Hi guys, I am Alex.
I am an Ukrainian expat who moved to Portugal.
No one in my family ever did any farming, But I discovered that I am very passionate about farming so recently I've purchased this 28 hectares Farm in Central Portugal, with the intention to start a small scale farm raising worms, cattle and sheep.
In this little farm I am also planning to build an off grid home, and be as self sufficient as possible, by growing my own food.
I created this channel to share my journey with the world, The journey of a first generation farmer, that is starting with no prior knowledge and experiences.
That maybe all the mistakes that I will make along this journey, and all the fails maybe will help some of you to learn from my mistake and not make them yourself.
I want to bring value and inspire people who are thinking about farming.
I am not a filmmaker or an editor, I am just a simple guy with a camera.

A good caring video, thank you for sharing. Hope you find a solution for the dog and Angela. Am sorry your old pet dog died, pets become part of the family and it hurts us when they die.
Slowly slowly , softly softly … good luck to all .
I am sorry to hear that you lost your dog, I know how that feels after mine also passed at the age of 15. It's hard to deal with, but, I take comfort in knowing that we gave her an amazing life and she left when she was ready to go over the rainbow bridge. - As for you other dog going to the farm, have you considered building a large open air enclosure for the dog? It would be a shame for Angelica not to have the freedom to spend with you, as she's so used to that.
What a tender heart you have. You are so loving and protective I’m sure you will find a way to make it turn out fair for everyone.
It's nice to know what is happening in your life. We all have similar things going on in our lives, so by sharing some of those things with us, we can better understand what is happening and how you are dealing with it. This might help someone cope with a similar problem, or help us understand what you are doing. Thank you for sharing some of the things going on in your life, keep the good work going in restoring your new home.
Hi Alex,
I and a lot of people who are following your journey will understand the emotional attachment to your beloved dogs, and Angelica ….. I’m sure you will protect your dog and our much loved Angelica, Angelica maybe has a new love…. So moving her to another safe location on the farm will good for all, and yes we are all interested in you and you family .. 👍
A you , we are all still here and thinking of you and your family…. Keep moving forward 👍😁💥🎉🍺
Iam sure lots of people will care about your problem. I do. Good luck!
Sad news about your other dog Jakey but yeah 15 years is good life and yes maybe a few weeks of gently introducing Angela and Shiza may work but if not am sure your workout a plan Alex, completely agree just because you do RUclips don’t mean you need to put it all out there 👌🏻.
Hi Alex. So glad you shared your background info as I did wonder about your mama. So sorry for your loss but lt happens to all creation and losing our loved ones is a part of life that eventually we can look back when the grief becomes less and just be happy we were able to spend part of our life with them. My husband and I are enjoying watching your dream home being restored.
We all care about you and your family, and your animals
I love your videos, don’t stop! Best wishes from Canada!
I too lost my 15 year good labradoodle 3 months ago... A long happy life. Still I miss her every day. I greatly enjoy your video.. 2 hard workers.
Of course we all care and love you and your family which includes your dog and Angela. I am so sorry to hear about your other dog. Rest assured she is happy across the Rainbow Bridge ❤️💕❤️. I pray that things will go well with the pets and especially remember you are loved.
thankyou Alex for the heads up how is your dads back i hear he hurt it from nick
Alex. When we start watching certain vlogs we tend to identify with the people and you are not imposing for telling us the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s what life is all about. Recently a vlog in Portugal lost a member . I cried like it was family. And for several days it was on my mind. So now that you share your story about the dog we understand your pain for most of us at some point or another have lost a dog or cat too. Bring your dog to your work area and several times a day try to bring them together. Eventually they might just get along. Big hug to you and carry on with the great work you both are doing. Lots of love from Florida.
Bless you Alex. It’s always sad to lose a beloved pet. You have such a big heart and your RUclips community care a great deal about you. Good luck ❤️
Showing compassion to others is not a pity party. I hope this situation works itself out... see you soon.
I know you are not comfortable talking about something so personal but I have lost one dog this year and will lose my other any time now. I feel your pain and anyone who loves their dog has to accept and go on. I love your videos so keep up all the hard work.
