Tough decision on our herding border collie June and a new face on the farm

- We made a tough decision w our border collie June. She has excellent abilities as a stockdog / herding dog and deserves to be given a shot at the big leagues in trialing.
Also meet Dex! He is highly trialed and proven finished working border collie from the same trainer. He was the 2022 Southwest Cattledog Assoc. National futurity reserve champion along w other placements. So excited to see what he will do here.
Thank you for loving June enough to be free to reach her potential.
June doesn’t care about awards. She just wants to be with her family doing what she was literally born to do.
I live in a large city... there are too many border collies here, forced into a live of being pets. Some owners really do their best to exercise them etc., but imo nothing beats real work, a dog knows the difference, too.
That is very sad,weirdkauz,& a TED talk idiot suggested when these very active outdoor breeds can't adjust to metro confinement they need to go to a therapist.Now you know what I mean by a TED talk idiot.They don't understand working dogs like Borders,LGD's,etc.& actually think the dogs are in need of adjustment to metro with the help of a therapist😮
@@Weirdkauz I live in Colorado suburbia. My neighbor was sweet enough to let my border collie herd her four children. There was no teaching him to do it; he knew exactly what to do! We were in the front yard one day, and her toddler ran towards the street as a large truck was heading the same way. Scout ran after the kid, grabbed the shoulder of her shirt, and moved her right back into her "pack" of siblings. My neighbor cried happy tears as she hugged my dog and brought him over a raw steak later on that day. I had my boy for 14 years, even training him for service dog work to assist me with my disability. You are correct: a happy border collie has to balance their work and play life! Scout left me 8 years ago. I've had Akitas, Labs, a Newfoundland, Great Danes, and a Doberman-- none matched the intelligence, situational awareness, and devotion of a border collie.

Pretty bold of you to refer to the ranch manager as a mere cat. I’m sure Luna will address the matter. Good luck to June in training and Dex looks at home already
I anticipate a written warning. 😊
@@gossamerabbaLOL!!!!!
@@gossamerabbaHmmm...."written warning". I guess throwing paws is the kitty version of written. Just a little skippity pap for the irreverent hoomans. 😸😸😸
😂 That was Awesome, thank You for the laugh I needed it 😂
@@Sheebs981 a little revenge for the "booping" habit we humans have... 👆
Champions only come along every so often. June has a natural skill and it would be hard not to make her the best she can be. Many dog lovers will not understand how you could do that but many dog lovers don’t have working breeds that actually do work that they were bred for. All of my Goldens instinctively retrieve even a young as 8 weeks but they could never do Junes job even close to as well as she does no matter how much they were trained. I love watching your videos and I honestly thought “Oh no” when it popped up. So glad it was not bad news. ❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾
Same here. When June is done with trials and maxing her potential, I hope she returns to the farm and hangs out with her friends
I'll miss June. Glad your going to keep us updated. Best wishes to June I know she will do great things. ❤
Thank you letting us know. Welcome, Dex! Good Luck, June!
I would bet the dog could not be any happier. They live for herding.
Wow, Dex is gorgeous...Congrats on your decision on June. She's going to really shine, for sure!!! Congrats all around...Just love your farm and updates on the animals!!!!
Great decision to send June back to complete her training! She’s remarkable now, can’t even begin to imagine how she’s gonna be after completing her jedi master training 🥰 Dex is a handsome fella. What a great addition to the team 👍😎
Good luck, June. Make us proud!
Welcome Home Dex, and Godspeed June ❤🐾 🙏
Junes going places!
I love that you’ve allowed June to be all that she could & was meant to be. We will miss her. Dex looks very happy to be on the farm and it’ll be fun to see him get settled in with the other dogs! ❤
That takes a lot to turn your beloved pet over for months at a time for them to thrive and become a ambassador for the breed ❤
June has beautiful markings. Those border collies sure get a leg work out.
Awww🎉🎉🎉 Go June! Dex is Gorgeous!!!!
I love Ju e and realize how Rare her wonderful Talents are. YOU will always have a Home for her. Dax seems wonderful. Hugs to whole family.
All of your dogs are so perfect ❤ good luck to precious June !! 🎉
That's AWESOME ❤️😍 GO June 🙌
Amazing choices! Can't wait to see how far June goes. Letting her develop to the full extent of her capabilities truly does show how much you understand and love your working dogs ❤
The border collie is a fantastic creature ❤❤
June is destined for greatness. Can't wait to see her shine. We're all rooting for you, June!
love june and dex. they are excellent choice to your ranch. thanks for sharing your family... i luv them
Be well sweet June 🙏.
She is incredibly talented. Good luck June ❤
What a huge decision for you regarding the talented June. The fact that she hasn’t yet fully realized her absolute potential is awe inspiring. I think I would do the same, bc to know that June’s potential is in the top 10% of trial challenges and training for her breed is exciting!
