boxers they have come sooo far Luke an Sam because of your massive unconditional love. 💯💥💚💛
I’ve been waiting for something like this about the boxers. They are a joy to watch because they all appear so happy and ready for a fun time! Love them♥️
Having had boxers for 30 years, it broke my heart to see the demeanour of Hope and Faith when they arrived. It was so sad to lose Faith, but Hope seems to be thriving. Barney has the cutest face, and Maggie, well she is just a playful ray of sunshine. Love them ❤
Such a heartwarming and passionate video from Sam and Luke whose devotion and dedication to Hope, Barney and Maggie is truly inspiring. Their individual stories are unique, but they have overcome adversity to live their best lives with their adoring family. Maggie the magnificent, Barney the brave and Hope the hero are a true testimont to the love shown to all within the wonderful Evans family. Thank you Sam and Luke you are so very special. Love from UK. Xx🇬🇧❣️🙋
I love it when Maggie is jumping and Luke catches her. I totally agree with Sam that Barney has the cutest puppy face. Hope warms my heart as we have all watched her heal through the love and acceptance of a large family with strong bonds. Thank you to Luke and Sam for all you do!
Love the talk on these beautiful Boxers who started life with physical and mental challenges and now live their best life at the Farm. So grateful to Sam and Luke and happy to support them any small way that I can. Love watching the all the videos 🙏🏼❤❤❤
Barney is like Barney Fife. 🥰
What is so wonderful about all these stories of the pack! Is Sam and Luke! Is they give all these pups respect,structure and guidance! Like a true pack leader ! 🐾🥰🐾🥰🏴
Loved this video and yes Maggie, Hope and Barney are living their best lives because of your big heart Sam and Luke ♥️
I still have tears in my eyes whenever I see Faith but they are quickly replaced by laughter and smiles when I see how far she has come since Faith passed. And oh Barney Fife! Have you guys looked at the Barney Fife videos on YT? If not, please do as they show the human Barney who is just as goofy as the canine! As for Maggie, what a wonderful little girl! Love to see her playing - constantly - but love seeing her dead to the world during nap time. That girl power naps and I'm jealous!!! Please keep making great videos like these as I love to see the dogs, the children and both of you as often as I can!
I love the boxers so much, each of their stories is so unique and makes me cry, I just feel so deeply for them. They’re all living their best lives and I see it in every video. Sending much love❤️to The Farm from WA State USA❣️
This is such a great idea... Giving backgrounds to the various doggos. Even though we all know and love them, to hear little things about their private lives is fascinating... Real Hollywood celebrities in the making❣️❣️❣️
I love Maggie, Hope & Barney, they are so fun to watch playing together and with the other dogs.❤❤❤
I love love love these videos. All the pups are so important in our lives and it's wonderful to learn more about each dog 💛💛💛 thanks Sam and Luke.
Their stories are so heartwarming. Only because the ending is the best. They are living their best lives. We love them ALL
LOL!!!!! You guys are too cute talking about the boxers. Love it ! Thank you for the insight.
Rewatching this and thinking of Faith and Barney, who, like nearly all the dogs, arrived at the Farm, and found home. Both lives were shorter than anyone wanted, but their lives once with the family - people, dogs, cats - found the home that welcomed them so freely, filled with love, and fun, and friendships. Always missed, never forgotten.
Can't wait to watch this!! I love the boxers. 😍😍😍
🇬🇧. I especially love the Hope sad / happy story! Doesn't everyone just love Boxers 😄❤️❤️xx
Beautiful video!!!
Thanks Luke and Sam☺️
All the dogs that have arrived on the farm and been adopted needed the other dogs to help them heal, probably none more so than Faith and Hope. Faith had the last few months of her life in the company of doggy friends and feeling love for the first time. Now Hope gets to live with her friends and family forever and she has done amazingly well. All three boxers are special and have a special bond ❤❤❤
Love all three of them. They each have such different characters, and they are amazing in their own way. ♥♥♥
Ahh, the boxers! My heart.
I think you love your boxers! That was such a funny, loving video. ❤
The Farm Boxing Team! My favorite bouncy boos. We have a Boxer who loves to wrestle like Maggie, but he’s about twice the size of Maggie so it’s a good workout 😂
Love those three! And they ARE, living their best lives (along with everyone else)❤
I love these conversations so much!!! Thank you! 💗💖💜
Barney, Maggie, Hope are heart-stealers!!! It has been such a pleasure to watch their journeys. Sending them many pats and much, much love.
Maggie, Hope and Barney are so beautiful together. As individuals, they are amazing. Maggie has her own special language and lives life to the full. Hope continues to grew into her best possible self, and I know she'll make it. Barney is the Boxer who won't take no for an answer and is determined to be one of the top dogs. I do love them all. Thank you for all the wonderful insights into there 3 special dogs.
Sweet boxers. I love to watch them go...each special in their own ways. Kudos Sam n Luke
Cuando amas a tus niños peludos no te importa lo que pueda ocurrir ,en tu casa y en tu vida , debido a su condición.
Mi perro tuvo problemas con su intestino y había días (y noches) de sorpresa ,como le pasa a Barney. Fué el resultado de un temprano destete y mal cuidado hasta que le recogimos.
Ahora no puedo cuidar animales por mi salud y agradezco el día que conocí su canal y empecé a ver publicidad de RUclips con el mayor gusto.
Me encanta como son y como ocupan sus días en criar a sus hijos humanos y a sus hijos de cuatro patas.
Gracias por llenar el vacío que dejaron mis queridas mascotas.
Se hacen querer todos.
That wonderful boxer magic x 3. ❤
I love Boxers - never had one just because I didn’t have the energy for them. I think they are the most beautiful dogs there are - they have the best bodies of all dogs - they are so muscular. I love watching your three - they are so happy, so loving and so carefree. Did I say they are beautiful?!😊
Love these 3 boxers!!❤❤❤
I love their beautiful faces! They're so adorable! 🤍💙🤎
I hope people in boxer networks will share this video to build up subscribers it’s a very beautiful story for all three and deserves to be shared
Love these videos giving insight of each personality.!!
I can't help but smile when I hear you talk about the trio. I was blessed to have a Boxer companion in my life for 12.5 of her just over 14 years. In that time she learned to understand what I would tell her, and eventually answered my questions with a single tap on my hand for yes, no tap meant no. I would ask her silly questions to trick her, but she was always accurate. I also taught her freedom of choice when we went for a walk. I'd tell her to lead, and she would do so with me following her. If we came to a fork in the path and she would go left, while I went to the right. I would get around 5 steps and then she raced after me, and just before she caught up to me, she would jump up and give me a double punch in the rear end. She would then head back in her original direction, look over her shoulder , and dare me to defy her again. She was allowed to visit the hospital when my Mum was suffering from kidney failure, to bring her comfort. When we needed to leave during a procedure, she brought comfort to many other patients there as well. The best thing I can say about the Boxer is that whether you know them for a minute, or their entire life, they simply want to be the best friend you could hope for, and will never stop caring for you.
"a double punch in the rear end" and "date me to defy her again" 🤣