We have had many pets over more than 60 years. I have found that when a dog or cat knows a new animal arrives to their home and we introduce them to each other and we show them continuing love with a form no for any aggression shown, they soon learn. At one time in a large suburban back yard, we had, 3 cats, 2 small dogs, a rescued duck, a French lappin rabbit and 2 Guineapigs. All had free rank of a secure back yard and none were locked in cages. All did their own thing including gathering around me for a pet and cuddle. All were sterilised accept for guinepigs and duck. Had to sterilise our big rabbit as he kept trying to mate with the cats. One big happy family. Trouble is when they pass away, it brakes your heart, but they make your life so much richer with the love they give. Best wishes Yvonne from Australia x
We care and hope for a peaceful coexistence for everyone. Since the dog is new to the farm, a fenced area for him would be good, allowing freedom and getting to know the sheep. It will take work on your part.
Perhaps if you introduce both of them slowly.
I just got to say Alex ur an amazing human being. Thank u for taking us along on ur family saga.. sry abt ur dog got 2 of my own !!! I love it when people who have a channel on RUclips show there real side and u do that stupendously . It shows u really like ur fans..
Not a pity party at all. When you lose an old friend it hurts. To share with us is o.k. and
we are so sorry for your pain.
Thank you for sharing that tender part of your life with us viewers. We do care. I'd never heard of the Cane Corso before so looked it up. It says, besides being a guard dog, that they were also bred to herd cattle. Hopefully, your dog will consider Angela a fuzzy cow. It's encouraging to know you are willing to give it a try even though you have concerns now. Ebony and ivory. We're rooting for you.
It's clear you are a kind and loving human...I have full confidence you will do your utmost to find a solution for everyone to co-exist in some way. Your concern for all the animals tells me you will ensure that everyone has their best possible life. Thank you for keeping us in the loop and sharing another part of your journey!!!
I’m so sorry to hear about loosing your one dog Alex, its heartbreaking, I know as I’ve had dogs all my life and its like loosing a member of the family. You’re certainly not disrespectful sharing your loss with us all. We all care a lot about you and your family even tho we don’t know you in person, but you’ve shown only love, care and amazing attention to Angelica every week we watch you. Thank you for being you and don’t ever change 😊
Hi Alex. Thank you for this video and your willingness to share your personal life with us. I'm very sorry you've lost your "friend". I've had horses, dogs and cats most of my life and they're all gone now. It took a long time to get used to, and I still miss them very much. I've also cared for farm animals, worked as a veterinary assistant and also for big horse farms, training show horses. So, all that said, one safe solution would be to build a very strong dog kennel of adequate size that your dog can't break thru or dig out of. I'm not so sure, at this point in time, since they are both fully grown, that it's reasonable to expect Shiza and Angela to accept each other. Since Angela is accustomed to free roaming at the farm and poses no threat of danger she is the one I would allow to be free. Since Shiza accepts no other animals then it would always be risky to have her loose. But if she has a large kennel with space to run around and a place to get inside then that would keep everyone safe. Just food for thought.
Thanks again for giving us a glimpse into your life and allowing us to know you better. Take care. 🥰
Great advise
Hi Alex, sorry about Jake. I lost Tilly 4 years ago....the pain fades, you have good memories. You other dog she might mellow with time. To chain her for a short while,till you see how she reacts with Angelica. I care,we all do. Thanks for sharing.
Prayers; we had a rescue dog--black lab--the sweetest dog ever; he passed away of old age--and we have not looked for a replacement; he was family --we travel a lot--that is one reason we have not taken in animals ; but our love and respect for animals is high on the list. but like you say--one never knows how they respond to new environments.
My man Alex, i understand your concearns. What i can say to you is that you need to introduce them to eachother slowly... maybe a fence in-between them so that one could smell the other, hear, etc.... the first thing that is important is for them to get used to the smell and "voice" of the other... the only thing you need is to have patience and time... more or less, but i thing they will get along and then together they can annoy you and your father doing the renovation ;)
Don't stress over it ;)
My father used to live in Samora Correia!
I love it there.
God bless you your dog is celebrating life in the after life running in green pastures and waiting for you to come to him when time is right.please feel blessed knowing your dog in this short period of time.God bless you
Now I understand Angela's role out on the farm. Thankyou for sharing your private life. I expected that you must be living in town somewhere. It can't be easy being a stranger in town. You seem to be managing very well apart from the sheep and the neighbour and even that ended reasonably well. How is your young Ram surviving Angela's confidence? Has it put on any nuscle yet? He did look under nourished. All the best. Can your Mum cook Pylmeni ?
I am praying that all things work out between your dog and Angelica. Good luck. 👍
Maybe an outdoor enclosure attached to the house for Shiza, then take turns with Angela in the wider area?