It is also a testament to Raventree Ranch recognizing her abilities as a young puppy and encouraging her to develop and build on her natural potential by respecting June, guiding June, loving June and giving her the best start in life.
I m eager to watch Dex integrate into the Ranch family of the 3 LGDs, Luna the Recon cat, and the backup team of Pete and puppy, Steam. I m sure it will all work out well. I will enjoy every update on June and her successes. It is exciting times at Raventree Ranch in the canine aspects. 🥰❤️🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🐕🦺🐕🐈⬛❤️
Wow, such exciting news!
Best of luck, June - we'll be rooting for you.
Welcome, Dex - you've just joined a fantastic (and very extended 😊) family.
Parenting love is giving them the opportunity to achieve and grow, to become the best they can be, no matter how it tugs at your heartstrings. June is so lucky to have you as parents. 💞
Best wishes for June!! I am glad that you are helping her reach her potential!! A very intelligent border collie!! They are amazing to watch! Dex looks like he will be a good fit for the ranch. 😊
That is no surprise. June is amazing to watch. I think it is wonderful that you are allowing her to reach her full potential. Can't wait to see more of her amazing work. Welcome Dex!
I understand it was such a difficult decision to send June back for more training and trials. June will make you proud. Dex is a cutie, and looks like he'll fit right in with the guardians and livestock.
Bless you for make such a great decision for June watching June at the farm you can see she wasn’t able to do want every bone in her body was begging her to do it would be like putting Bo in a tiny little apartment and telling him to be happy Bless you for making such a unselfish and amazing decision for sweet June 🙏
I have enjoyed watching Junebug grow and mature. So glad you see her potential and have decided to let her reach her maximum . Beings like her only come around ever so often. I think Hodges cattle company made a mistake in selling her. Go Junebug let them see what they missed out on. You've got it all together. Lets see some Raintree blue ribbons evervwhere.❤❤❤ please keep videos coming and us informed, you are so lucky to have her and Chance , and now one of their boarder collies.
I so hope June will continue to learn, grow and excel as a top herding dog. I can’t imagine how hard it is to let her go back to “school”, but it’s exciting to see what she can do with more training. I will continue to eagerly watch the story unfold. Welcome, to the new boy, Dex.
June looks great! Very exciting! Thank you for sharing about her❣️ Such a joyous beginning to a new year 🤗🥰
June is striking. Love that look.
That's so lovely that you care about your dogs reaching their full potential. Very thoughtful of you.
I look forward to the updates on June, I've no doubt she's going to be a star! ⭐️ Hello Dex, can't wait to get to know you!
Aw. I am sad for you but very happy for June. I bet she is going to love it. Dex is a lucky dog...he will get to be part of an amazing pack/family. Shit, in my my next life I want to come back as part of Bo and Lily's pack... 💫💥
Also, that shot of all three LGDs behind the fence is adorable.
Dex is gorgeous. You did the right things with June.
Gorgeous dogs ❤❤❤❤
Good Luck June will miss you and Welcome to Dex you can’t beat the truly awesome family that you are with now Lily and Bo the gang I know will teach you all the ropes!❤❤❤❤
As tough as it was for all of you, I'm so excited for June. She just has that border collie rizz to infinity and waaaaaay beyond.
Dex is positively remarkable. His form is absolutely perfect. And his and June's trainer clearly is brilliant at his job.
I think this tough decision is going turn into some massive wins for all parties involved.
So happy for you all!
You did the right thing she’s incredibly clever working dog her mind needs this she’s very much loved and she’s doing what she loves best ❤
Best wishes to June! It was a tough decision, but June seems to be a true Champion! All the best to you!

It was so plain to see just how talented June was when you first got her. I’m so happy to hear you are going to let her reach her full potential at something she so obviously loves! That takes so much love and generosity of spirit on your part! 🥰💗🐶🐾
You love them so much! ❤️ I love every update and I am NOT ashamed to tell you that I cry! ❤️ I love seeing them! ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your babies! ❤️
Looks like she's a rising star can't wait to get updates on her progress! ❤
Watching June work is incredible! I can see why you made the tough decision, but she is amazing!
I love that you make the best decision for June.
Congratulations to all of you!! Wish y'all much success!
You must be so proud. Congratulations & good luck.
I love that June can pursue her dream career with full support of her family ❤
Good luck June ! She is amazing. Hello Dex I know he will do well at your ranch.
You are doing what is BEST for JUNE which is amazing! ❤ Putting your feelings aside and letting her flourish and do what she is bred to do! Never listen to the ones that are projecting their human emotions on to June! They are not seeing it from a working dog perspective!! Go get them June 👏 🐕❤
I meant to say I noticed in a few videos she was always switched on for work even when not needed! It was like she was ready to go 😊😊
Y’all are such good people. Gonna miss the amazing June. Maybe we can find out to keep up with her during trials. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know you are doing the best for them when you have to make the decision on what's best for THEM. Congratulations!
