For a stockdog, what is “real work” on a farm or ranch, and how is it different than a competitive trial? Is real work necessary for developing a well-rounded stockdog? What does "well-rounded" even mean, and for that matter, is it really all that important? Rancher, trainer, and trialer, Haley Hunewill is here to tell us. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Imagine an early livestock guardian dog, laying out under the stars thousands of years ago, next to a band of sheep and goats somewhere in what is now Turkey. He sniffs the air and peers into the moonlit night searching for threats as his shepherd snores, and he thinks, “If only this bozo had Zoom and Cindy Benson, we might just understand each other.” Welcome to Farm Dog.Farm Dog is presented by Goats On The Go® and hosted by its founder, Aaron Steele.

Some of the world’s most popular stockdogs would not have come to be without the unique environmental, economic, and social forces at work on the continent of Australia. And Australia would certainly not be what it is today without its dogs. Guy Hull, author of "The Dogs that Made Australia" is here to tell us how this synergy shaped both the dogs and the place.

When you raise sheep on pasture surrounded by the largest carnivore in North America, mountain lions, and a local pack of wolves, you'd better have your act together when it comes to predator protection. For Steve Skelton of Bynum, Montana, that means his sheep live with a security detail of at least 10 livestock guardian dogs representing four or more different breeds. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Most North Americans recognize the German Shepherd Dog and similar breeds as law enforcement, military, and search and rescue dogs. While the German Shepherd never quite caught on here as a farm and ranch worker, the “shepherd” in its name should tell us something about its history, and Ulf Kintzel is here to tell us about its present and future as a working stockdog.

Farm Dog ·

2023/12/11

We’d all like to have a stockdog from a famous line, and most of us understand that the best bet for training a useful working dog is to start with great genetic material. But great genetic material usually comes with an equally great price tag, and it means you’re signing up for the breeder’s goals and not your own. Is it possible to go your own way and save some money in the process? Welcome to ⁠Farm Dog⁠. Farm Dog is presented by Goats On The Go® and hosted by its founder, Aaron Steele

Suppose there is this group of crossbred working dogs that has developed its own little subculture of fans. It’s not a breed really, but someone clearly put some thought behind the crosses with a purpose in mind. Beyond that, though, the dogs' origin story is murky. Should we research, parse, categorize, and standardize the dogs into a definable breed, or just embrace the mystery? Welcome to Farm Dog.

The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD), obviously, was bred for cattle work. But today's farmers and ranchers don't often demand much from the breed, and its appeal to pet owners is strong even though some of its cattle dog instincts are undesirable for domestic life. With pressure to change coming from all sides, who's going to bat for the working genetics of the ACD? Welcome to Farm Dog.

Oftentimes the most pressing challenges farmers and ranchers have with livestock guardian dogs have nothing to do with breeding, training philosophies, and the intricacies of the canine mind.