Thank you for sharing… I love hearing about you and your family … hope your mom is ok , please show us more about your mom and dad
Hi Alex, could you set up an area for the dog with a shelter and an enclosed run so the dog is with you on the farm but can’t get to the sheep.
Nick & Andrea from Project Portugal have a big area for their guard dog Max, while their other dogs live in the house with them and are no trouble around their other animals but Max would be a different matter; may be chat with Nick.
That's life my friend. Losing an animal you love. I would't mind if you share that. I think it's just very respectful to things you love. Not everything is like sunshine.
Thanks for sharing. You are doing great.💪🙏
Hey Alex, I'm so sorry for the passing of your dog, Jackie, dogs are family. Really cool that you are bringing Chisa with you - she looks like a super dog! The dynamic between Chisa and Angela will sort itself out. Angela might need more attention from you though for some time :) x
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys, maybe make a kennel by the cate for your dog 🐶 and tray to walk with them together on a line two separate lines so you can keep them away from biting or blocking maybe they will get used to be together.
I am sure everything will be allright.
Hi Alex, if any two people can work this out, it’s you and your father. Good on you mate. Cheers Rob.
Losing a pet you have had one half of your life is tough. The sadness is normal grieving for your loss. Many of us have been through the loss of a beloved pet but the memories will always be with you. Your
Current guard dog is a serious concern which I feel sure you will address. Perhaps a chain or a fenced in paddock might be a solution but whatever you decide I feel sure you will have thought is through and will be in the best interest of all the animals. Thanks for sharing this part of your life.😢❤
So sorry Alex , I know how that feels too , I lost my dog after 9 year of joy and I can’t get confort yet ; you will missed for life he was to special for you. Thank you for sharing you feelings we are your pen friends that we care for you and your family . You will never find a replacement but you can get an other Puppy and let it gown with you other dog and he can be a big brother 👍
So sorry for the loss of your dog Alex, I know how much it hurts too ❤😢 I am sure you will find a solution that is good for everyone so that you are able to continue your fantastic renovation of the farmhouse. We are in Lousa which is just along the N233 if you ever need any help and I have a big truck with a tow bar 😃👍👋🏻
Alex I watch you because I care what happens to you, your Mother, Father and all your animals. You and your Dad are rebuilding a beautiful farm. Do what is best for you all and stop worrying about what all of us watchers think. You are living your dream.
bless you for being so thoughtful... maybe create a different enclosure that gives enough space for your 🐕 dog.. so that he can spend the days with you? OR just take a rest both you and your dad, take some off until your mother gets back... we will miss your updates , but family first!
Thank u for sharing that with us, I know it's hard to share stuff like this. Keeping fingers crossed that ur other dog will settle in on ur land with Angela 🐕🐑🤞
We cannot wait for your videos - sorry about your dog, at least you have Angela. Your dad is a real "cornerstone" for you and you will succeed in whatever you take on all due to your upbringing. Strongs🤗
Hi Alex thank you for sharing, just like you I moved to Canada from Portugal when I was a teenager and started a new life and just like you I'm a animal lover, every day life brings challenges but that's how it is.
I admire you and your family for your strength and hard work.
Good luck and keep going ❤️
I hope it all works out for you. Thank you for sharing.
Good luck you´re a very good person, same your family
Alex- you are a strong man, you can overcome all the problems, and a lot of people care ! Can you tell the location of your farm so that I can see it on Google Earth. Thank you.
Caged or housed close to each other perhaps they will get used to each other . Show shiza how you pet and love Angela and her boy friend perhaps they will learn family is great 😊❣️
There are many who care and feel your pain. I pray it works out for you and that they become best friends
I love your utube channel and I do care about your life. We all have things happen and they do matter deal. Pets are part of our families. I cantell you love yours deeply just by your inter action with them.
Hi alex
So sorry to hear from your dog. My dog acane corso also just passed away op 7 july almost 11. And to say about the bread dog. They do not get allong with other animals when they are not used to itfrom puppy on. Mine could not also
Oh my gosh Alex we all care so much. If we didn't care we wouldn't be watching your channel.🥰
Thanks for sharing. The dog and sheep issue, all you can do is go with the flow. It might take time and patients but youll be fine . Dogs and sheep can be friends. If not a large pen for one or the other. you can always let one out and one in the pen for safety. There animals and they have natural instincts and cant get upset with them. Just work with them. Blessings to you all.