I could tell how she wanted to work and all the other dogs were playing. She will be happier with her training to reach her highest potential. I'm sure it was very hard to let her go; because she is a marvelous dog.
Best of luck to June and welcome Dex. Look forward to the updates
What a marvelous family!!!
June will shine in any environment where she can do what she was born to do ❤❤❤ For you to love her enough to let her go shows just how wonderful Raventree is and the whole thing is all the animals there are loved 🥰
Welcome to December, looking sweet and loving 💕💞😍💖
This is awesome to witness. What incredible things we can accomplish with animals
Love your team, thanks for sharing. I learn a lot from you!
WOW! That is amazing news about June. I look forward to hearing updates on her trialing. Dex looks as if he will fit in well with the group. Border collies and LGDs are such amazing working breeds doing separate jobs.
Go June, go!!🎉 June will be a champion.
AWWW I totally understand, cos JUNE is AN AMAZINGLY talented pup!
I admire your desire to do what JUNE will LOVE!
I bet she's gonna be LEGENDARY!
Can't wait to see her grow and shine.

When your dogs blend in with the stock. All of your dogs are smart and fun to watch. They get along great together too.
im excited to see what june can do!!
Love Dex! Nothing gets by those eyes! He sees everything and responds accordingly!
Ohhh, this must have been such a hard decision. I feel for you. If it helps at all, I've found in my life that when these decisions are made with the other person/pet's best interest at heart I haven't regretted it. Good luck and looking forward to seeing all that June is able to accomplish.❤
Thanks for the update, it’s very interesting to learn about your ranch operation.
I will so miss our June. Such a tough decision, but you made the right one to help her achieve her potential. If you had kept her on the ranch you might have had regrets and wondered, "what if?" Welcome to Dex, can't wait to meet him.
I was wondering about June. She really does stand out even among all your other very fine dogs. Best of luck to her and you folks and welcome to Dex 🎉🍻
Beautiful 🤩 thank you for sharing 🙏. Be well sweet June 🙏.
Wow! Go June! Achieve you fullest potential! 🤩
She is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I knew from her 1st video...thank you ❤
I rescued a great Pyrenees she is 3 we are her 5th and final home , I marvel at how smart she is and her instincts to herd and protect is amazing. How she approaches the different threats and adapts to their size and how she takes control instantly..in complete control and her barking changes instantly to what she's dealing with. I have enjoyed watching your dogs and how they do their job learning more about these brilliant animals
I don't know anything about herding dogs or their training, but from the videos alone, even I can tell June is amazing and I'm sure she'll be great with the new training she already seems to love her work at your farm.
June is going to be awesome. Dex is a beautiful dog.
Wow, how awesome for June!! Welcome to Dex!!
Wow. Never heard of such a thing! What a generous selfless act! I hope June doesn’t forget you guys! Let’s go Dex!!!
Fascinating and wonderful!
You made the right decision June is impeccable to his craft of herding. June is a champion. Congrats on her first trial!!😂
June is a Star ⭐
How wonderful for all of you.
Good luck June. You beautiful girl ❤.
Darn, gives a different meaning to the saying, "if you love something, let it go..." awesome farm owners.
So exciting, can't wait to hear about June and to see dex meet Lilly bo and judge. I also love the video you described what the lgds were doing when the alpacas were distressed calling. Your animal family is so amazing. Commentary is spot on. Thanks for sharing
i have been following the guardians on instagram and here on shorts...great to hear see your border collies!
Yay for June! That's wonderful news! While she will be missed, recognizing her talent and wanting her to be her best is truly indicative of your loving heart. That's awesome of you to allow her to be her best! Congratulations!
All i know is that i love watching your dogs in action, especially when they creep so low on the ground to the right to the left... Oh of course, love your ranch manager as much!
Welcome Dex! ❤
GO FOTH AND CONQUER, JUNE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Both June and Dex as amazing.
Great Champion 🏆 awaits 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sure June will have a great time and she'll have lots of stories to tell her friends when she returns.
She missed everyone and everyone missed her. I hope you will be able to visit her often
I am so excited to see updates on June. I know that was a tough decision and a decision made out of love. When a dog has that natural instinct in them, they have so much potential! It will be an awesome journey to follow along with. And Dex is soooo cute! 🥺
This explains so much. I missed this when first posted.
Allowing June do to what she loves and excels at is a sacrifice for you I’m sure, but her potential seems limitless now.
And Pete is just your classic average border collie that is happy to be on team Avengers and amuse us with his antics. Love Pete 😊
She's amazing ❤
Thank you for these informative videos. I plan on having livestock and herding dogs as well. Cheers.