I appreciate a lot that you finally talk a bit about what is moving your heart. I think it is honouring you.
It is a real pleasure to still have your parents with you but even if your dad is helping you day by day rebuilding your farm house with his fantastic skills and detailed knowledge in what he is doing, probably you need a human friend of your age close to you. ---- I fully participate to the loss of your beloved dog. Such deep sorrow makes us feel extremely lonesome, it lays for a long time on us like a never ending shadow. So concentrate on your farm project and give all your love to your second dog, cute Angela and her new young sheep friend. Believe me, the day will come this sorrow shadow will be taken off you.
Don't blame me, I'm only a 74 years old (german) lady, but I felt letting you know that a lot of your followers do appreciate you, I'm convinced. We all care of what will ever happen to you. So please keep on telling us about your life. And please give my standing ovations to the great, great works your father does on your farm house. Greetings from the german part of the northsea near Denmark.

Hi Alex, nice to see the apartment in Samora Correia. Like your dog (labrador?), I think Angeli and the dog will work things out for themselves once they realise they're stuck with each other haha!
Top Man Alex hopefully things will workout for the best.
That‘s so sad. The future will show us. Good luck.
You will find a way thanks for sharing
May it all work out for the best. 🗣📣
Oh dear, that is a dilemma. Hoping you can bring the two pets together happily.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Alex, I don't feel disrespect if you share info about yourself even if it is sad. I feel honored you would trust us with this info and I appreciate you letting me get to know you. Dogs are certainly a wonderful part of out lives and we all have to give them up too soon. Would a baby gate across your dad's room with dog in it work just until your dog gets used to Angela? I love Angela's antics in your videos.
Beautiful apartment! Is your farm near there? Of course we care about the personal part of your life. I must say I feel very attached to Angelica and love her interacting with you and your Dad, but only you know what is best and I will continue to follow your journey.
Of course we care. It's hard to lose our animals/pets/friends/family. We understand. That's what makes you genuine to us. And we understand that there will be some adjustment for you, your dad and other dog at the farm. I hope that you can find a solution that won't lead to your dog having to be rehomed...that's also difficult. I'm sending prayer that things work out as you would like them to. Take care of yourself and know that your life is intertwined with those of your followers.
Thank you for sharing. Appreciated 💖
I care for what you have to say !! It may be a bit tricky with you dog and Anglica. I’m sure you will find away 🙏
Maybe for the first introductions, try a muzzle to prevent biting.
I'm sorry about your dog.Most people care about their pets and consider them family. The best any of us can do is love them and give them a good life. Maybe your dog will be able to adjust to other animals on the farm. I wonder if you can put Angelica and her friend in the enclosure that you have their for a few hours and then let them out and put the dog in there for awhile. Maybe he will get used to sheep smells and be less hostile. I don't know if that will work. Good luck.🙂👍👍🐕🐕🐏🐏
It is lovely to hear about your lives and I hope that we will see both Angela and the beautiful baby of yours.
I will miss Angela. Hope it works out. Take it slow with the two of them. Good luck
Hello alex, yes we do care. Good luck, hope your pets get along well.
I hope they get along, my dog used to hate most other dogs including my sisters (she was full grown when we adopted her) except she tolerated cats and loved my grand dog...if they do not get along I hope that you can find a solution that works, they both will want attention...very pretty apartment
So sorry your dog passed away. 🥲
I am so sorry to hear about the passing away of your dear dog. May he rest in peace over the doggie 🌈. Having lost my 17 yr old Jack Russell last year, (17oOct) which I had since he was 6 weeks old, I can so totally understand the pain. We do care about you and your family, humun and not just. We do otherwise we would not see ur videos nor comment, and especially here in 🇵🇹 Ukrainians are very much respected. What is going on in Ukraine is major tragedy Portugal, ❤️Ukraine and Ukranians, so don't ever think we don't care. I thought your property was somewhere in the Beiras region of Portugal, but you are just about 55 min south of where I am! Thanks for the videos, stay well you and your whole family, canine/sheep included, and let us know how Corso and Angie interact moving forward🤗🙏❤️🇵🇹🇺🇦 ❤️
You are a very caring person..
I find your videos entertaining and interesting. It is nice to see some carving out a new life for themselves, especially with their father. We lost our oldest dog a few months ago so I understand your pain. It's very hard. I look forward to anything you have to say or show us. Sending good wishes that things will work out.
Sorry for you loss Alex dogs leave pawprints on our heats forever chin up mate you know where I am if you need me
Thanks brother.
Hi Alex my little dog who was also 15 years old passed away on the 19 th of August. I miss him terribly. I hope you are doing ok. I hope you can find a happy solution for both animals and works well for you and your dad. Maybe an enclosure for your dog where he can see you. A dog trainer might be able to suggest what might be an option. I hope your mum is ok ❤
I care and thank for your channel
I clicked the “like” button, but, I am not very good on personal loss. Dogs can be great. All the best
It is always difficult to lose a member of one's family, and there is no shame in loving one's pets as members of family. After all, dogs and animals most often make better friends than people do. The big difference is that dogs and pets rely upon you for their care, food, attention and love. Of course, I speak as an animal lover, so explanations are unnecessary. Love watching your videos. Peace and good luck to you!
You have my sincere condolences about the passing of your dog. :( I have been through that, and I respect your decision to wait a while before letting us know about such a difficult thing happening for you, and I appreciate you sharing it with us at all.
Just so you know, I think it's fairly safe to say that there are a LOT of your viewers who really do care about the things you say, what's going on in your life, etc. As somebody who tends to binge all the way through from beginning to end of all the videos when I find a channel like yours that I really enjoy, I can let you know that after a few videos, ya tend to start feeling a connection to the people you're watching. They begin to feel kinda like familiar friends, even if you have never met them. So, never think what you say or do doesn't matter to us! :) You are loved by thousands of strangers! :)
I just want to add that in a day where people are becoming more and more estranged from each other as the traditional family unit is being dissolved, and technology has replaced togetherness, channels like yours seem to hold a very special place in society, a means for us to feel connected to someone, even if it's someone we've never met, and I think that feeling provides hope for a lot of people. So thank you. :)
Hi Alex. Sorry about your loss we just had to put down my sons 13 year old French Bulldog and it was very tough. The adding your dog to the farm will take some time but your dog needs to know that you or your Dad are the alfa's of your pack and what you say goes. Your dog needs to understand that there are good animals and bad animals that will be coming to your property and it's up to you to show your dog which are which because at this point your dog will have no idea. Tie up the dog on a leash and have her watch interactions with Angelica for at least a day before you try and put them together then try to put them in a enclosed area but separated by fencing. Make sure you keep letting your dog know that you are in charge of the situation and if she acts bad correct her verbally and take her away and put her on a leash by herself for 10-15 min then try again. They are a smart loyal breed and to please you she will get it in time. Good luck
I believe when you taking animal to the house, they are become part of your family, and when one passes away, it's like loosing a family member. Sorry Alex about your loss.
Alex no disrespect when sharing you grief with us, at this point we consider you family that why we tune into your channel to see how you're doing. Sorry for your loosing your beloved pet. Glad to see poppa getting around I was worried he'd be down off his back especially since momma is not there taking care of her needs. BTW you have a lovely apartment in town
I love your videos and I hope to see more of them. Sorry about your loss I get it lost my dog at the
ripe old age of 16 life well lived
Don’t feel like you got to apologize, sorry for the passing of the dog. Animals are part of the family. Introduce the dog slowly
Thanks for sharing Alex. It’s better to understand the situation if we don’t see Angella in the videos as often. She is an absolute joy. Love your videos. 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Hi Alex! Sad to hear about your dog. Mostly I work with old dogs so I understand how hard it is when dog pass away. With Angela and your other dog try small steps and on the beginning always on the leash, you need to control situation. I work with animals from many years so if you have any question just let me know.
Of course we care 💜🙏 I live in Australia & I feel like family 💜 bless you Alex take care xxx
Hey this is your life Alex. Thank you for sharing, even to hear sad news. We don't feel there is any disrespect on your part.
Whatever you decide to do concerning your life at the farm is your business. We are amazed and humbled at the progress you and your dad have made. Wouldn't want to miss anything you have to share with us, ever. Chin up Alex. Greatest respect from New Zealand.
.
We care what happens to your life after all you are human and your heart is in the right place most people understand how you feel after losing a pet
Alex - I had 3 dogs in my life one after the other and they lasted 14 - 15 years, and to last that long they have to be lucky, cared for and loved. I do hope your remaining dog learns to get on with or at least tolerate Angelica a sheep that thinks it's a dog. It's also nice to know your back story a little.
Well give the dog time to adjust to where she is and keep the sheep closed in till she feels comfortable.
Hopefully they will become best friends.
